Tidewater Telecom, Inc. is currently making an application to the Rural Utility Service (RUS) to finance certain telephone facilities. A Loan Design is being prepared for the funding of the facilities that will be placed during the next five years. As part of the application for RUS financing, Tidewater Telecom, Inc. must assess the impact that construction will have on the environment. All requirements of Federal Register, 7CFR Part 1970, dated April 1, 2016, including all National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements, must be met.
Tidewater Telecom, Inc. is an RUS borrower; therefore, its construction practices will conform to RUS’s published Construction Practices and List of Acceptable Materials.
