## Terms and Definitions {#terms-and-definitions .unnumbered}

The terms used in this communications site management plan conform to
the definitions listed in the April 22, 2005, Federal Register notice
"Rights-of-Way, Principles and Procedures: Rights-of-Way Under the
Federal Land Policy and Management Act and the Mineral Leasing Act"
(available at:
<http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/01jan20051800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2005/pdf/05-7501.pdf>)

and clarifications provided in Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Handbook
2860-1 and the United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 43 CFR
2800. In the event of a conflict, between the plan and these sources,
the Federal Register notice and the BLM Handbook will govern.

The words "lease" and "lessee" as used in this plan refer to the
relationship between the BLM and the communications use lease lessee, or
right-of-way (ROW) holder. The words "customer" and "tenant" refer to
the relationship between the lessee or holder and the occupants in the
lessee's facilities.

LEASE OR ROW -- A use authorization issued to a communication Facility
Owner or Facility Manager allowing for the use of public land to
construct and or operate a communications facility and, unless
specifically prohibited, to sublease to occupants in that facility.

LESSEE, OR LEASE OR ROW HOLDER -- Facility Owner or Facility Manager

CUSTOMER -- Entities that pay a facility owner, facility manager or
tenant for communications services and are not re-selling or
broadcasting communications services to others

TENANT -- A communications user who rents space in a communications
facility and operates communication equipment for the purpose of
re-selling or broadcasting communications services to others for profit.

COMMUNICATIONS SITE -- An area of BLM-managed public land designated
through the land and resource management planning process as being used
or is suitable for communications uses. A communications site may be
limited to a single communications facility, but most often encompasses
more than one. Each site is identified by name; usually a local
prominent landmark, such as Green Mountain Communications Site.

FACILITY MANAGER -- The holder of a BLM communications use authorization
who leases space for other communication users. A facility manager does
not directly provide communications services to third parties.

FACILITY OWNER -- Individuals, commercial entities, organizations, or
agencies, that own a communications facility on Federal land; own and
operate their own communications equipment; and hold a communications
use authorization.

NON-BROADCAST -- This category includes Commercial Mobile Radio Service
(CMRS), Facility Managers, Cellular Telephone, Private Mobile Radio
Service (PMRS), Microwave, Local Exchange Network, and Passive
Reflector.

BROADCAST -- This category includes Television Broadcast, AM and FM
Radio Broadcast, Cable Television, Broadcast Translator, Low Power
Television, and Low Power FM Radio.

RIGHT-OF-WAY (ROW) -- The public land authorized to be used or occupied
pursuant to a ROW grant.

RIGHT-OF-WAY GRANT -- A use authorization issued pursuant to Title V of
the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of October 21, 1976 (U.S.C.
1701 *et seq.*) or issued on or before October 21, 1976, pursuant to
then existing statutory authority, authorizing the use of a ROW over,
upon, under or through public land for construction, operation,
maintenance and termination of a project.

HOLDER -- Any applicant who has received a ROW grant, lease or temporary
use permit.

USERS -- All ROW and lease holders, lessees, customers, and tenants that
own or operate a facility or communication equipment at the
communication site.

## Purpose {#purpose .unnumbered}

This plan will be used by BLM officials administering communications
uses at Green Mountain, existing lessees, holders, and applicants
desiring a lease, grant, or an amendment to an existing lease or ROW
grant. The plan will be kept updated by amending pages or sections of
the plan rather than issuing a revised edition of the plan. When a
revision is necessary, a letter from the Uncompahgre Field Office
enclosing a copy of revised pages or sections will amend the plan. The
amendments will be consecutively numbered.

Overall management direction for the administration of communications
sites is outlined in the CFR and the BLM Handbook and applicable BLM
Instructional Memoranda. Specific direction for site management planning
on designated communications sites is contained in BLM Handbook 2860-1.
Primary regulations and policy pertaining to issuance of ROW and lease
authorizations by the BLM are found in Title 43 CFR 2800 and BLM
Handbook 2860-1.

The site is identified in the Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area
(NCA) Resource Management Plan (RMP) approved in November 2004. The site
is designated in the RMP for low power communication uses.

