## 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" and
clarifications provided in Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Handbook
2860-1 and the United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 43 CFR
2801-2806. 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 Bureau of Land Management and the
communications use leaseholder, the lessee. The words "customer" and
"tenant" refer to the relationship between the lessee and the occupants
in the lessee's facilities.

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

LEASEHOLDER OR LESSEE -- Facility Owner/Facility Manager

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

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

COMMUNICATIONS SITE -- An area of Bureau of Land Management administered
public land designated through the land and resource management planning
process. A communications site may be limited to a single communications
facility, but most often encompasses more than one. Each site is
identified by name; usually a local prominent landmark, such as Boulder
Communication Site.

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

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

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

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

## Purpose

This plan is intended to be used by Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
officials administering communication uses at Boulder, existing lessees,
and applicants desiring a lease or a lease amendment. The plan will be
kept updated by amending pages or sections of the plan rather than
issuing a revised edition of the plan. When a revision is necessary, the
plan will be amended by letter from the Butte Field Office Manager
enclosing a copy of revised pages or sections. The amendments will be
consecutively numbered.

Overall management direction for the administration of communications
sites is outlined in the Headwaters Resource Management Plan
(RMP)(1984), the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs) and the BLM
Handbook and applicable Instruction 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 rights-of-way and leases by the BLM are found in Title 43,
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Sections 2801-2806 and BLM Handbook
2860-1.

The Headwaters RMP does not specifically address communications uses.
Boulder lies within Management Unit #23. Lands and Rights-of-Way (ROW)
guidelines are contained on page 159 which states the unit: "includes
important seasonal wildlife habitat and high value forest land in the
Eight Mile Creek and Boulder-Clancy areas." Lands are available for
utility corridors. This RMP is scheduled to be revised by October of
2006 and will address all communication sites in the Butte Field Office.
The revision will recognize and designate the Boulder Site for low-power
broadcast and low-power non-broadcast uses.

Primary management of this site is to ensure the integrity and
usefulness of the senior two-way radio, low-power broadcast translator,
point to point microwave and cellular uses at this site. The maximum
power output for the Boulder Communication 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.

There has never been a communication site plan prepared for this site.
This plan has technical standards for better management of the Boulder
Communication Site. This plan governs development and management of the
site and will be modified in the future as needs and conditions warrant.
Any future uses must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained to
be compatible and not interfere with the primary uses.

This site-specific plan is administrative in nature and is Categorically
Excluded from further review under the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) (516 DM2, Appendix 1, 1.7). Any additional development of the
site will be addressed in a site-specific NEPA document.

## Site Description

The Boulder Communication Site is located on lands which are
administered by the Butte Field Office, and located north of Boulder,
Montana. The legal description of the site is as follows:

T. 6 N., R. 4 W., Section 19 SE¼NE¼ , Principal Meridian Montana

Approximately 46º 15' 34" North Latitude and 112º 09' 08" West Longitude

The elevation of the site is approximately 5880 feet above mean sea
level (msl).

Four facilities are currently located at the site. A site map is
provided as Appendix A.

## Area Served

This site does not serve a Ranally Metro Area (RMA). The largest
community served is Boulder, Montana. Zone #9 in the fee schedule will
be used for fee calculation purposes. Fee determination is based in part
on the population zone which may be adjusted annually based upon changes
in population and growth or designation of an RMA.

## Access

Access to the site is from Interstate 15 through Boulder west on city
streets to Depot Road and then to the Boulder Communication Site on BLM
administered Lands. The right-of-way across the BLM administered lands
is part of the lease. Maintenance on county roads is provided by
Jefferson County.

