## Terms and Definitions

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",
with further clarification 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, LEASE HOLDER, OR ROW HOLDER -- A Facility Owner or Facility
Manager

CUSTOMER -- A facility occupant who is paying a facility manager,
facility owner, or tenant for using all or any part of the space in the
facility, or for communication services, and is not selling
communication services or broadcasting to others.

TENANT -- A facility occupant who is paying a facility manager, facility
owner, or other entity for occupying and using all or part of a
facility. A tenant operates communication equipment in the facility for
profit by broadcasting to others or selling communication services.

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 Twin Mountain Communications Site.

FACILITY -- The building, tower, and related incidental structures or
improvements authorized under the terms of the grant or lease.

FACILITY MANAGER -- The holder of a BLM communications use authorization
who leases space for other communication users. A facility manager does
not own or operate communications equipment in the facility for personal
or commercial purposes.

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. Facility owners may or may not lease space in the
facility to other communications users.

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 (43
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.

SENIOR USE -- Any use whose implementation date is prior to the
implementation date of the use in question.

RANALLY METRO AREA (RMA) -- A series of nine population zone areas, the
highest of which is greater than 5 million and the lowest being 25,000
or less. These zones are determined annually and published in the
Ranally Metro Area Population Ranking, an independent publication from
Rand McNally, and are used in rent determination.

## Purpose

This plan will be used by BLM officials administering communications
uses at Twin 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 an
administrative revision is necessary (such as the addition of a user), a
letter to the holders from the Royal Gorge Field Office enclosing a copy
of revised pages or sections will be used to amend the plan. The
amendments will be consecutively numbered. Other proposed revisions to
the plan will be circulated to holders for comment prior to
implementation.

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
authorizations by the BLM are found in Title 43 CFR Sections 2801- 2808
and BLM Handbook 2860-1.

The Royal Gorge Resource Management Plan (approved May 5, 1996 as
amended in 2001) sets out standards for the location of communications
site rights-of-way. Three conditions for proposed sites apply: 1) within
exclusion areas (Wilderness Study Areas, raptor nesting/fledging areas,
special status plants and animals, and National Register of Historic
sites) sites will not be authorized, 2) within avoidance areas (big game
birthing areas, big game critical winter habitat, Visual Resource
Management Class I and II areas within Areas of Critical environmental
Concern, and developed recreation areas) sites will be avoided unless
those concerns can be adequately mitigated, and 3) within the remaining
open areas sites will be considered on a case by case basis. Preference
shall be given to co-locating facilities over establishing new sites.

This Site Management Plan provides applicable guidance and adds current
policy and technical standards for better management of the Twin
Mountain Communications Site. This plan governs development and
management of Twin 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 Section A above. This site-specific
plan is administrative in nature and is Categorically Excluded from
further review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in
accordance with 516.DM 2, Appendix 1, item 1.10, which states " --
Policies, directives, regulations, and guidelines that are of an
administrative, financial, legal, technical, or procedural in nature and
whose environmental effects are too broad, speculative, or conjectural
to lend themselves to meaningful analysis and will later be subject to
the NEPA process, either collectively or case-by-case". Any additional
development of Twin Mountain will be addressed in a site-specific NEPA
document.

## Site Description

The site is located approximately 6.4 miles northwest of Canon City, CO.
It is on Twin Mountain, a prominent landmark in the area. The area is
managed by the Royal Gorge Field Office. It is specifically located in
section 2, T. 18 S., R. 71 W., 6^th^ Prime Meridian, Fremont County,
Colorado at approximately 38º 50' 55.3" North Latitude and 105º 18' 26"
West Longitude. The elevation at the Twin Mountain Communications Site
is approximately 7,800 feet above mean sea level. A site map is provided
as Appendix A.