Prior communications site management plans have not been developed for
Green Mountain. This Site Management Plan provides applicable guidance
and adds current policy and technical standards for better management of
the Green Mountain Communications Site. This plan governs development
and management of Green Mountain and will be modified in the future as
needs and conditions warrant. Any future such uses must be designed,
installed, operated, and maintained to be compatible and not interfere
with the senior uses as defined in Appendix B, Lessee Facility Table.
This site-specific plan is administrative in nature and is Categorically
Excluded from further review under the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) (516.DM2, Appendix 1,1.7). Any additional development of the site
will be addressed in a site-specific NEPA document.

## Site Description {#site-description .unnumbered}

The site is located on Green Mountain, which is located north of the
Gunnison River Gorge and southwest of Crawford, Colorado. The area is
managed by the Uncompahgre Field Office. The site is specifically
located in S½SE¼, Section 5, T. 50 N., R. 8 W., New Mexico Principle
Meridian at approximately 38º 37' 13" North Latitude and 107º 46' 56"
West Longitude (NAD 83). The elevation at the Green Mountain
Communications Site is approximately 8,442 feet above mean sea level. A
Communication Site Plat is provided as Appendix A.

## Area Served {#area-served .unnumbered}

This site does not serve a Ranally Metro Area (RMA). The population zone
served is less than 25,000 (Zone 9). These zones may be adjusted in the
future as population change. This information will be used for rental
fee determination.

## Access {#access .unnumbered}

Access to Green Mountain is from SH 92 just south of the Crawford
Reservoir and then west on County Route C77. The final access road is a
two-track route from C77 south and then east to the rim and the
communications site.

The portion of the road on public land from C77 to the site is
authorized under ROW grant COC 59910.

## Site History and Development {#site-history-and-development .unnumbered}

In 1996, the first communications facility ROW on Green Mountain was
granted to the Black Canyon - Curecanti National Park Service for UHF
and VHF radio repeaters and links. Other government entities in this
facility include Delta County EMS, Montrose County Sheriff\'s Posse, and
Crawford Fire Department.

A list of all facilities, including tenants and customers, as of the
date of this plan can be found in Appendix B.

Access is extremely limited and the power is limited to solar panel
arrays. Space appears to be available in the existing building and tower
to serve this area for the current demand. Any modifications to existing
facilities or proposals for new facilities must be approved by the
Uncompahgre Field Office according to the appropriate NEPA process and
guidance described in this document.

## Goals and Objectives of Site Management Plan {#goals-and-objectives-of-site-management-plan .unnumbered}

1\. Manage the Green Mountain Site for non-broadcast uses within the
Operation and Maintenance guidelines within this plan. All uses must be
designed, operated and maintained so as not to materially or
electronically interfere with the existing uses.

2\. Manage communication equipment on the Green Mountain Site to
maintain the radio frequency (RF) hazard to be within the Public and
Occupational Standards as defined by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC).

3\. Systematically develop the site to maximize the number of compatible
uses while ensuring safety and protection of resources. Development of
new towers or buildings within each of the authorized owner's facilities
will be authorized only after their respective tower or building space
area is filled to near capacity.

4\. Present a program for future growth, development and operation
within the site which is consistent with the Gunnison Gorge NCA RMP. See
section VI General Operation and Maintenance Direction; A. Unique
Resource Considerations at this Communications Site.

5\. Help fulfill the public need for adequate communications sites.

6\. Protect the interests of holders, lessees, tenants and customers, by
preserving a safe and electronically "clean" environment.

7\. Encourage the efficient development and use of space and facilities
within the designated site, subject to the BLM's goal to provide the
best possible public service at reasonable cost.

8\. Achieve visual quality objectives by requiring design standards that
are unobtrusive and utilizing earth tone colors and non-reflective
surface material and stringent site maintenance requirements.

9\. Describe the BLM's policy for road maintenance.

10\. Develop new facilities only after the appropriate site-specific
NEPA analysis and coordination with current lease or ROW holders and
users. This future development must be consistent with the NCA RMP.
[]{.mark}

11\. Amend this Communications Site Plan as necessary to be consistent
with future RMPs.

| #  AUTHORITY AND DIRECTION                                            |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

## Authority

BLM's authority to authorize communications uses on public land
(administered by the BLM) is granted by the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976, 90 Stat. 2776 (43 U.S. C. 1761-1771) and is
reflected in Title 43, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 2800 and BLM
Washington Office Information Bulletin 98-23.

BLM authority for communications site management planning is contained
in BLM Handbook 2801-1, Plan of Development and H-2860-1, Communication
Site Rights-of-way. Direction on, and policy for communication use
authorizations is contained in BLM Manual Section 2860.