## Site History and Development

## Boulder communication site was first developed by the Forest Service in 1975. Jefferson County utilizes their facility for two-way public repeaters (MTM-25413). Boulder TV Association operates a low-power TV translator facility (MTM-25024). In 1994, WWC Holding was authorized to place a separate cellular facility at the site (MTM-82864). Verizon Wireless built their facility in 2004 (MTM-94130). {#boulder-communication-site-was-first-developed-by-the-forest-service-in-1975.-jefferson-county-utilizes-their-facility-for-two-way-public-repeaters-mtm-25413.-boulder-tv-association-operates-a-low-power-tv-translator-facility-mtm-25024.-in-1994-wwc-holding-was-authorized-to-place-a-separate-cellular-facility-at-the-site-mtm-82864.-verizon-wireless-built-their-facility-in-2004-mtm-94130. .unnumbered}

Ample land area is available for future site development, but it is
predicted that the existing buildings and towers should meet the
projected demand at this site.

## Goals and Objectives of Site Management Plan

> 1\. To document site management policy, procedures, and standards
> which are not specified in BLM's standard Communications Use Lease or
> Right-of-Way (ROW) grants.
>
> 2\. To manage Boulder as a low-power broadcast and non-broadcast site.
> Future authorizations and additional uses must be designed to prevent
> degradation of the two-way public use which is the senior use at this
> site.
>
> 4\. To establish communication guidelines for operations within the
> communication site.
>
> 5\. To protect the interest of authorized site users by preserving a
> safe and electronically "clean" environment.
>
> 6\. To encourage efficient development and joint use of space and
> facilities whenever possible. New facilities will only be allowed
> after appropriate site-specific NEPA analysis, coordination with
> current lease holders and users, and once the existing facilities are
> filled to near capacity.
>
> 7\. The site will be systematically developed to maximize the number
> of compatible uses while ensuring the safety and protection of
> resources.
>
> 8\. The overall appearance of the site and the integrity of the
> natural environment will be improved through stringent maintenance
> requirements. The BLM must pre-approve the paint color that is
> proposed for use on all exterior surfaces. Surfaces must meet this new
> standard when the current surface needs to be repainted.
>
> 9\. Communication equipment located at the site will managed to be
> consistent with the RMP's Visual Resource Management (VRM) guidelines
> as viewed from major travel corridors.
>
> 10\. This Communication Site Plan shall be amended as necessary to be
> consistent with the RMP and any subsequent revisions.

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

## Authority

Authorization of communications uses on Federal (BLM) land 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 2801-2806

and WO IB 98-23.

Bureau of Land Management authority for communications site management
planning is contained in Bureau of Land Management Handbook 2801-1, Plan
of Development. Direction on and policy for communication use
authorizations is contained in Bureau of Land Management Manual (BLM
Manual) section 2860.

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

## Relationship to Communications Site Lease

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

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

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

Issuing and amending authorizations to Facility Owners and Facility
Managers, only for the areas actually occupied by the authorized
improvements. Granting, occupancy and use of Public Lands rests
exclusively with the Bureau of Land Management Title 43, CFR, Sections
2801-2806. The issuance of a FCC license (authorization), or frequency
assignment, does not authorize occupancy of Public Lands.

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

2\. Approving assignments or amendments to leases to qualified buyers of
facilities on the site.

## Facility Owners and Facility Managers (or designated representatives) are responsible for:

1.  Complying with their authorization and all sections of the Site
    Management Plan.

2.  Ensuring that all new facilities, expansions, or improvements are
    consistent with the Headwaters RMP (1984); future revisions of the
    Headwaters RMP; 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/Manager and the contact
    person may be the same individual. The contact person will be
    available for emergencies and will have the authority to make
    decisions about construction issues, facility maintenance and all
    equipment within the facility.

