Endangered Species Habitat Assessments at Proposed Cellular One Tower Sites in Central Texas

LAI examined 13 proposed cellular phone tower sites in Kerr, Kimble, Mason, McCulloch, Concho, and San Saba counties for potential endangered species habitat, including the black-capped vireo (Vireo atricapilla), golden-cheeked warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia), and Tobusch fishhook cactus (Sclerocactus brevihamatus var. tobuschii).  The primary focus of the assessments, as requested by the Client, was the area for the base of the proposed antenna (approximately 50 ft x 50 ft).  The area surrounding the base was also examined, on a more limited basis, up to approximately a
400-ft radius around the proposed antenna.