Authority for the issuance of authorizations and/or licenses for the
transmission and reception of electronic radiation for communication
purposes is granted by Congress and administered by the FCC and/or the
National Telecommunication and Information Administration -- Interagency
Radio Advisory Committee (NTIA/IRAC).

## Relationship to Communications Site Leases/ROW Grants

This site plan will be incorporated into all leases and ROW grants
issued (now and/or in the future) for this communications site and must
be used in conjunction with the granting authorization. **PROVISIONS OF
THE SITE PLAN ARE ENFORCED THROUGH THE GRANTING AUTHORIZATION.** Each
lessee or holder is expected to include the requirements of the
authorization and the site plan into any documents, which describe the
business relationship between the lessee or holder's and their tenants
and customers. The lessee or holder is responsible for enforcing those
provisions.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| # GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES                                            |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

## The Bureau of Land Management retains the responsibility for:

1.  Issuing and amending authorizing instruments to Facility Owners and
    Facility Managers, only for the areas actually occupied by the
    authorized improvements. Granting occupancy and use of public land
    rests exclusively with the BLM. The issuance of a FCC license
    (authorization), or frequency assignment, does not authorize
    occupancy of public land.

2.  Approving any new facility(ies) at the site.

3.  Approving amendments to existing facilities (i.e. additions to
    tower, antenna, equipment or building), and approving assignments of
    leases and ROW grants to qualified buyers of facilities on the site.

4.  Approving any modifications to existing facilities including the
    tower, antenna, equipment or building. Also, approving any changes
    to the existing FCC licenses, prior to the submission of an
    application to the FCC.

5.  Frequency Management. The BLM is not normally responsible for the
    resolution of conflicts when the licensees or agencies are operating
    within the limits of the FCC and NTIA/IRAC authorizations.

6.  Notifying existing users at the site of any proposed new uses and
    provide for a 30-day comment period. If the new use(s) is opposed
    based on proven technical merits and the technical issues cannot be
    resolved, the BLM will deny the proposed new use(s).

## B. Facility Owners and Facility Managers (or their designated representatives) are responsible for: {#b.-facility-owners-and-facility-managers-or-their-designated-representatives-are-responsible-for .unnumbered}

1.  Complying with their use authorization and all provisions of this
    site plan.

2.  Ensuring that all new facilities, expansions, or improvements are
    consistent with the Gunnison Gorge NCA and Uncompahgre Field Office
    Planning Documents; any environmental document(s)/decisions for the
    site; and, this site plan.

3.  Ensuring facilities/equipment not complying with Federal/State/local
    laws/regulations/ ordinances will be removed or modified. Any
    modification needs pre-approval by the BLM.

4.  Keeping all facilities within the established limits of their
    authorized area.

5.  Providing the BLM with the name, address and phone number for a
    local contact person. The Facility Owner and Facility Manager and
    the contact person may be the same individual. The contact person
    will be available for emergencies and will have the authority to
    make decisions about construction issues, facility maintenance and
    all equipment within the facility.

6.  Adhering to the Facility Owner/Facility Manager Lease/ROW as
    follows:

    a.  Facility Owners and Facility Managers with Communications Use
        Leases and ROW grants are authorized to rent building/tower
        space to tenants and/or customers without prior written approval
        from the BLM.

    b.  Tenants and/or customers may not construct their own equipment
        shelter (building, shelter or cabinet) or antenna support
        structure (tower or mast). The facility owner must own all
        communication shelters and towers under their lease or grant.
        \[If that is not possible, a separate SF-299 application,
        cost-recovery deposit, analysis, and authorization are required.
        This will also result in the use being a tenant/customer of the
        original lease/ROW in addition to being a separate facility for
        billing purposes.\]

    c.  Tenants and/or customers using a facility covered by a Facility
        lease/ROW will not have separate BLM leases/ROWs to authorize
        the use except in situations where regulations or policy require
        them.

    d.  Facility Owners and Facility Managers are responsible for
        complying with the terms and conditions of the facility
        lease/ROW. Facility Owners/Facility Managers are also
        responsible for ensuring that their tenants and customers are in
        compliance with the terms and conditions of the lease/ROW and
        applicable FCC or NTIA/IRAC license terms and conditions.

    e.  The Facility Owner and Facility Manager may not place any
        unreasonable restrictions nor any restriction restraining
        competition or trade practices on tenants and/or customers, or
        potential tenants and/or customers.

