Document Description
Cingular Wireless proposes to construct an unmanned telecommunications facility under license on land owned by The Regents of the University of California and managed by the Riverside campus (UCR) as the Philip L. Boyd Deep Canyon Desert Research Center (CDCRC) (UCR project no. 958987-2). The license would allow Cingular to use a portion of the DCDRC to install and operate an antenna and receiving equipment cabinets for the receipt and transmission of wireless communication signals. The area for the proposed tower was selected by the DCDRC's Reserve Director to minimize potential impacts to undisturbed habitat, existing research projects, and teaching areas. The site is located along an existing dirt road, east of SR-74, approximately 10 miles south of SR-111 and the City of Palm Desert.
