## 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 (43 CFR 2800).
In the event of a conflict, between the plan and these sources, the
Federal Register notice and the BLM Handbook will govern.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

RIGHT-OF-WAY GRANT -- A use authorization issued pursuant to Title V of
the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of October 21, 1976 (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.

## Purpose

This plan will be used by BLM officials administering communications
uses at Otay 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 Palm Springs - South Coast
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- 2803
and BLM Handbook 2860-1.

The final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Palm Springs -
Coast Resource Management Plan, RMP dated March 1993, identifies Otay
Mountain as being managed as a communications site.

This communications site management plan updates the most recent prior
management plan which was approved in 1993. This Site Management Plan
provides applicable guidance and adds current policy and technical
standards for better management of the Otay Mountain Communications
Site. This plan governs development and management of Otay Mountain and
will be modified in the future as needs and conditions warrant. Any
future such uses must be designed, installed, operated, and maintained
to be compatible and not interfere with the senior uses as defined in
Appendix B, Lessee Facility Table. This site-specific plan is
administrative in nature and is Categorically Excluded from further
review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (516.DM2,
Appendix 1, 1.7). Any additional development of the site will be
addressed in a site-specific NEPA document.

## Site Description

The site is located on Otay Mountain which is the highest point in the
San Diego area located about 25 air miles southeast of San Diego,
California. The area is managed by the Palm Springs - South Coast Field
Office and the site is specifically located in portions of Sections 13,
14 and 23, T. 18 S., R. 1 E., San Bernardino Meridian, San Diego County,
California, at approximately 32º 35' 41" North Latitude and 116º 50' 40"
West Longitude. The elevation at the Otay Mountain Communications Site
is approximately 3.570 feet above mean sea level.

The communications sites are located between two Wilderness Study Areas
(WSA), the Western and Southern Otay Mountain WSAs. These WSAs encompass
approximately 15,000 acres of public land in the San Ysidro Mountains.
In 1962, the area was also designated as the Otay Mountain National
Cooperative Land and Wildlife Management Area which recognized the area
for development, conservation, utilization, and maintenance of its
natural resources including recreation and wildlife resources. The area
was withdrawn from various forms of disposal but retained its
multiple-use status.

A site map is provided as Appendix A.

## Area Served

This site serves the San Diego Ranally Metro Area (RMA). The population
zone served is between 2,500,000 and 4,999,999 (Zone 2). These zones may
be adjusted in the future as populations change. This information will
be used for rental fee determination.

## Access

Two access routes lead onto the communications site area. One route is
an easterly-westerly direction and is known as the Otay mountain Truck
Trail. The second runs in a northerly-southerly direction and is
referred to as the Minewawa Truck Trail or Thousand Trails Road. In
1990, as a result of a land exchange, the BLM acquired an easement to
provide legal access from the west across Otay Mountain Truck Trail.
Access to the truck trail is via Alta Road, County Road #G 8-1.

## Site History and Development

In 1954, the first communications facility ROW was granted at Otay
Mountain. Initial grants were covered under the Act of March 4, 1911
with rights that may continue until they expire. Since October 21, 1976,
with the passage of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, grants
are issued under this Act. In 1995, the Bureau of Land Management and
Forest Service issued similar policy for the management of
communications uses on public lands and published a national fee
schedule based upon uses and populations served.

On May 25, 1982, the BLM and Forest Service entered into an agreement to
transfer administration of Otay Mountain to the Cleveland National
Forest. The original BLM ROW grants were replaced by Forest Service
Special Use permits. The transfer of management functions on the lands
to the Forest Service required a Public Land Order, PLO, issued by the
Secretary of the Interior. Due in part to controversy of the cancelled
BLM grants and no PLO ever being issued, the agreement was terminated in
1988 and the BLM reassumed management of the site and the original
grants were reinstated.

This plan does not authorize the use of the public land nor does it
alter the rights which are contained in an existing grant until that
grant expires or is otherwise amended by separate decision. This plan
does provide for the management direction on Otay Mountain and will be
fully applicable all facilities at Otay Mountain as they become
authorized by a Communications Use Lease, BLM-2800-18.