7.  Ensuring that all communications equipment is properly installed,
    operated, and maintained.

8.  Ensuring that all communication equipment meets ANSI, FCC and BLM
    regulations, guidelines and standards concerning radiation
    limitations by:

    a.  Monitoring radiation levels at their facility and;

    b.  Immediately correcting any radiation levels that are, or could
        be a hazard to human health. (FCC 47CFR sections 1.1307(b),
        1.1310 and 2.1093) and FCC OET Bulletin 54, August 1999.

9.  Providing a certified copy of all uses and the correct category of
    uses within the facility, along with the current phone numbers and
    addresses of all tenants and customers as of September 30th each
    year. This report is due by October 15th each year.

10. Keeping the premises around their buildings free of trash and
    debris.

11. Placing the BLM lease/ROW serial number on the door of their
    communications site building.

12. Correcting all interference problems. The users are normally
    responsible for the resolution of conflicts when the licensees or
    agencies are operating within the limits of the FCC and NTIA/IRAC
    authorizations.

## C. FCC and NTIA/IRAC are responsible for: {#c.-fcc-and-ntiairac-are-responsible-for .unnumbered}

Frequency Management. The FCC and NTIA/IRAC are not normally responsible
for the resolution of conflicts when the licensees or agencies are
operating within the limits of the authorizations.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

##  {#section .unnumbered}

## Use by Multiple Users {#use-by-multiple-users .unnumbered}

Use of all facilities and improvements by more than one user
[will]{.underline} [be]{.underline} required except where the facility
owner is a government agency. Site applicants will take the lead in this
area and design their proposals to accommodate multiple uses of
facilities and improvements. This includes multiple uses of buildings,
towers, back-up generators, grounding systems, fuel containers, access
ways and parking areas.

Due to the availability of building and tower space at the site, new
facilities, or major modifications to existing facilities will generally
not be approved until the empty space is utilized even if other users
are, or could be, competitors.

Facility Owners and Facility Managers are not required to lease facility
space to others if they can prove to the authorized BLM officer that:

1.  Space is not available;

2.  The use is incompatible with the existing facilities;

3.  Additional space is needed by the facility owner/manager;

4.  Additional users would violate system security needs; or,

5.  Potential interference is not resolvable.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| # FEES                                                                |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

The BLM will charge Facility Owners and Facility Managers annual rental
fees based on the Fee Schedule for Communications Uses on Public Lands,
as adjusted annually. These fees will be fair market value for the use
of public land. The population Zone 9 will be used for these
calculations unless something else is specifically agreed to in writing
by the authorizing officer or until populations change.

Fees that Facility Owners and Facility Managers may charge their tenants
and "customers" are to be:

> Reasonable (consistent with, and not in excess of, other fees for
> similar facilities) and commensurate with the uses and occupancy of
> the facilities and services provided to tenants and "customers".

## Unique Resource Considerations at this Communication Site

This site is adjacent to the Gunnison Gorge NCA. Specific direction
which is applicable to this site will include visual impact analysis and
considerations as seen from view points within the NCA and the Black
Canyon of the Gunnison National Park (NP).

This site is within the Gunnison Gorge NCA planning area. Specific
direction which is applicable to this site is as follows:

1.  *LAND-C-8 Approximately 5 acres of public lands on Green Mountain
    ... will be designated as low-power communication site. A detailed
    site and landscape plan will be developed before authorizing any
    additional uses.... and visual impacts of existing uses will be
    mitigated where possible. Fencing will be required at all sites for
    security. Construction, materials, or structures on the site will
    not create strong visual contrasts as seen from the Black Canyon of
    the Gunnison National Park, NCA, or Wilderness area .Future
    applicants will collaborate with the BLM and Park Service to develop
    the proposed action during the application process and to mitigate
    the visual impacts. Each future additional application for use will
    be accompanied by a simulation visual analysis and visual impact
    determination as seen from to-be-selected critical viewing points,
    in order to assess the actual visual impacts for the proposal and
    the alternatives.*

> *All future uses at the Green Mountain ... Communication Site will not
> interfere with the uses currently authorized at the time new
> applications are received.* (This plan meets this intent.)

The RMP states that Green Mountain will be designated as a low-power
communication site. Without defining high power and low power,
implementation of this plan would be difficult.

The intent of this plan was to reduce the overall effective radiated
power (ERP) at this site. Therefore, in keeping with the objectives of
the NCA RMP, this plan will limit new uses at this site to non-broadcast
uses only. No new broadcasting uses would be allowed at this site.