## Area Served

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

## Access

From Canon City, travel approximately 7.6 miles west on US Highway 50 to
an unpaved road heading north. The unpaved road is adjacent to a
commercial rafting company on the north side of the highway. Once on
this unpaved road, travel approximately 3.7 miles north to the Twin
Mountain communications site, which is visible from US Highway 50.

## Site History and Development

There are currently three communications facilities at Twin Mountain. On
April 4, 1962 the State of Colorado Administration Dept. (now the Dept.
of Information Technology) was issued an authorization to use Twin
Mountain as part of their statewide communications network under BLM
serial number COC-71616. Their original authorization was converted to a
lease in 2001.

Union Pacific Railroad was issued a grant to use Twin Mountain for their
internal radio network on March 23, 1972 under BLM serial number
COC-3928.

On August 30, 1979, Singleton Communications was issued an authorization
to construct a facility on Twin Mountain under serial number COC-27939.
That authorization was assigned to SBA in 1999, from SBA to AAT
Communications in 2003, and to SBA Structures in 2007.

Celludyne was issued an authorization to use Twin Mountain as a cellular
site on December 3, 1990 under serial number COC-51307. Their grant was
assigned to WWC Holdings in 1998, and from WWC Holdings to Alltel
Communications at a later date. Their operation is in the SBA Structures
building.

Fremont County was issued an authorization to use Twin Mountain as a
PMRS site on February 1, 1991 under serial number COC-51312. Their
operation is in the State of Colorado DOIT building.

Any modifications to existing facilities or proposals for new facilities
must be approved by the Royal Gorge Field Office according to the
appropriate NEPA process and guidance described in this document.

The site currently appears to be relatively clean from interference,
receiver sensitivity, and noise. If additional new uses deteriorate the
receiving/transmitting operation of the existing uses, the new uses may
be required to institute additional studies, equipment upgrades,
frequency isolation, or physically separate from the existing uses. This
may be particularly required if they are continuously transmitting in
nature, or if there is an increase in transmitter power from
communications uses on private land.

## Goals and Objectives of Site Management Plan

1\. Designate uses on the site. This site is to be used for low power
communications uses only. The maximum power output expressed as ERP for
the Twin Mountain Communications Site is based on the maximum output
allowed for two-way radio under the Federal Communications Commission's
rules at Title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 90. As of the 2003
regulation, that is 500 watts ERP. Each use must operate at or below the
power level authorized by their respective FCC license as long as it
does not exceed the site limitation. This power limitation does not
preclude existing and new uses from being designed, operated and
maintained to meet other interference, noise floor, receive sensitivity,
or RFR standards included in this plan.

2\. Manage communication equipment on the Twin Mountain site to maintain
the radio frequency (RF) hazard to be within the Public Standard 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\. Help fulfill the public need for adequate communications sites.

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

6\. Encourage the efficient development and use of space and facilities
within the designated site.

7\. 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.

8\. Describe the BLM's policy for road maintenance. The access road to
the site is designated as a BLM road maintenance level 2 -- Open road
with limited administrative traffic only. Usually a high clearance
vehicle is required. Drainage structures are inspected every 3 years and
maintenance actions taken as needed. Grading is conducted as needed to
allow administrative access. Slides may be left in place provided they
do not adversely affect drainage.

9\. Develop new facilities only after appropriate site-specific NEPA
analysis and coordination with current lease or ROW holders and users.
Any future development must be consistent with the Royal Gorge RMP and
this plan.

10\. Amend this Communications Site Plan as necessary to be consistent
with future RMPs. BLM will provide authorization holders with proposed
amendments to this plan and will allow a reasonable period of time for
the holders to review and comment on the proposed changes.

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

## Authority

The authority used by BLM to authorize communications uses on public
land (administered by the BLM) is 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- 2808 and
various BLM Washington Office Information Bulletins and Instruction
Memoranda.

