Environmental Consequences General Methodology for Assessing Impacts United States Department of the Interior NATIONAL PARK SERVICE National Capital Region Rock Creek Park 3545 Williamsburg Lane, N.W. Washington, DC 20008-1207 January 28, 2015 From: Nicholas Bartolomeo, Chief of Resource Management Re: Memo to File, AT&T Wireless Telecommunications Facility Colocation, PEPC Project 35769 This memo to file documents changes as of this date to the compliance of PEPC Project 35769, AT&T WTF Colocation, in Rock Creek Park. The site plan for AT&T’s facility colocation at the Verizon Wireless Colorado Avenue-Rock Creek Tennis Center monopole location was revised following the completion of NEPA and NHPA compliance by the National Park Service, Rock Creek Park in 2014. The site plan as submitted on December 4, 2014 to the National Capital Planning Commission for review reflects the current plan for this portion of the project. Specifically, the plan calls for the installation of 12 antenna on the existing Verizon monopole at the site, directly below the existing Verizon antenna. Ground equipment will be hosted in a 12’ x 22’ cabinet located due east of the monopole, directly adjacent to the existing tennis court facility and connected to the monopole by an underground cable conduit. National Park Service staff have reviewed these revised plan and concluded that impacts to natural and cultural resources to the site, as described in the approved project Environmental Screening Form and Assessment of Effects documentation, has not changed. Therefore, the approved project compliance documents will not be revised. This memo to file also documents changes to the proposed implementation of the project by AT&T. Specifically, AT&T is proposing to proceed with the colocation of the facility at the Colorado Avenue- Rock Creek Tennis Center location. However, a company representative has informed the National Park Service that the colocation of telecommunications facilities at the Verizon Wireless monopole adjacent to the Rock Creek Park Maintenance Yard has been “temporarily placed…on hold due to budget concerns.” The representative noted that AT&T “will eventually phase [the Maintenance Yard project] in but only when this region’s budget is increased.” (See correspondence to file, Clare Liedquist to National Park Service, January 27 2015.) As the Rock Creek Park Maintenance Yard colocation remains in AT&T’s project implementation plans, and the National Park Service compliance considered both these colocations as a connected action, the approved project compliance documents will not be revised. Rather, this change in the project implementation schedule is documented in this memo to file.

The parcel contains a decommissioned heating plant that was previously used to produce steam to heat Federal buildings in the District, as well as associated infrastructure. While the proposed action is the disposal of the property, this EA also analyzes the indirect impacts from a reasonably foreseeable development scenario on the parcel once GSA disposes of the property. For the purposes of impacts analysis in the EA, it is assumed that any redevelopment would be consistent with surrounding land use zoning, W-2 Waterfront District, Medium Density (Mixed Use).
