## 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"
(available at:
<http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/01jan20051800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2005/pdf/05-7501.pdf>)

and clarifications provided in Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Handbook
2860-1 and the United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 43 CFR
2800. In the event of a conflict, between the plan and these sources,
the Federal Register notice and the BLM Handbook will govern.

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

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

LESSEE, 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 Gobbler\'s Knob 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 (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 Gobbler\'s Knob, 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 Uncompahgre 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 2800 and BLM
Handbook 2860-1.

The site is identified in the San Juan/San Miguel RMP approved in 1985,
as amended. []{.mark}

Prior communications site management plans have not been developed for
Gobbler\'s Knob. This Site Management Plan provides applicable guidance
and adds current policy and technical standards for better management of
the Gobbler\'s Knob Communications Site. This plan governs development
and management of Gobbler\'s Knob 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 subject to the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA), therefore an Environmental Assessment has been prepared and
a Finding of No Significant Impact and Decision Record has been approved
to support the decisions in this plan. Any additional development of the
site will be addressed in a site-specific NEPA document.

## Site Description

The site is located on Gobbler\'s Knob, which is located north of
Highway 90 in the Paradox Valley west of Naturita, Colorado. The area is
managed by the Uncompahgre Field Office and the site is specifically
located in SE¼NE¼, the Section 12, T. 46 N., R. 17 W., New Mexico
Principle Meridian at approximately 38º 15' 18" North Latitude and 108º
41' 21" West Longitude (NAD 83). The elevation at the Gobbler\'s Knob
Communications Site is approximately 6,848 feet above mean sea level. A
Communication Site Plat is provided as Appendix A.

## Area Served

This site does not serve a Ranally Metro Area (RMA). The population zone
served is less than 25,000 (Zone 9). These zones may be adjusted in the
future as population change. This information will be used for rental
fee determination.

## Access

Access to Gobbler\'s Knob is from State Highway 90 approximately 8 miles
west of Naturita, Colorado. To access the site, follow Long Park Road,
County Road EE22, a native material road, to the north for approximately
4 miles. Then north and then south on a secondary road for approximately
1.5 miles, to the top of the mesa and the communication site.

## Site History and Development

In 1981, the first communications facility ROW on Gobbler\'s Knob was
granted to Montrose County, now the Rocky Mountain Public Broadcasting
Network for broadcast translator facilities.

In 1984, a facility ROW was granted to XYZ Television, now Hoak Media of
Colorado for broadcast translators facilities.

In 1995, Nucla Naturita Telephone Company was authorized a facility for
rural radio telephone services from this site.

Montrose County was authorized a new facility in 2006 for its 800 Mhz
trunked radio repeater and will also house all the equipment previously
contained in the Rocky Mountain facility which will then be removed.

A list of all facilities, including tenants and customers, as of the
date of this plan can be found in Appendix B.

Space appears to be available in the existing buildings and towers to
serve this area for the current demand. Any modifications to existing
facilities or proposals for new facilities must be approved by the
Uncompahgre Field Office according to the appropriate NEPA process and
guidance described in this document.

## Goals and Objectives of Site Management Plan

1\. Manage the Gobbler\'s Knob Site for non-broadcast, and broadcast
uses within the Operation and Maintenance guidelines within this plan.
All uses must be designed, operated and maintained so as not to
materially or electronically interfere with the existing uses.

2\. Manage communication equipment on the Gobbler\'s Knob Site to
maintain the radio frequency (RF) hazard to be within the Public and
Occupational 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 the San Juan/San Miguel RMP
approved in 1985, as amended.

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 San Juan/San
Miguel RMP. []{.mark}

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

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

## 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), 2800 and BLM
Washington Office Information Bulletin 98-23.

BLM authority for communications site management planning is contained
in BLM Handbook 2801-1, Plan of Development and H-2860-1, Communication
Site Rights-of-way. 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.

5.  Notifying existing users at the site of any proposed new uses and
    provide for a 30-day comment period. If the new use(s) is opposed
    based on proven technical merits and the technical issues cannot be
    resolved, the BLM will deny the proposed new use(s).

## 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 Uncompahgre 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. 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 ANSI, FCC and BLM
    regulations, guidelines and standards concerning radiation
    limitations by:

    a.  Monitoring radiation levels at their facility and;

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

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.

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.

