SUMMARY:BEAD-Funded Broadband Projects: Navigate Environmental Hurdles with Ease
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process is essential for applicants seeking to leverage Broadband Equity\, Access\, and Deployment (BEAD) funding — a National Telecommunications Information Administration (NTIA)-led federal program designed to expand high-speed internet access across unserved and underserved communities. In this webinar\, Terracon’s environmental and telecommunications experts will lead an engaging discussion on common environmental challenges in the BEAD program\, provide an overview of what processes to expect\, and explain how to foresee and avoid missteps in environmental review that can lead to costly project delays.  \n\n\n\nBring your questions\, and join in the conversation\, as we explore how to:  \n\n\n\n\nClarify roles and responsibilities between states and applicants\, especially when states are acting as a joint lead agency under NEPA \n\n\n\nBuild a well-defined project description as a baseline for a successful process and understand the potential implications of design changes  \n\n\n\nUnderstand how NTIA’s tools and regulations relate to the overall process\, including the Environmental Screening and Permitting Tracking Tool (ESAPTT) and ArcGIS Pro Permitting and Environmental Information Tool (APPEIT) tools \n\n\n\nIdentify red flags early to prevent surprises and keep projects on schedule \n\n\n\nUnderstand special award conditions (SACs) to ensure they are correctly implemented \n\n\n\nUse tools and tips to help keep your project on track \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n    	\n    \n\n	\n	\n	\n		\n\nDate & Time\n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n        \n        		\n			\n		\n    \n	\n\n\n    \n\n	\n	\n	\n		\n\nMedia\n\n\n\n            \n                Watch the replay: BEAD-Funded Broadband Projects: Navigate enviornmental hurdles with ease \n    \n\n\n\n    \n        \n\n            \n                \n                     \n\n                \n            \n        \n    \n\n\n    \n\n	\n	\n	\n		\n\nDisclaimer: Terracon retains ownership in all intellectual property rights to the content and your use of Terracon content must be for your personal use only\, i.e.\, it may not be shared or used in excerpts or quotes unless approved by Terracon. \n\n\n	\n\n\n        \n        \n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n        \n        \n	\n\n\n    \n\n	\n	\n	\n		\n\nDownloads & Materials\n\n\n    \n\n	\n	\n	\n		\n\n\nPresentation slides\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n        \n        \n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n        \n        \n	\n\n\n    \n\n	\n	\n	\n		\n\nContact Our Speakers\n\n\n\nTell us about your project or ask a question. \n\n\n\n    \n        \n            \n                                                    \n            \n    \n    \n        Emily McMillin\, AICP         Principal / Associate Director of National Accounts                     \n                Email Me\n             \n                                    \n\n\n                                    \n            \n    \n    \n        Kathy Eisele         National Director Telecom and Broadband / Digital Infrastructure                     \n                Email Me\n             \n                                    \n\n\n                                    \n            \n    \n    \n        Woo Smith         Principal / Operations Manager                     \n                Email Me