Any changes in the existing FCC licensed uses (i.e. frequency, ERP,
height above average terrain (HAAT)) requires review and approval by the
BLM prior to submission of an application to the FCC. Any changes to the
tower, antenna, equipment, or building requires review and approval by
the BLM.

If any additional coordination measures are identified in the future
through the NEPA and or RMP process, the appropriate standards will be
amended to this plan.

## Wiring and Grounding  {#wiring-and-grounding .unnumbered}

> 1\. All equipment is to be installed within existing buildings and on
> equipment racks that are grounded and shielded. Grounding is to be
> installed in accordance with accepted standards.
>
> 2\. All electrical wiring and grounding must meet the "National
> Electrical Code" and applicable State/local codes. All permanent
> wiring shall be installed in metallic conduit. Surge protection shall
> be installed on all power distribution panels.
>
> 3\. Lightning protection shall be in accordance with NEC part 810-20
> Antenna Discharge Units and part 810-21 Grounding Conductors. Periodic
> bonding of the down conductor to the tower (Galvanized) steel shall be
> made with proper bonding connectors that are tin plated or made of
> brass.
>
> 4\. Each building is to have its own separate grounding system for all
> users in that structure. Wherever practical, interconnection of
> individual grids and/or the simultaneous placement of a large sized
> copper ground wire with any new grounding systems that are buried on
> the site will be required.
>
> 5\. Site or facility grounding must be constructed of copper, with #2
> AWG or larger wire or 2" or larger solid copper strap, connected to an
> adequate site/facility ground electrode system. The site/facility
> ground electrode system shall be bonded to the power service entrance
> grounding electrode conductor. Guy wires should also be grounded using
> manufacturers approved methods to preclude bi-metallic junction and
> corrosion. All equipment on the site (buildings, towers, power units,
> transmitters, receivers, antennas, combiners, telephone systems, power
> cabinets, HVAC units, etc) must be connected to the site/facility
> ground by direct connection. Electrical system ground wiring is
> required for electrical ground fault protection and circuit breaker
> coordination. High power operations should use copper strap bonding in
> accordance with manufacturers specifications. The grounding systems
> shall comply with applicable laws, codes and in accordance with
> standard engineering practice. Below ground connections must use
> either an exothermic welding process (i.e. Cadweld, Thermoweld, etc.),
> copper wedge pressure devices (i.e. Ampact, Wrench-lock, etc.), or
> brazed copper connections in conjunction with a mechanical UL listed
> connector (to be used as a physical strength enhancement component).
> Brazing by itself is not an acceptable method of bonding below earth
> grade (buried).

## Communications Equipment  {#communications-equipment .unnumbered}

[Equipment Ownership]{.underline}

All equipment shall be labeled with:

1.  The owner's name;

2.  Transmitter frequency(ies);

3.  A valid FCC, or IRAF, authorization;

4.  Transmitting power output(s); and

5.  A current 24-hour phone contact number.

[Transmitting Equipment]{.underline}

The BLM manual, H-2860-1, Communication Site Right-of-Way Handbook (Rel.
2-268, dated 3/29/90) states that "mixed low power (less than 1000 watts
ERP) and high power (1000 watts ERP and greater) use of a site often
creates severe interference problems for low power users, and generally
is advisable to separate the two types of uses". Future and existing
uses at Green Mountain will be limited to less than 1000 watts ERP in
order to attempt to maintain site integrity for existing users

All transmitters will have protective devices (shields, filters,
isolation components), designed into or externally installed, to prevent
interference to other users. All transmitters shall be FCC type accepted
or meet type acceptance criteria.

Re-radiation of intercepted signals from any unprotected transmitter and
its associated antenna system will be prevented by the use of
appropriate filters (wide band and narrow band broadcast transmitters).

Direct radiation of out-of-bound emissions, (i.e. transmitter wide band
noise, spurious emissions, harmonics, etc.) shall be reduced to a level
such that they may not be identified as a source of interference as
defined in the FCC Rules and Regulations (e.g. Part 90.209(e)) by using
bandpass, lowpass, and/or harmonic filtering. Where duplexing is used,
use of a notch type device should be avoided. In situations where a
notch type or a hybrid device is used, a bandpass filter must be used
with the transmitter. If site noise (electromagnetic noise) becomes an
issue, noise threshold limits will be established, and amended into the
site plan.

Band-reject filtering may be required in certain applications.

