The Bureau of Land Management, Prineville District Deschutes Field Office in Oregon, seeks feedback on a proposed communications tower for the Powell Butte and Alfalfa areas.The proposed site, a 150-foot monopole, will be on BLM land and private property near Powell Butte, as a provider of wireless telecommunications and first responder services in the area. It would be near the intersection of Stearns Road and SW Alfalfa Road — southeast of the Brasada Canyons Golf Course in Crook County.
The site will feature a related panel and microwave antenna, radio transmitters, radio receivers, and cables. The facility will also contain an equipment shelter, back-up emergency power generator, fuel tank, and buried utility line.
