An analysis of existing communication facilities in the Project area and of the potential effects of the Project on existing communication facilities is provided below. E-5.2 Existing Communication Facilities A review of Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) on-line Antenna Structure Registration Search database1 reveals a total of 130 registered communication towers located within five miles of the proposed right-of-way (“ROW”). These towers include two AM towers, four FM towers, one cellular tower, and 123 microwave towers. A summary of the registered towers within five miles of the ROW is presented in Table E-5-1. No communication facilities have been identified in the Project ROW. The location of communication facilities will be reconfirmed during the final design of the Project. Figure E-5-1 depicts the locations of the registered towers. E-5.3 Transmission Effects on Communication Facilities Communication interference generally associated with transmission lines is attributed to gap noise and corona. Underground circuits do not experience these phenomena. Therefore, the Project is expected to have no adverse impact on communications during either construction or operation. If the Applicant receives any complaints of suspected interference with radio, television, or other communications systems in the surrounding area, the Applicant will resolve any interference determined to be a result of the proposed Project by implementing mitigation measures including the repair of any defects, enhanced shielding, or the relocation of impacted communication equipment. 1 < https://hifld-dhs-gii.opendata.arcgis.com/>, accessed August 28, 2017. LIPA/PSEG Long Island Exhibit E-5: Effect on Communications WNT Project E-5-1 Article VII Application E-5.4 Mitigation Standards While the Project is not expected to result in interference to radio, television, or other communications systems, the Applicant will comply with applicable provisions of the National Electrical Safety Code (“NESC”) related to appropriate spacing between the Project and communication facilities. During final design of the Project and the development of the Environmental Management and Construction Plan (“EM&CP”), the Applicant will contact potential third-party underground communication cable operators to reconfirm there are no underground communication facilities within or crossed by the Project ROW. In addition, with the assistance of Dig Safely New York, the Applicant will conduct ground surveys for all existing underground facilities, including communication cables, to ascertain whether there are underground communication facilities within the Project ROW and at road and railroad crossing locations. If underground communication facilities are found within the Project ROW or at road and railroad crossings, the Applicant will ensure that the location of the communication facilities is accurately shown on construction drawings and that appropriate clearances and interference protection are verified.