A brief history and timeframe for the implementation of all applicable
current policy and regulations is provided for each facility.

San Diego Gas and Electric, SDG&E, received the first ROW grant,
LA-0107219 on November 26, 1954 under the Act of March 4, 1911 for 50
years for a microwave relay and communications site and 10-foot access
road. The lease expired November 25, 2004. The new authorization will be
a FLPMA Communications Use Lease and will be subject to all conditions
of this plan and the current fee schedule. This facility has multiple
users.

James W Smith was issued a ROW grant, LA-0163131 on September 2, 1959
under the Act of March 4, 1911 for 50 years for radio relay and
communications site. The lease expires September 2, 2009. A September
27, 1982 U.S. District Court Settlement agreement set the fee for this
grant at \$2,750 as full payment for the full term of the lease. In
1997, the facilities were sold to American Tower and the lease was
transferred to them. When the lease expires, a lease will be a FLPMA
Communications Use Lease and will be subject to all conditions of this
plan, standards, and the fee schedule in place at that time. The
facility consists of 6 buildings and numerous towers. This is a multiple
user facility.

Meridian Sales and Service was issued a ROW grant, LA-0163654 on
September 11, 1959 under the Act of March 4, 1911 for 50 years for
microwave relay and communications site. The lease expires September 11,
2009. In xxxx this lease was acquired by American Tower. If the facility
is still owned by American Tower, this facility will be included in one
lease along with the facilities granted under LA-0163131. This facility
is a multiple use facility subject to the most recent appraisal fee
structure until the new FLPMA Communications Use Lease is issued. When
the new lease is issued, all conditions of this plan, standards, and
rental schedule in place at that time will be applicable.

Motorola Communications and Electronics Inc. was issued a ROW grant,
LA-0166402 on May 27, 1964 under the Act of March 4, 1911 for 50 years
for radio relay and communications site and access road. The lease
expires May 27, 2014. In xxxx, this facility was acquired by Global
Signal and the lease was transferred to them. This facility is a
multiple use facility subject to the most recent appraisal fee structure
until the new FLPMA Communications Use Lease is issued. When the new
lease is issued, all conditions of this plan, standards, and rental
schedule in place at that time will be applicable.

SANDRA Inc. was issued a ROW grant, CA-6315 on February 22, 1980 under
FLPMA for 10 years for a communications site and 10-foot wide access
road. This ROW grant was renewed in 1990 to expire in February 2000. The
ROW was again renewed in ???? No payment was required according to the
1993 Management Plan. This facility is a multiple use amateur radio
facility. When the current ROW grant expires, a new FLPMA Communications
Use Lease should be issued. When the new lease is issued, all conditions
of this plan, standards, and rental schedule in place at that time will
be applicable.

NASA was issued a ROW grant in perpetuity on December 21, 1981 for a
communications site and access. The FBI has assumed ownership and use of
these facilities.

Immigration and Naturalization Service, now the Department of Homeland
Security was issued a ROW grant in perpetuity on November 23, 1983.

The Border Patrol assumed the use and ownership of one of the original
NASA buildings at the site and has been authorized to replace the
facility with a new building and tower. The US Navy has a temporary
trailer and antenna mounted on the fence at the site. This facility will
be removed and the use incorporated into the new Border Patrol facility.

Frank Gifford was issued a ROW grant, R-05105 on July 6, 1964 for a
radio relay and communications site with a 20-foot wide road under the
act of March 4, 1911 for 50 years. The lease expires July 6, 2014. In
1997, this facility was destroyed by a wildland fire. A hardship request
for a waiver or reduction in fees was applied for in 1998. This issue
was never resolved. Pacific Telephone was authorized to construct a
telephone terminus facility at the site. Frank Gifford assumed ownership
of the new building and tower following legal actions. This facility is
a currently a single user facility subject to the most recent appraisal
fee structure until the new FLPMA Communications Use Lease is issued.
When the new lease is issued, all conditions of this plan, standards,
and rental schedule in place at that time will be applicable.