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

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 9 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

Gobbler's Knob is a prominence of cliff faces high above the Paradox
Valley. No unique resource considerations have previously been
identified at this communications site, however, visual resources will
need to be protected from State Highway 90. Future uses will need to
consider the color, context and form on the landscape.

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

The following are the current FCC licensed broadcast uses at the
Gobbler's Knob site:

  ---------------------- --------------------------- ---------------------
  Licensee               Facility Type               ERP

## 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/local codes. All permanent
> wiring shall be installed in metallic conduit. Surge protection shall
> be installed on all power distribution panels.
>
> 3\. Lightening protection shall be in accordance with NEC part 810-20
> Antenna Discharge Units and part 810-21 Grounding Conductors. Periodic
> bonding of the down conductor to the tower (Galvanized) steel shall be
> made with proper bonding connectors that are tin plated or made of
> brass.
>
> 4\. Each building is to have its own separate grounding system for all
> users in that structure. Wherever practical, interconnection of
> individual grids and/or the simultaneous placement of a large sized
> copper ground wire with any new grounding systems that are buried on
> the site will be required.
>
> 5\. Site or facility grounding must be constructed of copper, with #2
> AWG or larger wire or 2" or larger solid copper strap, connected to an
> adequate site/facility ground electrode system. The site/facility
> ground electrode system shall be bonded to the power service entrance
> grounding electrode conductor. Guy wires should also be grounded using
> manufacturers approved methods to preclude bi-metallic junction and
> corrosion. All equipment on the site (buildings, towers, power units,
> transmitters, receivers, antennas, combiners, telephone systems, power
> cabinets, HVAC units, etc) must be connected to the site/facility
> ground by direct connection. Electrical system ground wiring is
> required for electrical ground fault protection and circuit breaker
> coordination. 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 IRAF, authorization;

4.  Transmitting power output(s); and

5.  A current 24-hour phone contact number.

[Transmitting Equipment]{.underline}

Each existing use must operate at or below the power level authorized by
their respective FCC license as of the date of this plan.

The BLM manual, H-2860-1, Communication Site Right-of-Way Handbook (Rel.
2-268, dated 3/29/90) states that "mixed low power (less than 1000 watts
ERP) and high power (1000 watts ERP and greater) use of a site often
creates severe interference problems for low power users, and generally
is advisable to separate the two types of uses". The existing uses at
Gobbler's Knob are all less than 1000 watts ERP. Future and existing
uses at Gobbler's Knob will be limited to less than 1000 watts ERP in
order to attempt to maintain site integrity for existing users.

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).

Direct radiation of out-of-bound emissions, (i.e. transmitter wide band
noise, spurious emissions, harmonics, etc.) shall 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)). 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. If site noise (electromagnetic noise) becomes an
issue, noise threshold limits will be established, and amended into the
site plan.

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 to prevent receiver-produced intermodulation or
adjacent-channel interference is recommended at the input of all
receiving devices. Use of a notch type device is not permitted.

[Tower]{.underline}

1.  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.

2.  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.

3.  Maximum tower height for this site is 60 feet. Towers must be
    designed to meet on site wind and icing conditions estimated to be
    70 mph with 1 inch ice and otherwise meet the EIA/TIA-222 standards.

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

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

6.  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 dish that is technically feasible is the
    preferred.

2.  All antennas must meet all 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. All site uses 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 regulations.

New users on a site must correct, at their expense, interference
problems that they create. They may be required to furnish an
intermodulation study, electromagnetic noise study, or other
interference-related data and 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 cables onto a tower, conduits should be used and cable
runs should be equally divided among all tower legs.

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

Double shielded braided, or solid shielded cable will be used. No RG-8
type cable is permitted. No connector-type adapters will be used on
transmission lines. Only correct connectors that will mate to connected
devices are to be used.

Conduits will be shared when they service common areas and will be
buried where possible.

## Radiation

All communications uses must meet ANSI, FCC and 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 upon request. The FCC is responsible for enforcement of the
monitoring and standardization for compliance. The FCC could revoke the
license and/or issue a fine for failure to comply. Additionally the BLM
could terminate or suspend the use authorization for failure to comply.

Onsite RFR measurements will be taken using appropriate equipment that
can adequately measure 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. 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 radiation problems that are, or could be, a human
health hazard must be corrected within 24 hours after measurement tests
have been completed or be removed from the site by the site user(s). If
the proposed corrective action involves any new ground disturbance, it
must be pre-approved by the BLM. RF Safety Plan(s) will be developed for
the site as determined necessary by the FCC or the BLM.

