Universal Citation: MS Code of Rules 16-3-12.2.1
Current through September 24, 2024

Direct Effects

The APE for direct effects is the area of ground disturbance for the tower, including any proposed access roads, or other construction activity that will result from the undertaking.

Visual (Indirect) Effects

Standard APEs for visual effects have been suggested in the National Programmatic Agreement (NPA) and will guide reviews by the MSSHPO. However, topography and other environmental factors may warrant the development of an alternate APE. The NPA affords the SHPO the right to recommend an alternate APE for any projects. Unless an alternate APE is developed in consultation with the SHPO, the following APEs should be used for assessing visual effects:

Tower Height

APE Radius

<= 200 feet

1/2 mile

201-400 feet

3/4 mile

> 400 feet

1 1/2 miles