Dean Hovey -- Palomar Communications was issued a ROW grant, R-05459 on
April 17, 1968 for a radio and communication site under the Act of March
3, 1011 for 50 years. The access road to the site is/should be a
separate FLPMA grant. This facility is a currently a multiple user
facility subject to the most recent appraisal fee structure until the
new FLPMA Communications Use Lease is issued. When the new lease is
issued, all conditions of this plan, standards, and rental schedule in
place at that time will be applicable.

Gifford Engineering Inc. was issued a ROW grant, CA-4874 on January 12,
1979 for a communication facility and 10-foot wide access road for 30
years under FLPMA. In 1997, this facility was destroyed by a wildland
fire. A hardship request for a waiver or reduction in fees was applied
for in 1998. This issue was never resolved. Pacific Telephone was
authorized to construct a telephone terminus facility at the site. The
facility was rebuilt. This facility is a currently a multiple user
facility subject to the most recent appraisal fee structure until the
new FLPMA Communications Use Lease is issued. When the new lease is
issued, all conditions of this plan, standards, and rental schedule in
place at that time will be applicable.

Other rights-of-way for linear features and utilities in the area
include:

R-433 BLM and CDF 300-foot international firebreak and access road under
44 LD 513.

LA-0169272 San Diego Gas and Electric 50-foot transmission line under
FLPMA.

March 4, 1911.

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 Palm Springs -
South Coast Field Office according to the appropriate NEPA process and
guidance described in this document.

## Goals and Objectives of Site Management Plan

1\. Manage the Otay Mountain Site for two-way radio, microwave, and
other non-broadcast uses. All uses must be designed, operated and
maintained so as not to materially or electronically interfere with the
senior uses.

2\. Manage communication equipment on the Otay 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\. Present a program for future growth, development and operation
within the site which is consistent with California Desert Conservation
Area Management Plan. See section VI General Operation and Maintenance
Direction; A. Unique Resource Considerations at this Communications Site
(Page 10).

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

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

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

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

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

10\. Develop new facilities only after the appropriate site-specific
NEPA analysis and coordination with current lease or ROW holders and
users. This future development must be consistent with the California
Desert Conservation Management Plan.

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

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

## Authority

BLM's authority to authorize communications uses on public land
(administered by the BLM) is granted by the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976, 90 Stat. 2776 (43 U.S. C. 1761-1771) and is
reflected in Title 43, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Sections 2801-
2803 and BLM Washington Office Information Bulletin 98-23.

BLM's guidance for communications site management planning is contained
in BLM Handbook 2801-1, and 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
THE SITE PLAN ARE ENFORCED THROUGH THE GRANTING AUTHORIZATION.** Each
lessee or holder is expected to include the requirements of the
authorization and the site plan into any documents, which describe the
business relationship between the lessee or holder's and their tenants
and customers. The lessee or holder is responsible for enforcing those
provisions.

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

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

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

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 (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 Palm Springs - South Coast Field Office Planning
    Documents; any environmental document(s)/decisions for the site;
    and, this site plan.

3.  Ensuring facilities/equipment not complying with Federal/State/local
    laws/regulations/ ordinances will be removed or modified 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.  Adhering to the Facility Owner/Facility Manager Lease/ROW as
    follows:

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

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

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

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

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

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

8.  Ensuring that all communication equipment meets American National
    Standards Institute (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 47 CFR sections 1.1307(b),
        1.1310 and 2.1093 and FCC Office of Engineering and Technology
        (OET) Bulletin 54, August 1999).

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

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

11. Placing the BLM lease/ROW serial number on the door of their
    communications site building. The serial number must be on the tower
    if the tower is owned separately from the building.

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

## 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.

##  {#section .unnumbered}

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

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

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

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

1.  Space is not available;

2.  The use is incompatible with the existing facilities;

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

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

5.  Potential interference is not resolvable.

Each 1911 Grant will be converted to a FLPMA Communications Use Lease,
BLM 2800-18 as they expire or if requested by the holder as well as any
older ROW Grants issued under FLPMA but prior to 1996. The BLM will
charge the appropriate fee based upon the most recent uncontested
appraisal until the old rants expire. Once the new Communications Use
Leases are issued, the BLM will charge Facility Owners and Facility
Managers annual rental fees based on the Fee Schedule for Communications
Uses on Public Lands, as adjusted annually. These fees will be fair
market value for the use of public land. The population Zone 2 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

> [Otay Mountain WSA]{.underline}
>
> The communications site is surrounded by the Otay Mountain Wilderness
> Study Areas. All activities and any future improvements will be
> managed to minimize material or visual impacts to the surrounding WSA.