Re-radiation of signals from a transmitter and its associated antenna
system shall be prevented by installing appropriate devices (i.e.
ferrite isolators), with minimum return loss of 25 db.

All transmitters not in immediate use and not specifically designated as
standby equipment shall be removed. Loads connected to circulators are
to be capable of dissipating the total power output of the transmitter.

[Receiving Equipment]{.underline}

All receivers shall comply with all applicable parts of the FCC rules,
including Parts 2 and 15.

All receivers shall have sufficient "front end" pre-selection to prevent
receiver spurious response. The use of bandpass, band-reject cavity or
crystal filters to prevent receiver-produced intermodulation or
adjacent-channel interference is recommended at the input of all
receiving devices. Use of a notch type device is not permitted.

[Tower]{.underline}

1.  Generally only one tower is authorized for each facility owner.
    Facility Owners and Facility Managers may obtain permission to
    construct a second tower only after submitting evidence that
    demonstrates that their existing tower is completely filled and full
    use has been made of combining systems.

2.  All towers will be left unpainted, if they are dull, galvanized
    steel. If paint is required, the BLM will approve only
    non-reflective colors from the Munsell Soil Color Chart, Standard
    Environmental Colors.

3.  Maximum tower height for this site is 50 feet. Towers must be
    designed to meet on site wind and icing conditions estimated to be
    70 mph with 1 inch ice and otherwise meet the EIA/TIA-222 standards.

4.  Anti-climb devices, removable steps, or other means to discourage
    unauthorized climbing, are highly recommended to reduce or avoid
    liability claims.

5.  All new towers will be self supporting. No new guy lines are
    permitted.

6.  To avoid possible impacts to birds or bats, follow the most current
    version of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's Interim Guidelines on
    the Siting, Construction, Operation and Decommissioning of
    Communication Towers (available at
    http://migratorybirds.fws.gov/issues/towers/comtow.html).

[Antennas]{.underline}

1.  Microwave (dish) antennas (other than ground mounted satellite
    dishes) will be limited to a maximum of six (6) feet in diameter.
    The smallest diameter dish that is technically feasible is
    preferred. No microwave dish may be mounted above the 20\' height on
    the tower to avoid visual impacts to the NCA and the National Park.

2.  All antennas must meet all OSHA safety standards. If an antenna
    exceeds FCC public or occupations standards (see FCC OET Bulletin
    57), it will be remedied within 24 hours after measures are taken or
    isolated (e.g., fencing, signing, relocation, lowering power levels
    are all possible remedies). Ground measurements of radio frequency
    radiation (RFR) levels will be taken before mitigation measures are
    implemented.

3.  Color(s) for dish antennas, or covers, must be pre-approved by the
    BLM. White dish antennas and/or covers will not be approved.
    Typically, only dark grey antennas and/or covers will be approved.

4.  Antennas will be treated for low to non-reflectance.

[Interference]{.underline}

The responsibility for correcting interference problems is a matter for
resolution between the lease/ROW holder of the facility(ies), the user
causing the interference, and the affected party(ies). First users on a
site have seniority with respect to the resolution of interference
complaints. All site uses have an obligation to maintain their equipment
to industry standards, to operate their systems in accordance with the
terms of the FCC license and NTIA/IRAC frequency authorization, and to
comply with the BLM regulations.

New users on a site must correct, at their expense, interference
problems that they create. They may be required to furnish an
intermodulation study, electromagnetic noise study, or other
interference-related data and agree to accept financial responsibility
for elimination or prevention of any interference caused by the facility
before their application can be evaluated. They must cease operation of
the suspect equipment until the problem is corrected. If interference
problems cannot be resolved or corrected within a reasonable time, the
new use that is causing the interference may be terminated and the
equipment removed.

All users shall cooperate with the Site Users Association, to be formed,
and the BLM in identification and correction of any interference. The
BLM does not have authority for correcting interference problems, but
can act as a mediator to help all affected parties. Interference
problems must be coordinated with the FCC or NTIA/IRAC, whichever is
appropriate.

Interference with law enforcement and/or emergency communications must
be corrected immediately. The operation of equipment covered by this
site plan shall not interfere with United States Government radio or
electronic operations already in existence. The user causing this
interference, shall, at its own expense, take all action necessary to
prevent or eliminate such interferences. If it does not eliminate such
interference within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from the BLM
to do so, this use will be terminated.

If electromagnetic noise becomes an issue, noise thresholds will be
established and this site plan will be amended accordingly.

## Cables and Transmission Line (Wave Guides) {#cables-and-transmission-line-wave-guides .unnumbered}

All new cabling will be jacketed and shielded and shall either be
flexible or semi-rigid type. Existing substandard cables will be
upgraded as repairs or replacement become necessary.

Cables will be properly installed and will be strapped and fastened
down. Use of ports at building entrance points will be kept to a minimum
by use of combiners.

When attaching cables onto a tower, conduits should be used and cable
runs should be equally divided among all tower legs.

All transmission lines (wave guides) are to be supported in accordance
with manufacturer's specifications.

Double shielded braided, or solid shielded cable will be used. No RG-8
type cable is permitted. No connector-type adapters will be used on
transmission lines. Only correct connectors that will mate to connected
devices are to be used.

Conduits will be shared when they service common areas and will be
buried where possible.

## Radiation {#radiation .unnumbered}

All communications uses must meet ANSI, FCC and BLM regulations,
guidelines and standards concerning radiation limitations.

Monitoring radiation levels at the site is the responsibility of all
site users and will occur at intervals to comply with FCC regulations
and guidelines. A copy of these monitoring reports will be provided to
the BLM upon request. The FCC is responsible for enforcement of the
monitoring and standardization for compliance. The FCC could revoke the
license and/or issue a fine for failure to comply. Additionally the BLM
could terminate or suspend the use authorization for failure to comply.

Onsite RFR measurements will be taken using appropriate equipment that
can adequately measure both on-tower and on the ground levels before
mitigation measures related to RFR are implemented pursuant to FCC
standards and requirements.

Security fences with RFR notice signs are required around areas that
exceed public use levels. Raising higher power transmitting antenna on
the tower or modifying the antenna type to half wavelength may be
necessary to eliminate RFR hazards. Reducing power may also be required
if other alternatives are not feasible. All fencing location and design
or new tower construction must be pre-approved by the BLM.

Warning signs will comply with ANSI C95.2 color, symbol, and content
conventions. Contact information including name and telephone number
will also be included on warning signs.

Lowering power levels for on-tower access during maintenance will be
coordinated between affected users.

Any identified RFR radiation problems that are, or could be, a human
health hazard must be corrected within 24 hours after measurement tests
have been completed or be removed from the site by the site user(s). If
the proposed corrective action involves any new ground disturbance, it
must be pre-approved by the BLM. RF Safety Plan(s) will be developed for
the site as determined necessary by the FCC or the BLM.

## Utilities-Availability of and Requirements for: {#utilities-availability-of-and-requirements-for .unnumbered}

[Commercial Electrical Power]{.underline}

No commercial power is provided to the site. The site is powered by

> County Health Department.

## Security and Law Enforcement  {#security-and-law-enforcement .unnumbered}

The Montrose County Sheriff's Department is the key law enforcement
agency for the area. They are responsible for most civil and criminal
matters. The BLM will be responsible for enforcing matters related to
uses of BLM lands (e.g. resource protection issues).

Patrolling and policing for security purposes is the user's
responsibility.

Fence gates and key access must be approved in advance by the BLM and
must be adequate for BLM and Montrose County Fire Department access
needs.

## Site Maintenance  {#site-maintenance .unnumbered}

The objective of maintenance activities is to present a clean, neat, and
orderly appearance at the site and have all of the authorized
improvements safe for workers and the public. All users will keep up the
overall appearance of the site.

Miscellaneous debris remaining after any construction and/or equipment
installation, removal or modification, is not only a hazard, but can
cause interference or intermodulation problems. In particular, all loose
wire or metal objects are to be removed from the site.

The users of the site will remove all graffiti within 10 working days of
finding it.

Users will not be permitted to leave or dispose of trash, garbage or cut
brush on public lands. No outside trash or litter containers will be
provided. Site users will remove litter from the site as it is produced.

Policing of litter in common areas (i.e. areas between buildings and
developed sites) is the shared responsibility of those holders bordering
these areas.

During construction and/or maintenance, excess materials (e.g. cement,
wire, metal, building materials) will be removed from public land.

Peeling paint on buildings and/or towers will be re-painted within
thirty (30) days of discovery by the facility owner or facility manager
and within 10 days of notification of the holder by the BLM.

## Inspections {#inspections .unnumbered}

## Construction Inspection {#construction-inspection .unnumbered}

1\. All new construction, reconstruction, or major modification shall
conform to the established technical standards and accepted engineering
practices (i.e., the Uniform Building Code).

2\. Any construction inspections required by other applicable agencies
are the responsibility of the lessee/holder. Copies of completed
inspections are to be provided to the Uncompahgre Field Office,
Authorized Officer, either as they occur or as part of the final
as-built plan. Inspection information shall become a permanent part of
the holder's lease/ROW case file.

3\. The Lessee/Holder agrees that corrective work detailed in BLM, or
other agency required compliance inspections, would be completed by the
scheduled completion date. If the Lessee/Holder disagrees or has
questions about specific items, the Lessee/Holder must contact the BLM
in order that the disagreement or item may be resolved.

4\. A final set of as-built plans will be submitted to the Uncompahgre
Field Office, Authorized Officer, within 90 days of acceptance of
structure (if contracted) or of completion date.

## New or Remodeled/Expanded Buildings {#new-or-remodeledexpanded-buildings .unnumbered}

1.  All new construction, reconstruction, and modifications to building
    will be pre-approved by the BLM prior to implementation.

2.  Any new buildings must be designed to accommodate multiple users
    along with fitting into the physical environment as defined in a
    site-specific environmental analysis developed at the time of the
    proposal. New buildings shall be constructed to meet Uniform
    Building Codes (UBC) and be fire resistant.

3.  Buildings are required to be one-story. The roof must be metal,
    covered with metal, concrete, or other fire resistant material.
    Roofs can be equipped with antenna support structures, such as poles
    and railings that can extend up to 25-feet above ground level.

4.  Facility Owners and Facility Managers are encouraged to construct
    the interior of their buildings in a modular fashion, so that they
    can:

> a\. Sublease sections to others;
>
> b\. Provide tenants and customers with internal separation and
> security;
>
> c\. Reduce physical interference; and
>
> d\. Increase management effectiveness.

5.  The following materials are approved for construction of new
    facilities (i.e. buildings). The use of other construction materials
    not listed would require review and approval by the BLM on a
    case-by-case basis.

#### a. Floors -- Concrete slab with drainage is preferred. {#a.-floors-concrete-slab-with-drainage-is-preferred. .unnumbered}

> b\. Walls -- Concrete block, metal or pre-fabricated concrete.
>
> c\. Roof -- Metal, or concrete, painted to eliminate shiny surfaces,
> or other fireproof material as approved by the BLM.
>
> d\. Partitions -- If partitions are necessary in buildings, ensure
> they are constructed with fire resistant material (e.g., concrete
> block, reinforced concrete, sheetrock, or properly grounded fencing).
>
> e\. Color -- Proposed color for use on all exterior building surfaces
> must be pre-approved by the BLM. The goal of the color selection for
> the facilities is to make the building as inconspicuous as possible
> and make buildings located on the skyline look inconspicuous when
> viewed from a distance. The intent is to reduce or eliminate glare
> from reflective and/or illuminated surfaces such as windowpanes,
> sheeting and reflective paints. Non-reflective, BLM approved colors
> will be used on equipment buildings.
>
> f\. Prefabricated building may be authorized with prior approval by
> the BLM.

6.  Building entry lights must:

> a\. Only light the immediate area in the vicinity of the door;
>
> b\. Be motion activated and have a limited time duration (e.g., 3-5
> minutes); and
>
> c\. Have a shielded beam that is pointed at the building door.
>
> Requests for all-night (i.e. "dusk-to-dawn") lighting, or entry
> lighting that would be visible from outside of the site will not be
> approved. FAA required lighting would be the only exception.

## New or Remodeled/Expanded Towers {#new-or-remodeledexpanded-towers .unnumbered}

1.  All new construction, reconstruction, and modifications to towers
    will be pre-approved by the BLM prior to implementation.

2.  It is the applicant/holder's responsibility to assure that a new, or
    modified, structure will not unduly interfere electronically or
    physically with any existing equipment at the site. Towers must be
    spaced, so as to prevent ground level radiation and/or interference
    problems. This must be clearly demonstrated in writing to the BLM
    prior to issuance of a new lease/ROW or amendment.

3.  All new towers will comply with current structural and safety
    specifications and design standards, including safety-climbing
    devices. Towers should be as narrow and "open" as safety and
    structural integrity allow. Towers must be designed to meet on site
    wind and icing conditions estimated to be 70 mph with 1 inch ice and
    otherwise meet the EIA/TIA-222 standards.