BLM authority for communications site management planning is contained
in BLM Handbook 2801-1, Plan of Development. 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
THIS SITE PLAN ARE ENFORCED THROUGH THE GRANTING AUTHORIZATION (LEASE OR
ROW GRANT).** Each lessee or holder is expected to include the
requirements of the authorization and this site plan into any documents,
which describe the business relationship between the lessee and their
tenants and customers. The lessee or holder is responsible for enforcing
those provisions.

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

## The Bureau of Land Management 

The Bureau of Land Management retains the responsibility for issuing and
amending authorizing instruments to Facility Owners and Facility
Managers, only for the areas actually occupied by the authorized
improvements. The issuance of a FCC license (authorization), or
frequency assignment, does not authorize occupancy of public land.
Granting occupancy and use of public land rests exclusively with the
BLM. This includes:

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

2.  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.

3.  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.

4.  Frequency Management. Unless determined otherwise by the BLM
    Authorized Officer, BLM is not responsible for the resolution of
    conflicts when the licensees or agencies are operating within the
    limits of the FCC and NTIA/IRAC authorizations.

## Facility Owners and Facility Managers

Facility owners and facility managers (or their designated
representatives) are responsible for:

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 Royal Gorge Field Office land use 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 within one
    year of the approval of this plan. 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.  Providing 30-day notice to all facility owners/facility managers at
    the site, as well as the BLM, of all new frequencies proposed for
    the site. A completed BLM technical data sheet or equivalent must be
    sent with the 30-day notice to allow for comment of potential
    interference. This notification requirement applies to new
    frequencies for facility owners/facility managers as well as their
    tenants and customers

7.  Adhering to the lease/ROW grant as follows:

    a.  Facility Owners and Facility Managers with Communications Use
        Leases 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, generator pad, cabinet, etc.) or
        antenna support structure (tower or mast). The facility owner
        must own all communication shelters and towers under their lease
        or grant. \[If that is not possible, a separate SF-299
        application, cost-recovery fees, analysis, and authorization are
        required. This may also result in the use being a
        tenant/customer of the original lease/ROW in addition to being a
        separate facility for billing purposes.\]

    c.  Tenants and/or customers using a facility covered by a Facility
        lease/ROW will not have separate BLM leases/ROWs to authorize
        their 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.

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

9.  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.

10. 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.

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

12. Placing the BLM lease/ROW serial number on the door of their
    communications site building, or on a gate if a fenced compound.

13. Correcting all interference problems. Unless otherwise determined by
    the BLM Authorized Officer, the users are responsible for the
    resolution of conflicts when the licensees or agencies are operating
    within the limits of the FCC and NTIA/IRAC authorizations.

## FCC and NTIA/IRAC

The FCC and NTIA/IRAC are responsible for 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.

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

## 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 pursuant to federal regulations contained in 43 CFR 2806. The fees
are based on two factors- the type of communications use, and the
population served by the use. These fees are considered fair market
value for the use of public land. The population Zone 9 (less than
25,000) 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

There are no currently identified special resource coordination
considerations with on-site or adjacent resource values. Should special
conditions arise through the revision process of the land use plan or
other situations, this site plan will be amended accordingly.

## Wiring and Grounding 

> 1\. All equipment is to be installed within existing buildings and in
> metal equipment racks or within metal equipment cabinets and in
> accordance with manufacturers' specifications. All equipment, racks,
> cabinets and overhead ladder trays are to be grounded and shielded in
> compliance with National Electrical Code (NEC) and in accordance with
> accepted industry standards as described in the Motorola R56 Standards
> and Guidelines handbook.
>
> 2\. All electrical wiring and grounding must meet the NEC and
> applicable State/local codes. All permanent wiring shall be installed
> in metallic conduit. Surge protection shall be installed between the
> electric service meter and the first power distribution panel.
>
> 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. 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, Burndy, 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 

[Equipment Ownership]{.underline}

All equipment shall be labeled (or the information available at the
site, as applicable) 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 (shields, filters,
isolation components), designed into or externally installed, to prevent
interference with other users. All transmitters will meet FCC licensing
requirements. Two-way transmitters should have dual section isolators
for a total of 60 db of isolation.

