## 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 Antelope 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.

## Purpose

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

Overall management direction for the administration of communications
sites is outlined in the CFR and the BLM Handbook and applicable BLM
Instructional Memoranda. Specific direction for site management planning
on designated communications sites is contained in BLM Handbook 2860-1.
Primary regulations and policy pertaining to issuance of ROW
authorizations by the BLM are found in Title 43 CFR Sections 2801- 2808
and BLM Handbook 2860-1.

This communications site will be managed under the direction of the
Eagle Lake Resource Management Plan (RMP) Record of Decision which is
scheduled to be finalized in 2006. The Draft Resource Management Plan
states that the Eagle Lake Field Office will:

> "Establish communication sites on Antelope, Shaffer, and Grasshopper
> Mountains. In reference to this:

1.  Develop plans for each site (and update when necessary).

2.  Designate rights-of-way for each location.

3.  Define site boundaries, require cadastral surveys, and develop a map
    showing the location of each facility and its legal access.
    Facilities must be located within designated sites."

This Site Management Plan provides applicable guidance and adds current
policy and technical standards for better management of the Antelope
Mountain Communications Site. This plan governs development and
management of Antelope 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 the site will be addressed in a site-specific NEPA
document.

## Site Description

The site is located approximately 7 miles north of Susanville,
California and approximately 0.75 miles east of State Highway 139. It is
on Antelope Mountain, a low-lying mountain above Susanville. The area is
managed by the Eagle Lake Field Office. It is specifically located in
the SW¼SW¼ of sec. 35, T. 34N., R. 11 E., Mt. Diablo Base and Meridian,
Lassen County, California at approximately 40º 27' 12" North Latitude
and 120º 34' 17" West Longitude. The elevation at the Antelope Mountain
Communications Site is approximately 6,060 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 Susanville, travel north on Highway 139 approximately 6.8 miles to
a gravel surfaced road to the south. Turn right (south) and travel 0.3
miles to an unnamed fork in the road. Turn right, go through a steel bar
gate (which is normally locked), and travel an additional 0.5 miles to
the Antelope communications site.

## Site History and Development

There are currently four communications facilities at Antelope Mountain.
The first site was authorized to the California Highway Patrol (CHP) in
1960 under BLM authorization number CAS-60734. Since that time, it has
provided a base for a variety of other uses. Citizens Telcom was the
second authorized user in April, 1961 for microwave uses under serial
number CAS-66031. The authorization was assigned to Frontier, A Citizens
Communication Co., in 2002. The third user on the site was Sierra Radio
Network Group, who constructed a tower in 1976 under authorization
CACA-3073. Sierra houses their FM broadcast operations in the CHP
building, and operates three radio towers under their own lease. The
USDA Forest Service was issued an authorization in 1988 to construct and
operate a facility for their internal uses. US Cellular was issued a
lease in 1991 for their cellular service under authorization number
CACA-28975, and received permission to upgrade their facility in 2004.
The last user to establish a facility on Antelope Mountain was Lassen
Municipal Utility District, who established a small facility for their
internal mobile communications under BLM serial number CACA-41854 in
2000. There is a new facility within the Frontier fence, owned by Edge
Wireless, that currently does not have an authorization.

A list of all authorized facilities as of the date of this plan can be
found in Appendix B. Any modifications to existing facilities or
proposals for new facilities must be approved by the Eagle Lake Field
Office according to the appropriate NEPA process and guidance described
in this document.

There are problems at this site with radio interference. If it
deteriorates based upon the impacts to the existing uses, additional
studies, equipment upgrades, frequency isolation, and separation may be
necessary in conjunction with any additional uses especially if they are
continuously transmitting in nature or the increase in power from the
private land uses.

## Goals and Objectives of Site Management Plan

1\. Manage the Antelope Mountain site for two-way radio, microwave,
cellular, cable television receive and other low power broadcast uses.
All uses must be designed, operated and maintained so as not to
physically or electronically interfere with the senior uses. Due to the
current problems with interference at the site, additional high power
users shall not be allowed at this site. The existing high power uses,
defined as those uses with an output of greater than 500 watts effective
radiated power (ERP), shall be allowed as grandfathered uses (the
current high power uses are two FM radio broadcasters). Facility
owners/managers shall not add additional high power users within their
facilities, and BLM will not authorize additional high power facilities
at the site. BLM may, however, authorize modifications to existing
facilities if it can be shown that the modification will lessen
interference problems or is otherwise in the public interest.