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

## Wiring and Grounding 

> 1\. All equipment is to be installed within existing buildings and on
> equipment racks that are grounded and shielded. Grounding is to be
> installed in accordance with accepted standards.
>
> 2\. All electrical wiring and grounding must meet the "National
> Electrical Code" and applicable estate codes. All permanent wiring
> shall be installed in metallic conduit. Surge protection shall be
> installed on all power distribution panels.
>
> 3\. Lightening 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. High power operations should use copper strap bonding in
> accordance with manufacturers specifications. The grounding systems
> shall comply with applicable laws, codes and in accordance with
> standard engineering practice. Below ground connections must use
> either an exothermic welding process (i.e. Cadweld, Thermoweld, etc.),
> copper wedge pressure devices (i.e. Ampact, Wrench-lock, etc.), or
> brazed copper connections in conjunction with a mechanical UL listed
> connector (to be used as a physical strength enhancement component).
> Brazing by itself is not an acceptable method of bonding below earth
> grade (buried).

## Communications Equipment 

[Equipment Ownership]{.underline}

All equipment shall be labeled with:

1.  The owner's name;

2.  Transmitter frequency(ies);

3.  A valid FCC, or IRAC, authorization (available upon request or
    inspection) ;

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 to other users. All transmitters shall be FCC type accepted
or meet type acceptance criteria.

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

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.

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.

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

[Tower]{.underline}

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

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

2.  Maximum tower height for this site is 180 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
    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 ten (10) feet in diameter.
    The smallest diameter dishes are preferred if technically feasible.
    Dishes should be mounted as low as possible to reduce the visual
    impact.

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

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

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

[Interference]{.underline}

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

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

Interference with law enforcement and/or emergency communications must
be corrected immediately. The operation of equipment covered by this
site plan shall not interfere with United States Government radio or
electronic operations already in existence 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.

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 these monitoring reports will be provided to
the BLM within 30 days of its completion. The FCC is responsible for
enforcement of the monitoring and standardization for compliance. The
FCC could revoke the license and/or issue a fine for failure to comply.
Additionally the BLM could terminate or suspend the use authorization
for failure to comply.

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

Security fences with RFR notice signs are required around areas that
exceed public use levels 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.

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

Any identified RFR 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 separate ROW grants to
San Diego Gas and Electric.

[Telephone Service]{.underline}

Pacific Bell provides commercial telephone lines to some facilities at
this site.

If additional service is ever deemed necessary, site users will pay for
the cost of:

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

2.  The cost of constructing service connections.

For visual reasons, overhead utility poles are generally not authorized.

[Fuel Tanks]{.underline}

All 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. 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. 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

> 1\. 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 Kern County
> Health Department.

## Security and Law Enforcement 

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

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

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

## 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.

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

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

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

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

## Inspections

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

a.  Compliance with technical standards.

b.  Structural integrity.

c.  As-built plan accuracy.

d.  Electromagnetic compatibility.

e.  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:

a.  A description of the violation.

b.  Corrective action required.

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

d.  Time allowed for completion of corrective measures.

e.  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 maintain
vegetation within the fenced area around their facilities. Pursuant to
State of California Public Resource Code 4291, they shall be required to
remove and clear away, all flammable vegetation or other combustible
growth from around their facilities. Gravel or mineral soil (i.e. bare
ground) must be maintained to a minimum of (30) feet clearance around
buildings and a minimum of (30) 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 structure 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 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 San Diego 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.

## Access Maintenance and Restrictions

[Roads]{.underline}

The entire access road is a County Roads or roads on public lands.

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
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.

## 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 Palm Springs - South Coast 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 Palm
Springs - South Coast 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 for this site. All lease and
ROW holders would be encouraged to join the association. The goal of the
association will 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 BLM Palm Springs - South Coast
Field Office on matters relating to the site administration. The
association will 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