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, prior to authorizing any new uses.

Direct radiation of out-of-bound emissions, (i.e. transmitter wide band
noise, spurious emissions, harmonics, etc.) shall be reduced to a
noninterference level 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.

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 may be required to prevent receiver-produced
intermodulation or adjacent-channel interference.

Where duplexing is used, a bandpass cavity duplexer is required. Use of
the notch-type device is not permitted. Where notch-type devices are
currently in place and there are no interference problems, their use may
continue until the equipment is replaced, at which time they must be
replaced with bandpass devices.

[Tower]{.underline}

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 is completely filled and full use has been made of
combining systems.

1.  All towers will be left unpainted, if they are dull, galvanized
    steel. Paint is required only if the tower has a shiny (i.e.,
    reflective) surface. If paint is required, the BLM will approve only
    non-reflective colors from the Munsell Soil Color Chart, Standard
    Environmental Colors or the equivalent.

2.  Maximum tower height for future towers at this site is 100 feet.

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

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

5.  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 the following website:
    [*http://migratorybirds.fws.gov/issues/towers/comtow.html*](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 eight (8) feet in diameter.
    The smallest diameter dishes are preferred if technically feasible.

2.  Dishes should be mounted as low as possible to reduce visual
    impacts.

3.  All antennas must meet all OSHA safety standards. If an antenna
    exceeds FCC public or occupational radiation standards (see FCC OET
    Bulletin 57), it will be remedied within 24 hours after measurements
    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.

4.  Color(s) for dish antennas, or covers, must be pre-approved by the
    BLM. New white dish antennas and/or covers will not be approved.
    Existing white dishes and covers must be repainted or replaced with
    dishes of approved color (typically dark grey), as repairs or
    replacement become necessary.

5.  Antennas will be purchased with or treated to have a non-reflective
    surface.

[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. 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 BLM authorization.

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 must 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, if one is
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 on public land within two (2)
miles of this site. 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)

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 power cables onto a tower, conduits should be used. Coax
and wave guides should be installed in a wave guide ladder or equally
divided among all tower legs.

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

Unjacketed transmission line of any type is prohibited. No transmission
line shall be left unterminated.

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 BLM regulations
guidelines and standards concerning radiation limitations. This site is
considered uncontrolled for the purposes of compliance with RFR
standards.

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 and record 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 including anchor points outside the primary
facility compound fence, if necessary. 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. Existing warning signs compliant
with FCC 47 CFR 1.1307(b) which do not currently include name and
telephone number will be accepted as long as the name and telephone
number is clearly posted on other signage at the Lessee's site.

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.

## Utilities-Availability of and Requirements for:

[Commercial Electrical Power]{.underline}

Commercial power is provided to the site under a separate ROW grant to
Aguila Power Company. The current electrical service to the site has the
capacity to service additional users at the site. Future upgrades of the
electrical service will be part of the right-of-way to Aquila Power Co.
and may need to be paid for by the benefiting user(s).

[Telephone Service]{.underline}

Commercial telephone lines do not serve this site.

If additional service is ever deemed necessary, a separate ROW grant
will be issued. Site users will also 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}

Facility owners and facility managers are responsible for providing fuel
storage (propane and diesel) and emergency power for their tenants and
customers. No tenants or customers 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 and customers within their facility. 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 local government safety
and hazardous materials requirements. Propane is the preferred fuel for
future generators.

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:
>
> a\. Enclosed in BLM and fire department approved secondary containment
> vaults that are painted a BLM approved color from the Munsell Soil
> Color Chart, Standard Environmental Colors.
>
> b\. Constructed with underground fuel lines. Fuel line must be
> constructed of black, treated pipe and fittings, and must be posted.
>
> c\. A containment basin must be maintained below all diesel tanks
> which are not designed and approved to be self contained.