2\. Manage communication equipment on the Antelope 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, subject to the BLM's goal to provide the
best possible public service at reasonable cost.

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.

9\. Develop new facilities only after the appropriate site-specific NEPA
analysis and coordination with current lease or ROW holders and users.
This future development must be consistent with the Eagle Lake RMP
Record of Decision.

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

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

## Authority

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

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

    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.

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

## 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.
>
> 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 is recommended at the
input of all receiving devices.

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, a bandpass cavity duplexer is required. Use of
the notch-type device is not permitted.

[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 195 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
Lassen Municipal Utility District (serial number CAS-66462). 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 LMUD and may need to be paid for by the
benefiting user(s).

[Telephone Service]{.underline}

Commercial telephone lines are not currently available at this site.

If additional service is ever deemed necessary, a separate ROW grant
will be issued or the existing grant will be amended. 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 Lassen County
Health Department.

## Security and Law Enforcement 

The Lassen 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). The security gate for the site,
located 0.3 miles from Highway 139, is normally locked. BLM maintains a
key to the gate and can facilitate access for visitors. BLM will not
provide entry for facility owners, tenants, customers, or contractors
working for them except in an emergency. Facility owners will maintain a
maximum of one lock on the gate and be responsible for providing keys or
access to tenants, customers, and contractors.

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

Most of the facilities on Antelope 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 Eagle Lake Field
Office weed abatement programs.

## Inspections

Enforcement authority is vested in the BLM as the Communications Site
Administrator for Antelope 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. Identified threatened, endangered, or
sensitive plant species must remain within the minimum clearance areas.

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 40 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 Lassen 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}

The natural surface road to the site from the highway is only
occasionally maintained by BLM. The road is in good condition. No
maintenance agreement currently exists for the road. It is recommended
that the site users contribute to better maintain this only access to
the site. BLM is not responsible for maintaining access to the site.

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 judgment and may need to seek advance approval from the Bureau of
Land Management.

> 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

> 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 Eagle Lake 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 Eagle Lake
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 Users' Association is recommended at this site. If formed in the
future, all lease and ROW holders would be encouraged to join the
association. The goal of the association would be to maximize the
effective use of the site, coordinate access and maintenance. The
objective of a sanctioned association would also be to represent all
site users as a group when dealing with the BLM Eagle Lake 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 the BLM for any changes in
management strategies at the site. The association could also provide
input to the BLM 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 BLM, the BLM 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). Sample by-laws are attached to the end of this document for
reference.

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.

**SAMPLE USER ASSOCIATION BY-LAWS**

XXXX MOUNTAIN COMMUNICATION SITE USER'S ASSOCIATION

CONSTITUTION

ARTICLE I

SECTION 1: The name of this Association will be the XXXX MOUNTAIN
COMMUNICATION SITE USER\'S ASSOCIATION, organized for the cooperative
protection from physical and electromagnetic interference to existing
radio facilities and ground and air access, protection of property and
development of the area for the maximum compatible use commensurate with
the adequate functioning of existing facilities, in accordance with
pertinent regulations. The Association is an unincorporated nonprofit
association formed solely for the purposes hereinafter set forth and
will not directly or indirectly, as an association, engage in any
business whatsoever for profit or otherwise. The signatories of this
agreement are in no way deemed to be a partnership, joint venture, or
association except for the purpose expressly herein set forth.

ARTICLE II

SECTION 1: The purpose of this association is to form an organization of
present and future radio-electronic users under right-of-way on XXXX
Mountain within the ABC Field Office, Vale District, Bureau of Land
Management (BLM).

The XXXX Mountain Communication Site, which is located in:

Township 30 North, Range 12 East, Mount Diablo Meridian,

Lassen County, California, Section 13, E½

Containing approximately 2 acres

for the purpose of this agreement, will be defined as the area
consisting of the present development on the peak and the land in a
circle around it within a radius of 2,000 feet. The object is to
properly manage future use and development of this communication site to
minimize physical and electromagnetic interference for the authorized
users of it.