6.  Adhering to the terms of the Facility Owner/Manager Lease or ROW 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 using a facility covered by a
        Communications Use Lease will not have separate BLM Leases/ROWs
        to authorize their use except in situations where regulations or
        policy require them.

    c.  Facility Owners and Facility Managers are responsible for
        complying with the terms and conditions of the Facility
        Lease/ROW. Facility Owner/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.

    d.  Facility Owners and Facility Managers 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.

    e.  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/Manager must own
        all communication shelters and towers under their lease. \[If
        that is not possible, a separate SF-299 application,
        cost-recovery deposit, analysis, and authorization are required.
        This will also result in the use being a tenant/customer of the
        original lease holder in additional to being a separate facility
        for billing purposes.\]

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

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

    a.  Monitoring radiation levels at their facility and;

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

9.  **Providing a certified copy of their use and the category of use
    along with the current phone numbers and addresses of all tenants
    and customers as of September 30th each year. This report is due by
    October 15^th^. Facility Owners/Managers are responsible for
    submitting this information is submitted on time; BLM is not
    responsible for requesting the information**. A Tenant/Customer Use
    Inventory Form is provided as Appendix E.

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

11. Placing the Lessee/ROW holder's name, address, phone number, BLM and
    FCC authorization numbers on their facility.

## FCC and NTIA/IRAC are responsible for:

The responsibilities of the FCC and NTIA/IRAC are frequency management.
Correcting interference problems is the responsibility of the affected
licensees. The FCC and NTIA/IRAC are not normally responsible for the
resolution of conflicts when the licensees or agencies are operating
within the limits of the authorizations.

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

## Exclusive Use of a Facility By a Single User

All facilities are currently designed to accommodate multiple users.

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

The capacity of the current facilities is adequate on both the towers
and within the existing buildings for future tenants/customers. Any
future proposals must be designed to include multiple users. This
includes multiple use 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]{.underline} 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 officer of the BLM
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.

> Any substantial expansion activities will require additional BLM
> approval and preparation of a site-specific NEPA analysis. BLM
> reserves the right to approve a new facility through the NEPA process
> if current facilities cannot meet the new need.

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

The BLM will charge Facility Owners and Facility Managers annual fees
based on the Fee Schedule for Communications Uses on Public Lands as
adjusted annually. These fees will be fair market value for the use of
public lands. Since this site is not within an established RMA, the
population zone of less than 25,000 will be used for these calculations
unless specifically agreed to by the authorizing officer.

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 the tenants and "customers".

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

Upon renewal of expiring authorizations, existing communication site
holders/lessees will not be required to upgrade or retrofit exiting
installations to meet current building code requirements or new standard
site plan requirements unless a safety issue or interference issue is
identified.

## Unique Resource Considerations at this Communication Site

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

## Wiring and Grounding 

> 1\. All equipment is to be installed within existing buildings and on
> equipment racks that are grounded and shielded. Grounding is to be
> installed in accordance with accepted standards.
>
> 2\. All electrical wiring and grounding must meet the 'National
> Electrical Code" and applicable state codes. All permanent wiring
> shall be installed in metallic conduit. Surge protection shall be
> installed on all power distribution panels.
>
> 3\. Lightning protection "down" conductors installed upon
> communications towers shall be treated as "Transmission lines".
> Therefore, they shall have an insulating jacket. 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, 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 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.

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 electromagnetic noise becomes an
issue at this site, prior to any additional uses, noise threshold limits
must be established, and amended into the Site Plan.

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

[Receiving Equipment]{.underline}

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.

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

[Tower]{.underline}

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

2.  Generally only one tower is authorized for each facility. Facility
    Owners and Facility Managers may obtain permission to construct a
    second tower only after submitting evidence that demonstrates that
    their existing tower is completely filled and full use has been made
    of combining systems. When a single equipment building is required,
    multiple antenna support structures may need to be designed and
    authorized to accommodate all uses without interference.

3.  All new and replacement towers shall be self supporting (lattice or
    monopole), and be made of non-reflective galvanized steel which will
    not require painting. Guy wires will not be permitted.

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

5.  The maximum tower height for this site is 120 feet including the
    antenna.

6.  Anti-climb devices, removable steps, or other means to discourage
    unauthorized climbing, are highly recommended for facilities which
    are not enclosed by security fencing.