## Sanitary Facilities

Plans for any sanitary facilities must be pre-approved by the BLM. If it
is determined by the BLM that the users need such facilities, they will
be provided by the lease/ROW holder in a manner and location
satisfactory to the BLM and within the requirements of the Fremont
County Health Department.

## Security and Law Enforcement 

The Fremont 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.

None of the facilities on Twin Mountain are currently fenced. If fencing
is ever deemed necessary for security purposes at other facilities on
the site, it must meet the following criteria:

> 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, maintained, and of a type to minimize
> interference issues.
>
> 5\. Fences will be signed with RFR notices if RFR is above public
> levels.

## 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, weather permitting.

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, weather
permitting.

The Lessee is responsible for the abatement and control of noxious weeds
within the bounds of their lease site and common use areas. Abatement
practices are to be implemented in accordance with the Royal Gorge Field
Office weed abatement programs.

## Inspections

Enforcement authority is vested in the BLM as the Communications Site
Administrator for Twin Mountain via 43 CFR 2800. The BLM may conduct an
annual inspection of each user's facility. This inspection will verify:

1.  Compliance with technical standards.

2.  Structural integrity.

3.  As-built plan accuracy.

4.  Electromagnetic compatibility.

5.  General site health, safety, and cleanliness.

The BLM shall provide written notice of the scheduled inspection date at
least 30 days in advance. Each user shall arrange to have personnel
available at the site at the time of the inspection.

Any non-compliance found by a user shall be reported to the BLM. The BLM
will conduct an inspection and a written copy of the inspection report
shall be forwarded to the violating user within 30 working days
following the inspection. The report shall include:

1.  A description of the violation.

2.  Corrective action required.

3.  Name, address, and organization of the responsible party.

4.  Time allowed for completion of corrective measures.

5.  Anticipated action in the event of noncompliance with remedial
    instructions.

## Fire Prevention and Hazard Reduction Requirements 

Facility owners and facility managers will be required to control
vegetation within the fenced area around their facilities. Gravel or
mineral soil (i.e. bare ground) must be maintained to a minimum of (10)
feet clearance around buildings and a minimum of (10) feet clearance
around any propane tanks. For fire protection, a greater distance may be
necessary. Typically, two times the height of the fuel surrounding the
structure should be cleared to provide fire protection.

Smoking is prohibited in flammable vegetation areas.

Roof structures shall be kept reasonably clear of debris at all times.

No explosives 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.

Approved spark arresters will be required and maintained on all internal
combustion engines.

At least one (1) U.L. rated 20 lb. A:B:C dry chemical fire extinguisher
is required inside each building. Prior to each June, fire
extinguisher(s) shall be inspected by holders and refilled, if
necessary.

Any fire will be immediately reported to "911", the nearest BLM office
and/or Fremont County Sheriff.

BLM Officers will make periodic fire prevention inspections. They will
call to the holder's 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 in the
inspection report.

All fire protection standards must be accomplished by the beginning of
fire season unless otherwise agreed to, and then maintained throughout
the fire season.

For new construction, the Bureau of Land Management will provide the
Holder with a separate Construction Fire Plan which will be prepared at
that time as applicable

## Access Maintenance and Restrictions

[Roads]{.underline}

Once off the State Highway, the road to the Twin Mountains site is in
generally poor condition due primarily to the steep topography. The road
is very rocky and has few drainage features. Normally, the road
condition in the arid climate is not a problem. However, it is certain
that future use of the site will, over time, degrade the quality of the
road and will require maintenance. If a user association is formed on
Twin Mountains, the costs of road maintenance will be assessed by the
association and enforced through this management plan. If a user
association is not formed, maintenance costs will be assessed depending
on the amount of use on the road. If there is disagreement among users
as to the assessed costs, BLM will determine the costs to be borne by
each leaseholder.

Individual users 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 and/or associated structures, to conditions equal to or
superior to those prior to any damage or disturbance. This work must be
done according to applicable road maintenance standards and may require
the appropriate NEPA analysis.

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

Interior site driveways within the communications site will be
maintained by 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. Off-road
vehicle use by a user in and around the communication site will be
avoided.

[Road Closures]{.underline}

Native surface roads are subject to periodic closures to entry during
periods of extreme fire danger, inclement weather, or wet conditions.
Authorized site users may use the site during these periods, but should
use adequate judgment and may need to seek advance approval from the
Bureau of Land Management.

> that any new facilities will make the most efficient use of the
> limited amount of space at the site.
>
> 3\. Showing their proposals will provide for future users without
> additional construction.
>
> 4\. Providing engineering and geotechnical investigations for
> development of specific foundation designs and grading plans.
>
> 5\. Provide for erosion control as part of the Plan of Development
> prior to construction activities. At a minimum, erosion control must
> include: sediment control, stipulations that cut/fill slopes will be
> graded and contoured to prevent erosion and/or excessive runoff, and
> recommendations for temporary erosion control measures, (e.g. netting,
> silt fences, swales, and/or sediment collection areas).
>
> 6\. Coordinating with other Federal (e.g., FCC and FAA), State and
> County agencies and obtain all required approvals and/or permits.
>
> 7\. Providing 30-day notice to all facility owners/facility managers
> at the site, as well as the BLM, of all new frequencies proposed for
> the site. A completed BLM technical data sheet or equivalent must be
> sent with the 30-day notice to allow for comment of potential
> interference. This would be for new frequencies for themselves and
> their tenants and customers.
>
> 8\. Insuring that all written approvals have been obtained from the
> BLM prior to construction. In addition:

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

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.

The following methods and resource protection measures will be required
to minimize impacts during construction:

> 1\. Avoid and protect sensitive resource areas, as identified by the
> BLM.
>
> 2\. Compliance with the Plan of Development and the Erosion Control
> Plan.
>
> 3\. During construction and/or maintenance, no paint or paint thinners
> will be disposed of on site.
>
> 4\. Minimize ground disturbance and vegetation removal as much as
> possible during construction activities. All ground-disturbing
> activities require BLM pre-approval.
>
> 5\. Disturbed areas will be re-vegetated with species pre-approved by
> BLM as soon as possible after construction. If necessary, reseeding
> will be required until vegetation is successfully established as
> determined by the BLM.
>
> 6\. No grading material will be cast off during
> construction/reconstruction activities. Excess soil can be used for
> fill material on road and/or building/tower pads.
>
> 7\. Temporary, on-site storage of construction materials will require
> pre-approval by the BLM.
>
> 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 lessee/holder. Copies of completed
inspections are to be provided to the Royal Gorge 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 Royal Gorge
Field Office, Authorized Officer, 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. 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 BLM.
> 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 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.

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. FAA required lighting would be the only exception.

## New or Remodeled/Expanded Towers

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. New towers will be designed using
    maximum wind, snow, and/or tower loading anticipated for the site.

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

A Site Association may be desirable for the Twin Mountain Communication
Site as issues arise in the future requiring more user coordination,
particularly road maintenance. If formed in the future, the Site
Association would be responsible for obtaining access, maintenance and
upkeep of internal roads and parking areas. The Site Association would
also be responsible for ensuring cooperation between users for on-tower
access. The Site Association would be expected to develop a
Radiofrequency Radiation Plan/Agreement and recommend measures to reduce
interference issues (e.g., through use of filters).

The goal of the Site Association would 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 Royal Gorge
Field Office on matters relating to the Site administration. The
association would be able to work in cooperation with the BLM to
identify problems or opportunities and make recommendations to these
entities for any changes in management strategies at the site. The
association could also provide input to these entities regarding the
future addition of equipment and facilities at the site. While the
advice and recommendations of the association would not be binding on
these entities, they could use the input for administration of the site.
The BLM would be a member of such a group and would help jointly develop
the charter (i.e., the ground rules).

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