The objectives of the association are:

A. To advise the BLM Field Manager on measures to manage the site to
protect the rights and interests of its members, including protection
from physical and electromagnetic interference.

B. To investigate allegations of physical and/or electromagnetic
interference and recommend measurers for correction.

C. To review applications from prospective users and recommend to the
BLM Field Manager measures which will adequately protect existing
operations. A prompt report will be made of the recommended course of
action with supporting rationale as each situation may require.

E. To recommend cooperative arrangements for financing the maintenance
and upkeep of existing improvements, such as roads and other
developments constructed for the common benefit of the site users.

F. To recommend a schedule of fees that will be applicable to all
members of the Association for the maintenance of common use
improvements benefiting all right-of-way holders.

G. To work in cooperation with the BLM in enforcement of all pertinent
regulations of the Department of the Interior, and to do any and all
things, lawful, just and necessary to further the interests of the users
association.

ARTICLE III

SECTION 1: The Association will consist of the right-of-way grant
holders on the XXXX Mountain Communication Site, or a representative for
each holder as designated in writing to exercise its voting privilege,
and a representative of the Bureau of Land Management. A right-of-way
grant holder is defined as an individual, association, corporation or
governmental entity holding a Bureau of Land Management right-of-way
grant or reservation for a communication site. Notices delivered to the
designated representative will be considered notice to the user itself.

SECTION 2: The Association will elect a Board consisting of a
chairperson, vice-chairperson, secretary/treasurer, three financial
committee members, technical review committee chairperson, site database
manager, and three technical review committee members, from the
right-of-way holders, who will hold office for one year. Election of
officers will be determined by the drawing of lots. Members so elected
will then serve their terms on a rotational basis. A reserve list will
be maintained in the order of the drawing of lots. New users will be
added to the reserve list to serve as officers in the group in the order
they receive authorization to locate on the site. The first name so
drawn will serve as chairperson and the other offices will be so filled
in descending order as the names are drawn. At the end of the one-year
term, all positions will shift upward on the list, the chairperson
moving to last on the reserve list. As vacancies occur, due to turnover
in a holder\'s internal organization, an authorized representative may
serve out the remainder of the unexpired term.

For the purpose of this document, the term, \"user group\" and \"user\"
will be used interchangeably to refer to those right-of-way grant
holders who have entered into this Association and which have been
authorized to occupy the XXXX Mountain Communication Site by receipt of
a right-of-way or right-of-way reservation issued by BLM.

SECTION 3: The recommendation of the Association will be forwarded to
the BLM Field Manager for action.

SECTION 4: Each new right-of-way holder on the XXXX Mountain
Communication Site will be required to enter into the Association
through stipulations included in its right-of-way grant from BLM.

SECTION 5: Members will be in good standing when all Association fees
and assessments are paid, and when they are in compliance with the
Association\'s constitution and bylaws.

ARTICLE IV

SECTION 1: Each party hereto will, during the existence of this
Agreement and thereafter, severally release and indemnify each other
from and against all liability, cost, expense and valid claims for
injuries or deaths of persons and loss or damage to property arising out
of use of the access road or electronic site by such party or the
employees, agents, guests or assigns of such party.

SECTION 2: All users will agree to indemnify and hold harmless the
United States, its successors and assigns, its officers, agents and
employees, from any and all damages and claims for damages of every
description or kind whatsoever, which may result from the exercise of
any of the rights reserved herein.

relevant site data on an annual basis. A convenient time for the
distribution of this listing would be at the annual meeting or a special
meeting.

ARTICLE IV

SECTION 1: Technical Standards

All users on the site will adhere to the following technical standards.
Adherence to these standards will minimize physical damage and RF
interference, thus providing for improved electromagnetic compatibility
of all users.

A. All radio-electronic type equipment, including associated cables,
wiring and antenna systems, will be installed and maintained in a clean,
neat and orderly manner, and be permanently secured. All such
installations will be both electrically and mechanically sound.