7.  No red and white striping, lights, beacons or strobes will be
    allowed on towers or antennas unless specifically required by the
    FCC or the FAA.

8.  All new and replacement towers will be treated for low to
    non-reflectance. Paint is required only if they have a shiny (i.e.
    reflective) surface.

9.  All new and replacement towers will comply with current structural
    and safety specifications and design standards.

10. All new and replacement towers will be designed using maximum wind,
    snow, and /or tower loading anticipated for the site.

[Antennas]{.underline}

1.  The maximum antenna height (including tower) will be 120 feet.

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

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

4.  All radiating parabolic dish antennas need to be equipped with a
    radome (cover) for the prevention of perching on the feedhorn within
    the near-radiating field. Manufacturer's trademark on the radome
    shall not stand out. Fences or other structures associated with the
    antenna shall be at a height to prevent perching in direct line with
    the beam.

5.  Color(s) for dish antennas, or covers must be pre-approved by the
    BLM. White dish antennas and/or covers will not be approved.
    Existing white dishes and covers must be repainted or replaced with
    earthtone colors as repairs or replacements become necessary.

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

7.  High-power omni broadcast antennas placed on tapered towers will be
    installed with the least face width feasible.

8.  Low-Power transmit and receive antennas will be located as close to
    the ground as feasible.

[Interference]{.underline}

The responsibility for correcting interference problems is a matter for
resolution between the Facility Owners or Facility Mangers, the user
causing the interference, and the affected party(ies). Generally, the
first users on a site have seniority with respect to the resolution of
interference complaints. Senior holders have an obligation to maintain
their equipment to industry standards, to operate their systems in
accordance with the terms of both the FCC license and NTIA/IRAC
frequency authorization, and to comply with the 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 or other interference-related data and agree to accept financial
responsibility for elimination or prevention of any interference caused
by the facility before their application can be evaluated. They must
cease operation of the suspect equipment until the problem is corrected.
If interference problems cannot be resolved or corrected within a
reasonable time, the new use that is causing the interference may be
terminated and the equipment removed.

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 the site to which this authorization refers. The user causing
this interference, shall, at its own expense, take all action necessary
to prevent or eliminate such interferences. If it does not eliminate
such interference within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from the
BLM to do so, the 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.

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

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

Unjacketed transmission lines of any type are prohibited. No
transmission lines 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.

Monitoring radiation levels at the site is the responsibility of all
site users and will occur at intervals to comply with FCC regulations
and guidelines. A copy of the monitoring report will be provided to the
BLM within 30 days of its completion.

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

Security fences with RFR notice signs are required around areas that
exceed public use levels. All fencing location and design will require
pre-approval by the BLM.

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

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

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

## Utilities-Availability of and Requirements for:

[Commercial Electrical Power]{.underline}

Commercial power is provided to the site under separate ROW grant to
Northwestern Corporation (MTM-22227). The distribution line to the site
and portions of the service drops are aerial. Future service drops and
future modifications will be buried.

[Telephone Service]{.underline}

No hardwire, telephone service is provided to the site. If this service
is ever deemed necessary, site users will pay for the cost of:

1.  The necessary resource surveys and NEPA documentation reports for
    service connection, and

2.  The cost of constructing service connections.

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

[Fuel Tanks]{.underline}

All Facility Owners/Managers are responsible for providing fuel storage
(propane and diesel) and emergency power for their tenants. No
tenants/customers will be authorized the use of their own fuel tank
and/or generator. Fuel storage will preferably be consolidated into a
tank large enough to accommodate all tenants/customers by each Facility
Owner/Manager. At a minimum, tanks will be grouped together in a
consolidated area adjacent to their facilities. All fuel, storage tanks
(e.g. LPG, propane and diesel) must meet current fire department,
Federal, State, and County safety and hazardous materials requirements.

1.  All tanks will be:

> a\. Signed in red letters, "SMOKING OR OPEN FLAME PROHIBITED WITHIN 20
> FEET";
>
> b\. In conformance with National Fire Protection Association (NEPA)
> 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).
>
> 2\. Diesel tanks will also be:
>
> a\. Enclosed in BLM and fire department approved secondary containment
> vault that is painted an approved color.
>
> b\. Constructed with underground fuel lines. Fuel line must be
> constructed of black, treated pipe and fittings, and must be posted.

## Sanitary Facilities

Plans for any new sanitary facilities require pre-approval by the BLM.
If it is determined by the BLM that the user needs 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 County Health
Department.

## Security And Law Enforcement 

The Jefferson 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).

Patrol and policing for security purposes is the holder's
responsibility. If holders desire to have the protection of fencing, BLM
approval must be obtained first. To reduce visual clutter and
efficiently utilize existing space, fencing groups of buildings will be
encouraged.

Any access gates must be adequate for BLM and Fire Department access
needs.

[Fencing]{.underline}

Two facilities are currently fenced (MTM-82864 and MTM-91430). Any new
fences or future modifications to existing fences must meet the
following criteria:

> 1\. All fences must meet health and safety requirements.
>
> 2\. All fence locations and design require pre-approval from the BLM.
> 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). If graffiti is on natural features
(e.g. rocks), the graffiti will be removed in a method approved by the
BLM.

Site 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 allowed. 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 the users bordering
these areas.

During construction and/or maintenance, paintbrushes will not be cleaned
off on the rocks around the site and excess materials (e.g. cement) will
be removed from public lands.

Peeling paint on buildings and/or towers will be re-painted within
thirty (30) days of notification of the holder by the BLM (weather
permitting).

Users are collectively and individually responsible for the control of
noxious weeds within their authorized lease area. Noxious weed
management will be consistent with the goals and objectives of the BLM's
Partners Against Weeds Action Plan.

## Inspections

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

The BLM may also conduct un-announced periodic reviews to monitor for
authorization compliance.

## Fire Prevention and Hazard Reduction Requirements 

Any fire will be immediately reported to "911", the Helena Interagency
Dispatch Center (HIDC) at (406) 444-4242 or the Jefferson County
Sheriff's Department at (406) 225-4075.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

Facility Owners/Managers will be required to maintain a minimum
clearance of thirty (30) feet around the buildings and a minimum of ten
(10) feet clearance around any propane tanks to serve as a vegetative
gap or fire break.

Vegetative clearing must not negatively impact threatened, endangered,
or sensitive plant species within the clearance areas.

Smoking is prohibited while walking in flammable vegetation. Smoking
materials must be properly disposed of.

Roof structures shall be kept reasonably clear of leaves, twigs, and
other 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 B:C dry chemical fire extinguisher is
required inside each building. Prior to each June, fire extinguisher(s)
shall be inspected and refilled by holders, if necessary.

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

## Access Maintenance and Restrictions

[Roads]{.underline}

The current access is entirely on roads maintained by Jefferson County
or on roads administered by the BLM. BLM roads receive periodic surface
maintenance as funding is available. The access roads are included in
the Communication Use Lease.

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

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

Roads 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. The intent is to discourage
off-road vehicle use in and around the site.

[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 users may use the site during these periods if advance
approval is obtained from the BLM.

A.  **[Holder/Lessee Review]{.underline}**

Facility Owners and Facility Managers will be given the opportunity to
review and comment on new communication uses proposed for Boulder.
Applications and technical data information filed with the Butte Field
Office will be copied and forwarded to each Facility Owner/Manager at
the site, and processed as described in Section VII.

**Facility Owners/Mangers proposing to accommodate additional
tenants/customers within their facility will be responsible for sharing
information regarding the proposed additions/changes with other site
users. It is strongly suggested that the Facility Owners/Managers
involve any tenants and customers in this review process.**

Generally, the advanced notification/review period shall be a minimum of
30 days, but this time frame may be adjusted by the Butte Field Office
depending on specific circumstances. A Technical Data Report is provided
as Appendix F

## 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 any Erosion Control Plan set forth by the BLM.
>
> 3\. During construction and/or maintenance, paintbrushes will not be
> cleaned off on rocks around site and no marks of any kind (including
> survey marks) will be permitted on rocks.
>
> 4\. Minimize ground disturbance and vegetation removal as much as
> possible during construction activities. All ground-disturbing
> activities require pre-approval by the BLM.
>
> 5\. Any extensive cut and fill slopes will be re-vegetated with
> vegetation species 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. However; if construction materials and
> supplies are left unattended, it will be at the owner's risk.
>
> 8\. 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.
>
> 9\. 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.
>
> 10\. 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 land 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 standard and accepted engineering
> standards (i.e., the Uniform Building Code). Where a conflict exists
> between Federal, State, or local sources, the most stringent
> requirements will dictate.
>
> 2\. Any construction inspections required by other applicable agencies
> are the responsibility of the holder. Copies of completed inspections
> are to be provided to the Butte Field Office, either as they occur or
> as part of the final as-built plan. Inspection information shall
> become a permanent part of the Lease/ROW holders' case file.
>
> 3\. The Facility Owner/Manager 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, they 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 Butte Field
> Office within 90 days of acceptance of structure (if contracted) or of
> completion date.

## New or Remodeled/Expanded Buildings

New proposals shall be designed as much as possible to take advantage of
vegetative and topographic screening. Proposals must provide sufficient
data so that visual compatibility of the proposal, landform, vegetation
changes, and lighting can be evaluated. Consideration of a vegetative
gap or fire break around of the proposed facility, to reduce wildfire
hazards, shall be included in the design of any new proposals or to
significant modifications to existing facilities.

1.  Buildings are required to be one-story, flat roofed. Proposals for
    wooden structures will not be approved. The roof must be constructed
    of fire resistant materials (see 3c below). Roofs can be equipped
    with antenna support structures, such as poles and railings that can
    extend up to 25-feet above ground level.

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

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
a.  Sublease sections to others;

b.  Provide tenants and customers with internal separation and security;

c.  Reduce physical interference; and

d.  Increase management effectiveness.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
3.  The following materials are approved for construction of
    new/replacement facilities (i.e. buildings).

    a.  Floors -- Concrete slab with drainage.

    b.  Walls -- Concrete block, pre-fabricated concrete, or other
        pre-approved fire resistant materials.

    c.  Roof - Concrete slab or non-reflective metal, or other fireproof
        material as approved by the BLM.

    d.  Partitions - Concrete block, reinforced concrete, or properly
        grounded expanded metal. Other materials will be considered
        provided a minimum 3-hour fire exposure rating can be assured.

    e.  Color - Exterior colors should make the building as
        inconspicuous as possible. The intent is to eliminate glare from
        reflective and/or illuminated surfaces such as window panes,
        sheeting and reflective paints. Non-reflective, earthtone colors
        will be used on all equipment shelters and color selection will
        require pre-approval from the BLM. Surfaces must meet this new
        standard when the facilities need repainting.

    f.  Pre-fabricated equipment shelters which meet the above
        requirements shall be preferred.

**Building entry lights must:**

> a\. Only light the immediate area in the vicinity of the door;
>
> b\. Be motion activated and have a limited time duration (e.g., 3-5
> minutes); and
>
> c\. Have a shielded beam that is pointed at the building door.

Requests for all-night (i.e. "dusk-to-dawn") lighting, or entry lighting
that would be visible from outside of the site will not be approved.

## New or Remodeled/Expanded Towers

1.  All new construction, reconstruction, and modifications to towers
    require pre-approval by the BLM prior to implementation.

2.  All new and replacement antenna support structures/towers shall be
    self supporting (lattice or monopole), and be constructed of
    non-reflective galvanized steel which will not require painting.
    **Guy wires will not be permitted.**

3.  Anti-climb devices, removable steps, or other means to discourage
    unauthorized climbing, are highly recommended for facilities which
    are not enclosed by security fencing.