## Utilities-Availability of and Requirements for:

[Commercial Electrical Power]{.underline}

Commercial power is provided to the site under separate ROW grants, COC
31653, to San Miguel Power Association.

[Telephone Service]{.underline}

No commercial telephone lines are provided to the 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, new overhead utility poles may not be authorized.
Underground powerlines would be preferred at this site

[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 Montrose
> County Health Department.

## Security and Law Enforcement 

The Montrose 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 Montrose 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 Gobbler\'s Knob 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 currently cleared area around their facilities.
Gravel or mineral soil (i.e. bare ground) must be maintained to a
minimum of (10) feet clearance around buildings and a minimum of (10)
feet clearance around any propane tanks. Identified threatened,
endangered, or sensitive plant species must remain within the minimum
clearance areas.

Smoking is prohibited in flammable vegetation areas.

Roof 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 Montrose 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.

The Facility Owners and Facility Managers shall maintain batteries in
accordance with manufactures specifications to prevent corrosion, leaks,
spills, and other case damage immediately around each battery and from
spilling on the floor. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) shall be
posted in a visible location inside the storage facility. All MSDS
recommendations shall be followed by the Facility Owners and Facility
Managers to eliminate possibility of leaks, spills, and unnecessary
personnel exposures. All batteries and contents shall be treated as
hazardous waste and proper disposal methods shall be followed for
recycling and disposal.

## Access Maintenance and Restrictions

[Roads]{.underline}

To access the site, off State Highway 90, follow Long Park Road, County
Road EE22, a native material road, to the north for approximately 4
miles. Then north and then south on a secondary road for approximately
1.5 miles, to the top of the mesa and the communication site. Some of
the site users have been maintaining the secondary road from County Road
EE22 to the communication site. The new communication site lease
recently granted to the County of Montrose included this segment of
road. This plan now makes the operation and maintenance of the access
road from County Road EE22 to the communication site the responsibility
of each right-of-way or lease holder. Once a Site User's Association is
established, they should direct the operation and maintenance of this
road.

This access road (illustrated on the Communication Site Plat)
right-of-way is 3700 feet long and not to exceed 30 feet in width. The
road shall be maintained to a minimum road standard. The holders shall
maintain the road in a safe, usable condition, as directed by the
authorized officer. A regular maintenance program shall include, but is
not limited to blading, and ditching, and culvert installation and
surfacing as determined necessary.

The holders shall be responsible for weed control on dis­turbed areas
within the limits of the road right-of-way. The holders are responsible
for consultation with the authorized officer and/or local authorities
for acceptable weed control methods.

No construction or routine maintenance activities shall be performed
during periods when the soil is too wet to adequately support
construction equipment. If such equipment creates ruts in excess of
4-inches inches deep, the soil shall be deemed too wet to adequately
support construction equipment. The road shall be constructed and
maintained to provide drainage and minimize erosion. Culverts or
low-water crossings shall be installed as necessary to maintain
drainage.

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 Uncompahgre 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 Uncompahgre
Field Office, Authorized Officer, within 90 days of acceptance of
structure (if contracted) or of completion date.

## New or Remodeled/Expanded Buildings

1.  All new construction, reconstruction, and modifications to building
    will be pre-approved by the BLM prior to implementation.

2.  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. New buildings shall be constructed to meet Uniform
    Building Codes (UBC) and be fire resistant.

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

4.  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.

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

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

> b\. Walls -- Concrete block, metal or pre-fabricated concrete.
>
> c\. Roof -- Metal, or concrete, painted to eliminate shiny surfaces,
> or other fireproof material as approved by the BLM.
>
> d\. Partitions -- If partitions are necessary in buildings, ensure
> they are constructed with fire resistant material (e.g., concrete
> block, reinforced concrete, sheetrock, 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.
>
> f\. Prefabricated building may be authorized with prior approval by
> the BLM.

6.  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. Towers must be designed to meet on site
    wind and icing conditions estimated to be 70 mph with 1 inch ice and
    otherwise meet the EIA/TIA-222 standards.

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

A Site Users' Association should be formed for this site. All lease and
right-of-way holders must 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 Uncompahgre 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 could be a member of such a
group and could help jointly develop the charter (i.e., the ground
rules). The charter is subject to BLM approval.