> B. All associated cabling must be designed to prevent interference.

C. All radio equipment will be anchored by applicable approved standards
or approved rack mount (floor to ceiling). Each transmitter will be
externally identified with a copy of the current FCC license, or IRAC
authorization, name and telephone number of the person responsible for
the equipment maintenance, the receiver frequency, transmit/receive tone
frequencies, and transmit frequency and power.

D. All antenna cables entering and leaving will carry like
identification tags entering and leaving building. The antenna will not
be indiscriminately moved after initial mounting and tests.

E. When radio interference occurs, notch filters, crystal filters and
dual ferrite isolators and/or band pass devices may be required. The
need for additional filtering equipment will be determined on a
case-by-case basis.

F. All transmitting/receiving equipment be in accordance with FCC rules
and regulations.

G. All RF transmission line systems will be engineered, procured and
installed with the intention of minimizing any effects upon the ambient
RF noise floor environment.

H. Any receiver generating interference may need to be equipped with
cavities, crystal filters, or to change their IF to eliminate
interference.

I. Power output of any system on the low-power portion of the XXXX
Mountain Communication Site will not exceed 500 watts ERP (Effective
Radiated Power). Transmitter isolators will have a minimum of 65db of
isolation in the output to the antenna. For the applicant that desires
to exceed the 500 watt limitation, additional information may be
requested. Such information may consist of a complete intermodulation
study, field strength test, etc. The applicant may also be requested to
make a formal presentation to the XXXX Mountain Communication Site Users
Association, Technical Committee, and the BLM before the application
will be approved. If the application for a transmitter exceeding 500
watts ERP is approved and this transmitter causes interference to
another user that cannot be resolved by any known technical means, the
new user will cease operation within 24 hours of notice by the BLM.
Electromagnetic interference being defined as any radio frequency
associated interaction that impedes or hinders another service. In the
event that further negotiations cannot resolve the interference problem,
the new station will not be permitted to resume transmitting.

J. System design must provide adequate isolation between antennas.

K. If harmful spurious emissions and harmonic content are shown to be
causing interference, the responsible user will be required to use
additional measures to suppress it.

L. Each microwave and point-to-point system change or addition will be
addressed individually by the Technical Committee to provide advice to
the Field Manager to take appropriate action.

M. Any miscellaneous equipment that cause harmful interference will not
be used, or if installed, must be repaired, replaced or removed.

N. Systems must be grounded in a manner that is compatible with existing
user\'s grounding so interference will not be compounded.

O. All antennas and signal transmission media must be terminated with
its own characteristic impedance when not in use.

P. The noise floor contribution of any new equipment or changes to
existing equipment must not cause the total noise floor to exceed the
agreed upon maximum level.

Q. Housekeeping has environmental, visual and electromagnetic
compatibility. Debris which is permitted to remain adrift raises the
noise floor for all users and gives rise to intermodulation potential
which often defies identification. Therefore, all debris will be cleaned
up immediately and will not be allowed to accumulate on the site.

R. Guy wires, bonding across crevices, transmission lines, brackets,
etc., will be insulated. Loose wire or metal objects must not be left on
towers, or on site..

SECTION 2: Annual Inspection and Enforcement

The Bureau will provide written notice of the scheduled inspection date
and time 30 days in advance, and each user may arrange personnel
available at the site at the time of inspection.

SECTION 3: When Interference Occurs

A. All users will cooperate with this Association and the Bureau in
identification and correction of any interference-related problems.

B. When a new user applies for a right-of-way to install a system, or an
existing user applies for an amendment on the site, the BLM will advise
all the existing users concerning the technical and physical parameters
of the proposed system so that they may ascertain if the proposed
installation is physically and electronically compatible to their
frequency system(s).

C. The association members will be given a period not to exceed thirty
(30) days from receipt of the Notice of Site Availability from the
Bureau of Land Management in which to comment on it and to the applicant
on probable interference.

D. If the technical evaluations reflect that there may be interference
problems with other users, the applicant has up to thirty (30) days to
respond to the Technical Committee on remedies for interference
problems. These remedies may include engineering analysis and other
pertinent information. A field test for compatibility may be request at
the expense of the applicant.