4.  No red and white striping, lights, beacons or strobes will be
    allowed on towers or antennas unless specifically required by the
    FCC or the FAA.

5.  All new and replacement towers will be treated for low to
    non-reflectance.

6.  It is the Facility Owner/Managers 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 Lease/ROW, or amendment.

7.  All new and replacement towers should be as narrow and "open" as
    safety and structural integrity allow.

8.  New towers will be designed and constructed in accordance with the
    current addition of the EIA/TIA-RS-222 standards.

9.  All new and replacement towers will comply with current structural
    and safety specifications and design standards.

10. Every structure shall be designed and constructed to resist stresses
    produced by lateral forces generated by seismic activity as per all
    applicable state and county seismic standards.

11. All new and replacement towers will be designed using maximum wind,
    snow, and/or tower loading anticipated for the site.

12. Antennas, dishes or other incidental communications equipment shall
    be securely attached to the antenna support structure/tower so that
    they remain attached under any and all events for which the
    structure was designed.

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

A Site Association is not recommended for the Boulder Communication
Site. If formed in the future, the Site Association would be responsible
for 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. A Site Safety officer would be
identified within the Site Association. 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 Butte Field
Office on matters relating to the Site administration. The association
would be able to work in cooperation with the BLM, and County 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 and County or their representatives 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.

completing and reviewing the collection of information

Description of Communications Site Uses

###### ***BLM's Communication Use Rent Schedule covers the following types of communication uses, including related technologies, which are located in a facility authorized by a BLM right-of-way grant or lease. All use categories include ancillary communications equipment, such as microwave or internal one-or two-way radio, that are directly related to operating, maintaining, and monitoring the primary uses listed below. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) may or may not license the primary uses. The type of use and community served, identified on an FCC license, if one has been issued, do not supersede either the definitions below or the procedures for calculating rent pursuant to 43 CFR 2801-2806 and subsequent interim directives for communication facilities and uses located on public land.***  {#blms-communication-use-rent-schedule-covers-the-following-types-of-communication-uses-including-related-technologies-which-are-located-in-a-facility-authorized-by-a-blm-right-of-way-grant-or-lease.-all-use-categories-include-ancillary-communications-equipment-such-as-microwave-or-internal-one-or-two-way-radio-that-are-directly-related-to-operating-maintaining-and-monitoring-the-primary-uses-listed-below.-the-federal-communications-commission-fcc-may-or-may-not-license-the-primary-uses.-the-type-of-use-and-community-served-identified-on-an-fcc-license-if-one-has-been-issued-do-not-supersede-either-the-definitions-below-or-the-procedures-for-calculating-rent-pursuant-to-43-cfr-2801-2806-and-subsequent-interim-directives-for-communication-facilities-and-uses-located-on-public-land. .unnumbered}

###### Broadcast Uses {#broadcast-uses .unnumbered}

[AM and FM Radio Broadcast (AM or FM)]{.underline} means a use that
broadcasts amplitude modulation (AM) or frequency modulation (FM) audio
signals for general public reception. Users include radio stations that
generate revenues from commercial advertising and public radio stations
whose revenues are supported by subscriptions, grants, and donations.
Broadcast areas often overlap State boundaries. This category of use
relates only to primary transmitters and not to any rebroadcast systems
such as translators, microwave relays serving broadcast translators, or
holders licensed by the FCC as low power FM radio.

[Broadcast Translator, Low Power Television, and Low Power FM Radio
(BT)]{.underline} means a use of translators, low power television
(LPTV), low power FM radio (LPFM). Broadcast translators receive a
television or FM radio broadcast signal and rebroadcast it on a
different channel or frequency for local reception. In some cases the
translator relays the signal to another amplifier or translator. LPTV
and LPFM radio stations are broadcast translators that originate
programming. This category of use includes translators associated with
public telecommunication services.

[Cable Television (CT)]{.underline} means a use that transmits video
programming to multiple subscribers in a community over a wired or
wireless network. These systems normally operate as a commercial entity
within an authorized franchise area. This category does not include
rebroadcast devices or personal or internal antenna systems, such as
private systems serving hotels or residences.

[Television Broadcast (TV)]{.underline} means a use that broadcasts UHF
and VHF audio and video signals for general public reception. Users
include television stations (major and independent networks) that
generate income through commercial advertisement and public television
stations whose operations are supported by subscriptions, grants, and
donations. Broadcast areas may overlap State boundaries. This category
does not include LPTV or rebroadcast devices, such as translators, or
transmitting devices, such as microwave relays serving broadcast
translators.

***Non-Broadcast Uses***

[Cellular Telephone (CEL)]{.underline} means a system of mobile or fixed
communication devices that use a combination of radio and telephone
switching technology and provide public switched network services to
fixed or mobile users, or both within a defined geographic area. The
system consists of one or more cell sites containing transmitting and
receiving antennas, cellular base station radio, telephone equipment, or
microwave communications link equipment utilized as back haul for that
site. The following uses may be categorized as Commercial Mobile Radio
Service (CMRS) on an FCC license, however, for rent determination
purposes these are all considered Cellular uses: (1) Enhanced
Specialized Mobile Radio (ESMR), (2) Improved Mobile Telephone Service
(IMTS), (3) Air-to-Ground, (4) Offshore Radio Telephone Service, (5)
Cell Site Extender, (6) Local Multipoint Distribution Service and (7)
Personal Communication Service (PCS). When both analog and digital
equipment are operated at a site, two cellular(CEL) uses are inventoried
to determine the appropriate fee.

[Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS)]{.underline} means commercial
mobile radio uses that provide mobile radio communications service to
individual customers. Examples of CMRS include: Community repeaters,
trunked radio (specialized mobile radio), two-way radio voice dispatch,
public switched network (telephone/data) interconnect service, microwave
communications link equipment, and other two-way voice and paging
services.

[Facility Manager (FAM)]{.underline}. A facility manager does not
directly provide communications services and does not hold an FCC
license to operate communications equipment. "Facility Managers" are
lease holders that lease building, tower, and related facility space to
a variety of tenants and customers as part of the holder's business
enterprise, but do not own or operate communication equipment in the
facility for their own uses.

[Local Exchange Network (LEN)]{.underline} means a radio service that
provides basic telephone service primarily to rural communities. Rent
for LEN uses, as well as wireless internet service provider uses for
populations less than 1,000, are determined from regional rent schedules
developed by the US Forest Service.

[Microwave (MIC & INT MIC)]{.underline} means communication uses that
(1) provide long-line intrastate and interstate public telephone
(including relay of cellular traffic from other cellular sites),
television, and data transmissions (common carrier, code MIC), or (2)
support the primary business of pipeline and power companies, railroads,
and land resource management companies by providing the companies'
internal communication system (internal microwave or INT MIC), or
wireless internet service provider (MIC-ISP). When a portion of the
microwave bandwidth is used as a separate, commercial enterprise, a
separate microwave use shall be inventoried for fee calculation
purposes.

[Other Communications Uses (OT)]{.underline} means private
communications uses, such as amateur radio, personal/private
receive-only antennas, natural resource and environmental monitoring
equipment, and other small, low-power devices used to monitor or control
remote activities. These facilities are personally owned and not
operated for profit.

[Passive Reflector (PR)]{.underline} includes various types of
non-powered reflector devices used to bend or ricochet electronic
signals between active relay stations or between an active relay station
and a terminal. A passive reflector commonly serves a microwave
communications system. The reflector requires point-to-point
line-of-sight with the connecting relay stations, but does not require
electric power.

[Private Mobile Radio Service (PMRS)]{.underline} means uses supporting
private mobile radio systems primarily for a single entity for mobile
internal communications. PMRS service is not sold to others and is
