A description of the proposed project:
T-Mobile has applied for an Authority to Construct/Permit to install a new diesel-fueled emergency backup generator located on Ridge Drive at Beale AFB. The emergency generator set consists of an alternator and an internal combustion engine. Internal combustion engines emit air contaminants including oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, oxides of sulfur, and particulate matter. The emergency generator will be used to generate power during emergency conditions only at a cell tower. The emergency engine will be periodically tested to ensure that it will generate electricity when needed.

The District is currently evaluating the application and hereby invites written public comment in accordance with California Health and Safety Code 42301.6. Written comments must be received on or before May 20, 2024. Please address written comments to:
