## Terms and Definitions

The terms used in this communication site plan conform to the
definitions listed in the October 27, 1995, Federal Register notice "Fee
Schedule for Communications Uses on Public Lands" and clarifications
provided in Bureau of Land Management Handbook 2860-1. In the event of a
conflict, between the plan and these sources, the Federal Register
notice and the Bureau of Land Management Handbook will govern.

The words "lease" and "lessee" as used in this plan refer to the
relationship between the Bureau of Land Management and the
communications use leaseholder. The words "customer" and "tenant" refer
to the relationship between the lessee and the occupants in the lessee's
facilities.

LEASE -- An authorization issued to a communication facility owner or
facility manager, allowing for the use of Public Lands to construct and
or operate a communications facility and unless specifically prohibited,
to sublease to occupants in that facility.

LEASEHOLDER OR LESSEE -- Facility Owner/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 public land designated through the
land and resource management planning process. 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 Kimberly Peak Communications Site.

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

FACILITY OWNER -- Individual, commercial activities, organizations, or
agencies that, owns a communication facility on Federal land; own and
operate their own communications equipment; and hold a communication 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.

## Purpose

This plan is intended to be used by Bureau of Land Management officials,
administering communication uses at Kimberly Peak, existing lessees, and
applicants desiring a lease or a lease amendment. 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, the plan will
be amended by letter from the Assistant Field Manager, Nonrenewable
Resources (AFM) enclosing a copy of revised pages or sections. The
amendments will be consecutively numbered.

Overall management direction for the administration of communications
sites is outlined in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR's) and
the BLM Handbook and applicable. Specific direction for site management
planning on designated communications site is contained in BLM Handbook
2860-1. Primary regulations and policy pertaining to issuance of
special-use authorizations by the Bureau of Land Management are found in
Title 43, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Sections 2801- 2803 and BLM
Handbook 2860-1

The 1983 Egan Resource Area's Land and Resources Management Plan
currently does not specifically address communications uses. A
comprehensive district-wide RMP/EIS is scheduled to begin later in 2002
and 2003. This RMP will recognize and designate the Kimberly Peak
communications site for mixed low-power, non-broadcast and broadcast
uses. Primary management of the current site is to assure historical
two-way radio, point-to-point microwave, cellular, TV translators, and
low power broadcast.

No communications site plan has ever been prepared for this site. This
plan has technical standards for better management of the Kimberly Peak
communications site. This plan governs development and management of
Kimberly Peak 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 primary uses.

## Site Description

The site is located on a peak identified as Kimberly Peak which is
located in the Ely District approximately 16 air miles northwest of Ely,
Nevada in portions of Sections 27, T. 17 N., R. 61 E. MDM at
approximately 39º 18' 52" North Latitude and 115º 04' 19" West
Longitude. The elevation on top of the Kimberly Peak Communication Site
is approximately 9200 feet above mean sea level (msl). The site is
divided into three clusters of facilities. A site map is provided as
Appendix A.

## Area Served

This site primarily does not serve an RMA, Ranally Metro Area. The
largest community served is Ely, Nevada. The population of Ely as of the
2000 Census is 4,041. This information will be used for fee
determination.

## Access

Full public right of way access to Kimberly Peak is from US Highway 50,
about 10 miles west of Ely then 6.5 miles on a native material road.

## Site History and Development

Kimberly Peak and the surrounding area have been used for mining and
exploration for decades. The southern portion is on lands withdrawn for
USAF radar and communications purposes (NEV-45154). The buildings on
this site are currently not being utilized and are deteriorating. Plans
are being considered to maintain some of these structures and utilize
them. The saddle between the south and north peaks is utilized by Nevada
Bell for microwave relay since 1974. One additional small two-way radio
repeater grant issued to Ameslco Minerals (Amselco -\> Kennecott -\>
USMX -\> Placer Dome -\> WPEM) was authorized just south of the Nevada
Bell facility in the saddle in 1982. The Air Force also constructed
facilities on the north peak under a right-of-way grant in 1966. The BLM
added two-way radio repeater equipment to the north peak in 1972. The
remaining facilities have all been developed at the north Kimberly Peak
site. Other uses include on the North site include White Pine County,
Nevada Division of Lands, County Communications, Inc, two Cellular
telephone providers, and an National Public Radio FM station.

G.  **[Goals and Objectives of Site Management Plan]{.underline}**

1\. Kimberly Peak Site will be managed as a mixed broadcast and
non-broadcast communication site.

2\. Communication equipment on Kimberly Peak Site will be managed to
reduce the RF hazard to be within the Public Standard as defined by the
FCC.

3\. The site will be systematically developed 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 with
the site.

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

6\. Protect the interests of leaseholders and site users 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 Agency 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 Agency policy for authorizing road use and maintenance.

10\. Establish the framework for a User's Association, which could
provide recommendations to the BLM authorized officer when there are two
or more lessees.

11\. New facilities will be developed only after the appropriate site
specific NEPA analysis and coordination with current lease holders and
users. This future development must also be consistent with the Ely
District RMP when approved.

12\. This Communications Site Plan shall be amended as necessary to be
consistent with the Revised Ely District RMP when it is approved.

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

## Authority

Bureau of Land Management 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),
Sections 2801- 2803 and WO IB 98-23.

Bureau of Land Management authority for communications site management
planning is contained in Bureau of Land Management Handbook 2801-1, Plan
of Development. Direction on, and policy for communication use
authorizations is contained in Bureau of Land Management Manual (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 Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) and/or the National Telecommunication
and Information Administration -- Interagency Radio Advisory Committee
(NTIA/IRAC).

## Relationship to Communications Site Lease

This site plan will be incorporated into all leases issued for this
communications site and must be used in conjunction with the lease.
**PROVISIONS OF THE SITE PLAN ARE ENFORCED THROUGH THE LEASE.** Each
lessee is expected to include the requirements of the lease and the site
plan into any documents, which describe the business relationship
between the lessee and the lessee\'s tenants and customers. The lessee
is responsible for enforcing those provisions

    authorized area.

5.  Each Facility Owner and Facility Manager, or applicant for a new
    facility, will provide the Bureau of Land Management, 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.  Under the Facility Owner/Manager Lease or Special-Use Permit:

    a.  Facility Owners and Facility Managers are authorized to rent
        building/tower space to tenants and/or customers without prior
        written approval from the Bureau of Land Management.

    b.  Tenants and/or customers using a facility covered by a Facility
        Lease/special-use permit will not have separate Bureau of Land
        Management permits to authorize the use.

    c.  Facility Owners and Facility Managers are responsible for
        complying with the terms and conditions of the Facility Lease or
        their valid Special-Use Permit. Facility Owner/Managers are also
        responsible for ensuring that their tenants and customers are in
        compliance with the terms and conditions of the Lease or permit,
        and applicable FCC or NTIA/IRAC license terms and conditions.

    d.  The Facility Owner and Facility Manager may not place any
        unreasonable restrictions on tenants and/or customers, or
        potential tenants and/or customers.

7.  Facility Owners/Managers will ensure that all communications
    equipment is properly installed, operated, and maintained.

8.  Facility Owners/Managers will ensure that all communication
    equipment meets ANSI, FCC and Bureau of Land Management regulations,
    guidelines and standards concerning radiation limitations.

    a.  Monitoring radiation levels at their facility and;

    b.  Immediately correcting any radiation levels that are, or could
        be a hazard to human health.

9.  Each Facility Owner and Facility Manager must provide a certified
    copy of their use and the category of use 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 15^th^.

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

The responsibilities of the FCC and NTIA/IRAC are frequency management.
Correcting interference problems is the responsibility of the affected
licensees. 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.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| # AUTHORIZED USES AND USERS WITHIN A FACILITY                         |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

##  {#section .unnumbered}

## Exclusive Use of a Facility By a Single User

Several facilities currently have no tenants or customers. Unless
unexpected demand occurs, these facilities will be allowed to remain as
single users facilities at the Kimberly Peak Site.

## Use by Multiple Users

Use of new facilities and improvements by more than one user
[will]{.underline} [be]{.underline} required. Site applicants will take
the lead in this area and design their proposals to accommodate multiple
uses of facilities and improvements. This includes multiple use of
buildings, towers, solar generating systems, back-up generators,
grounding systems, fuel containers, access ways and parking areas.

Due to the limited development space at the site, new facilities, or
major modifications to existing facilities, must be designed to
accommodate additional users even if other users are, or could be,
competitors.

Clustering and consolidating of uses is required for multiple uses
wherever feasible. Examples would be locating all solar panels, fuel
tanks, and/or battery storage vaults in a single area, or co-locating
these improvements as close together as possible.

Facility Owners and Facility Managers are not required to lease facility
space to others if they can prove to the authorized Bureau of Land
Management 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 Bureau of Land Management will charge Facility Owners and Facility
Managers annual 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 Lands. Since this site is not within an
established RMA, Ranally Metro Area, the population zone of less than
25,000 will be used for these calculations unless specifically agreed by
the authorizing officer.

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

> 1\. Reasonable and commensurate with the uses and occupancy of the
> facilities and services provided to tenants and "customers" and

2.  Consistent with, and not in excess of, other fees for similar
    facilities.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| # General Operation and Maintenance Direction                         |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

## Unique Resource Considerations at this Communication Site

1.  There are no currently identified special resource coordination
    considerations with on-site or adjacent resource values. Should
    special conditions arise through the RMP/EIS process, this plan will
    be amended accordingly.

## Wiring and Grounding 

> 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 estate codes. All permanent wiring
> shall be installed in metallic conduit. Surge protection shall be
> installed on all power distribution panels.
>
> 3\. Every effort will be made to protect the equipment from lightning
> damage. Lightning protectors should be used on all coaxial cable
> connection to equipment enclosures. Gas gap and MOV protectors should
> be used on all control/audio and power lines.
>
> 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 encouraged.
>
> 5\. Grounding shall be installed in accordance with accepted practices
> and standards such as the Bell Standards. Grounding using bentonitic
> clays is currently the only approved method for chemical grounding.
> Other types of chemical grounding will require completion of NEPA
> documentation by the applicant prior to consideration for approval by
> the AFM.

## Communications Equipment 

[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}

All transmitters will have protective devices, designed into or
externally installed, to prevent interference to other users. All
transmitters will meet FCC licensing requirements.

The 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).

The direct radiation of out-of-band emissions (i.e. noise or spurious
harmonics) will 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)). If site noise (electromagnetic noise)
becomes an issue, noise threshold limits will be established, and
amended into the Site Plan.

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}

A bandpass device (cavity, crystal filter, etc.) is recommended at the
input of all receiving devices. Cavity filters, or other protective
device, may be used at receiver inputs to reduce interference.

Where duplexing is used, use of the notch type device should be avoided.
In situations where a notch type device is used, a bandpass filter must
be used with the transmitter.

[Tower]{.underline}

1.  Generally only one tower is authorized for each facility owner.
    Facility Owners and Facility Managers may obtain permission to
    construct the second tower only after submitting evidence that
    demonstrates that their existing tower(s) is/are 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 Bureau of Land Management will
    approve only non-reflective colors from the Munsell Soil Color
    Chart, Standard Environmental Colors. The exception is when the FCC
    requires red/white striping.

3.  No lights beacons or strobes will be allowed on towers (including
    antennas) less than 200 feet high.

[Antennas]{.underline}

1.  Whenever, the maximum antenna/tower height will be less than 200
    feet.

2.  Microwave (dish) antennas (other than ground mounted satellite
    dishes) will be limited to a maximum of ten (10) feet in diameter.
    Smallest diameter dishes are preferred if technically feasible.

3.  All antennas must meet all OSHA safety standards. If an antenna
    exceeds FCC public or occupations standards, 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 RFR levels will be taken before
    mitigation measures are implemented.

4.  Color(s) for dish antennas, or covers, must be pre-approved by the
    Bureau of Land Management. White dish antennas and/or covers will
    not be approved. Existing white dishes and covers must be repainted
    or replaced as repairs or replacement become necessary.

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

6.  High-powered omni-broadcast antennas placed on tapered towers will
    be placed with the least face width feasible.

7.  Low-powered transmit and receive antennas will be located close to
    the ground.

[Interference]{.underline}

The responsibility for correcting interference problems is a matter for
resolution between the permit/lease holder of the facility(ies), the
user causing the interference, and the affected party(ies). Generally,
the first users on a site have seniority with respect to the resolution
of interference complaints. Senior holders have an obligation to
maintain their equipment to industry standards, to operate their systems
in accordance with the terms of both the FCC license and NTIA/IRAC
frequency authorization, and to comply with the Bureau of Land
Management authorization. New users on a site must correct, at their
expense, interference problems that they create. 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.

The Bureau of Land Management does not have authority for correcting
interference problems, but can act as a mediator to help all affected
parties. Interference problems should 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 Sates Government radio or
electronic operations already in existence on public land within two (2)
miles of the site to which this authorization refers. 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
Bureau of Land Management to do so, this use will be terminated.

If electromagnetic noise becomes an issue, noise thresholds will be
established and amended to this Plan.

## Cables and Transmission Line (Wave Guides)

All new cabling will be jacketed and shielded and shall either be
flexible or semi-rigid type (with the exception of rigid wave guide and
rigid transmission line for high power TV broadcasters). 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

All communications uses must meet ANSI, FCC and Bureau of Land
Management 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 the monitoring report will be provided to the
Bureau of Land Management within 30 days of its completion.

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.

Security fences with RFR notice signs are required around areas that
exceed public use levels. Raising higher power transmitting antenna on
the tower or adding a taller tower 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 Bureau of Land Management. On the North site
single facility fencing will not be permitted. If fencing is determined
to be necessary, a single perimeter fence with a single access gate must
be designed and maintained to serve the entire peak.

Warning signs will be in English and Spanish and 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 effected 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.

## Utilities-Availability of and Requirements for:

[Commercial Electrical Power]{.underline}

Commercial power is provided to the site under permit to Mt Wheeler
Power. The distribution line and portions of the service drops are
aerial. Future service drops or modifications will be buried.

[Telephone Service]{.underline}

There is no hardwire service provided to this site.

If this service is every deemed necessary, site users will pay for the
cost of:

1.  The necessary resource surveys and reports for service connections;
    and

2.  The cost of constructing service connections.

For visual reasons, overhead utility poles may not be authorized.

[Fuel Tanks]{.underline}

All facility owners are responsible for providing fuel storage (propane
and diesel) and emergency power for their tenants. No tenants will be
authorized to have separate fuel tanks and/or generators. Each facility
owner will preferably consolidate fuel storage into a tank large enough
in size to accommodate all tenants. At a minimum, tanks will be grouped
together in a consolidated area adjacent to their facilities. All fuel,
storage tanks (e.g. LPG, propane and diesel) must meet current fire
department, Federal, State and County safety and hazardous materials
requirements.

1.  All tanks will be:

> a\. Signed in red letters, "SMOKING OR OPEN FLAME PROHIBITED WITHIN 20
> FEET";
>
> b\. In conformance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
> requirements; and,
>
> c\. Painted an approved color, or screened by an enclosure to blend in
> with the natural environment. If an enclosure is used, it must be
> pre-approved and painted an approved color from the Munsell Soil Color
> Chart, Standard Environmental Colors.
>
> 2\. Diesel tanks will also be:

## Sanitary Facilities

> 1\. Plans for any new sanitary facilities must be pre-approved by the
> Bureau of Land Management. If it is determined by the Bureau of Land
> Management that the users need such facilities, they will be provided
> by the applicant/holder in a manner and location satisfactory to the
> Bureau of Land Management and within the requirements of the County
> Health Department.

## Security And Law Enforcement 

The County Sheriff's Department is the key law enforcement agency for
the area. They are responsible for most civil and criminal matters. The
Bureau of Land Management 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 holder's
responsibility. If holders desire to have the protection of extra
fencing, Bureau of Land Management approval must be obtained first. To
reduce visual clutter and efficiently utilize existing space, fencing
groups of buildings will be encouraged.

No gates are currently on the access road. If fencing is deemed
necessary, the location of the fence and gates must be approved in
advance by the BLM and must be adequate for Bureau of Land Management
and County Fire Department access needs.

[Fencing]{.underline}

> 1\. All fences must meet health and safety requirements.
>
> 2\. All fence locations and design require Bureau of Land Management
> pre-approval. The standard fencing type will be chain-link (i.e.
> cyclone)
>
> 3\. The standard fence height will be eight (8) feet.
>
> 4\. Fencing will be designed and of a type to minimize interference
> issues.
>
> 5\. Fences will be signed with RFR notices if RFR is above public
> levels.
>
> 6\. All cyclone-type fencing materials will be galvanized.

## Site Maintenance 

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. If graffiti is on natural features (e.g. rocks), the
graffiti will be removed in a method approved by the Bureau of Land
Management.

Holders will not be permitted to leave or dispose of trash, garbage or
cut brush on BLM administered lands. No outside trash or litter
containers will be provided. Site users (i.e. holders) 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, paintbrushes will not be cleaned
off on the rocks around the site and excess materials (e.g. cement) will
be removed from BLM administered land.

Peeling paint on buildings and/or towers will be re-painted within
thirty (30) days of discovery.

## Inspections

Unless waived in writing by the Bureau of Land Management, the holder is
to provide, annually, a certified inspection of the facilities and
equipment covered by the authorization. The inspection will include
technical review that should assure that authorized equipment is
operating within the specifics of this Site Plan, the FCC authorization,
ANSI Standards, and the manufacturer's specifications. In addition, the
inspection should assure that the authorized equipment is secure, free
of rust, properly grounded, and otherwise properly operated and
maintained. This inspection should also review general good
\"housekeeping\". A copy of the inspection report, certified by a
telecommunication specialist, is to be provided to the Bureau of Land
Management within 30-days of completion. Appendix D provides an example
of the inspection checklist.

The Bureau of Land Management may also conduct periodic reviews to
monitor for authorization compliance.

## Fire Prevention and Hazard Reduction Requirements 

Facility owners and managers will be required to maintain to mineral
soil, a minimum of (30) feet clearance around their buildings and a
minimum of then (10) feet clearance around any propane tanks. Identified
threatened, endangered, or sensitive plant species must remain within
the minimum clearance areas.

Smoking is prohibited while walking in flammable vegetation.

The roof structure shall be kept reasonably clear of leaves, twigs, and
other debris at all times.

No explosive will be stored at this site. Flammable materials shall be
stored in conformance with the requirements of local fire regulations.
Flammables will be placed in closed containers and stored away from
sources of ignition and combustible materials. If flammables are stored
within a building, the building will be locked, properly signed and well
ventilated.

Maintain approved spark arresters on all internal combustion engines.

At least one (1) U.L. rated 4 B:C dye chemical fire extinguisher is
required inside each building. Prior to each June, fire extinguisher(s)
shall be inspected and refilled, if necessary.

Any fire will be immediately reported to "911", the nearest Bureau of
Land Management Station or County Sheriff.

Bureau of Land Management Officers will make periodic fire prevention
inspections. They will call to your attention any lack of compliance
with the above regulations, plus any other existing hazards. Compliance
with these inspections is required within the time limits specified.

## Access Maintenance and Restrictions

[Roads]{.underline}

The primary access road is all on public lands on a graded road from US
Highway 50 approximately 10 miles west of Ely. The last 6.5 miles has
guard rails on the upper portion which were originally constructed when
the site was actively utilized by the Air Force. The entire road is on
public lands administered by the BLM. A road maintenance agreement with
appropriate blading, drainage and water bar maintenance standards will
be developed between the BLM and site users.

Holders who damage or disturb the access road, or any associated
structures, such as ditches, culverts, roadside vegetation, signs and/or
underground utilities or facilities, will be required to repair the road
to conditions equal to or superior to those prior to any damage or
disturbance.

[Interior Site Driveways/ Parking Areas]{.underline}

Roads within the communications site will be the responsibility of the
site users. Interior roads will be planned and approved during
establishment of new facilities. Interior roads will be maintained in a
manner to allow only one entrance to the site. The intent is to
discourage off-road vehicle use in and around the site.

[Road Closures]{.underline}

Roads on public land are subject to periodic closures to entry during
periods of extreme fire danger, inclement weather, or wet roads.
Authorized site users may use the site during these general closures, if
advance approval is obtained from the Bureau of Land Management.

> Bureau of Land Management prior to construction. In addition:

a\. Directional broadcast antennas (e.g. translators) will only be
protected within the arch between their licensed 3 dB point.

b\. New and/or modified facilities will not obstruct existing fixed
point-to-point antennas or omni-directional broadcast antennas in
directions of primary population targets.

## Construction Methods and Resource Protection

Plans submitted by an applicant for any new construction or
modifications shall specify provisions for soil rehabilitation measures
including, but not limited to, soil replacement and stabilization and
for proper handling of runoff from buildings, parking area, access
roads, and undeveloped common areas.

During construction, the following methods and resource protection
measures will be required to minimize impacts:

> 1\. Identify, avoid and protect sensitive resource area, as identified
> by the Bureau of Land Management.
>
> 2\. Compliance with the Erosion Control Plan.
>
> 3\. During construction and/or maintenance, paintbrushes will not be
> cleaned off on rocks around site and no marks of any kind (including
> survey) marks will be permitted on rocks.
>
> 4\. Minimize ground disturbance and vegetation removal as much as
> possible during construction activities. All ground-disturbing
> activities require Bureau of Land Management pre-approval.
>
> 5\. Any extensive cut and fill slopes will be re-vegetated with native
> vegetation as soon as possible after construction. All re-vegetation
> requires Bureau of Land Management pre-approval for possible NEPA
> evaluation and seed mixture type.

> 7\. Temporary, on-site storage of construction materials will require
> pre-approval by the Bureau of Land Management.
>
> 8\. Construction materials and supplies, except for hazardous
> materials (see number 10. below) may be left unattended at the
> construction site at the end of each workday, but at the owner's risk.
>
> 9\. Hazardous materials, including, but not limited to all fuels,
> oils, and lubricants are not to be left unattended at the site at any
> time. During construction, these materials are to be removed from the
> site at the end of each workday, or temporarily stored inside a locked
> and signed building until the following workday.
>
> 10\. All surplus construction materials and/or waste debris must be
> removed from the site no later than thirty (30) days after
> construction has been completed.
>
> 11\. Any earth moving or heavy equipment (e.g. dozers, graders,
> cranes, backhoes, etc.) leaving the designated roadway and/or approved
> parking area(s) to perform authorized activities at the site, will be
> washed off prior to being brought onto public lands to prevent the
> introduction and spread of noxious weeds into the area.

## Construction Inspection

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 holder. Copies of completed inspections
are to be provided to the Area Manager, either as they occur or as part
of the final as built plan. Inspection information shall become a
permanent part of the proponent's special-use file.

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

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

## New or Remodeled/Expanded Buildings

1.  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.

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

3.  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.

4.  The following materials are approved for construction of new
    facilities (i.e. buildings)

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

> b\. Walls -- Concrete block, metal or pre-fabricated concrete.
>
> c\. Roof -- Metal, or concrete, if painted to eliminate shiny
> surfaces, or other fireproof material as approved by the Bureau of
> Land Management. Proposals for wooden roofs will not be approved.
>
> d\. Partitions -- If it is felt partitions are necessary in buildings,
> ensure they are constructed with fire resistant material (e.g.,
> concrete block, reinforced concrete, or properly grounded expanded
> metal.
>
> e\. Color -- Proposed color for use on all exterior building surfaces
> must be pre-approved by the Bureau of Land Management. 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,
> Bureau of Land Management approved earth tone colors will be used on
> equipment buildings; refer to the Munsell Soil Color Chart, Standard
> Environmental Colors

5.  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.

## New or Remodeled/Expanded Towers

1.  All new construction, reconstruction, and modifications to towers
    will be pre-approved by the Bureau of Land Management 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 Bureau
    of Land Management prior to issuance of a lease, permit, 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. New towers should be designed using
    maximum wind, snow, and/or tower loading anticipated for the site.

4.  All towers greater than 100-feet in height will be tapered to
    minimize visual concerns.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
| # SITE ASSOCIATION/ADVISORY GROUP                                     |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

A Site Users' Association may be desirable at this site. If formed for
the Kimberly Peak Communication Site in the future, it would be
responsible for participation in an access road maintenance agreement,
maintenance and upkeep of internal roads and parking areas. The Site
Association will also be responsible for ensuring cooperation between
users for on-tower access. A Site Safety officer would be identified
within the Site Association. The Site Association would be expected to
develop an RFR Plan/Agreement and recommend measures to reduce
interference issues (e.g., through use of filters).

The goal of the Site Association will also be to maximize the effective
use of the site. The objective of a sanctioned association will be to
represent all site users as a group when dealing with the Ely Resource
Area on matters relating to the Site administration. The association
will be able to work in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management
to identify problems or opportunities and make recommendations to the
Bureau of Land Management for any changes in management strategies at
the site. The association could also provide input to the Bureau of Land
Management regarding the future addition of equipment and facilities at
the site. While the advice and recommendations of the association would
not be binding on the Bureau of Land Management, the Bureau of Land
Management could use the input for administration of the site. The
Bureau of Land Management would be a member of such a group and would
help jointly develop the charter (i.e., the ground rules).

In absence of a formal Site Association, the Bureau of Land Management
may utilize a Site Advisory Group that can make suggestions and/or
recommendations to specific problems associated with the administration
of the site.
