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

Demand for new communication sites continues to be active in the United
States including carrier requests to locate cellular facilities on
public lands in the western states. This demand is due to advances in
communication technology, strong consumer interest, and a 1983 Federal
Communication Commission (FCC) decree establishing wireless carrier
coverage requirements.

Scrub Peak is an established communication site with characteristics
desired by government agencies and commercial mobile service providers.
The site is well suited to provide communication coverage for a three
state area of county governments. In addition, the communication site
overlooks a substantial segment of Interstate 15 and is within about 15
miles of both St. George and Mesquite, NV. The small communities around
St. George and Mesquite are also growing rapidly, and the number of
potential communication sites in the area is limited. It is expected
that the Scrub Peak site will become more attractive to various
communication uses as the area grows. In addition, a number of state
highways and other secondary roads also run through the surrounding
area.

This Communication Site Management Plan has been developed to document
and evaluate the existing communication site and facilities located on
Scrub Peak. The plan also provides an outline for orderly future
development of the site in conformance with the St. George Field
Office's current land use planning document, the St. George Resource
Management Plan (RMP).

Current BLM program guidance for resource management planning specifies
that every planning document shall contain determinations relevant to
communication sites. The St. George RMP, approved in March of 1999,
(LD-17) states: "Scrub Peak will be added to the four existing
communication sites at West Mountain, Little Creek Mountain, South
Rockville, and Black Ridge north of Toquerville as shown on Map 2-2. To
the extent practical, new uses will be required to share site facilities
to reduce impacts and lessen the need for additional sites....". The RMP
designates Scrub Peak as an authorized site but does not provide many
details concerning management of the communication site. Therefore, this
site management plan has been prepared in accordance with Plan
Implementation guidelines contained on page 1.7 of the Record of
Decision and RMP to address specific issues encountered on Scrub Peak.

Approved lessees or right-of-way holders with facilities currently
located on Scrub Peak are shown in the Users' Table, Appendix B.
Additional tenants or customers may be accommodated within the confines
of existing authorized communication facilities as long as such
additions are in compliance with the terms and conditions of authorized
leases or right-of-way grants and with the supplemental direction
contained in this site plan. Requests for new communication site
facilities may be authorized at the discretion of BLM's Authorized
Officer through the issuance of new Communications Use Leases, or in
some cases, by the issuance of additional right-of-way grants.

This site plan will be incorporated into all new leases issued for the
Scrub Peak Communication Site and, where possible, existing leases. The
plan will also be included in any renewed leases or right-of-way grants.
Provisions of the site plan are enforced through the terms and
conditions of the right-of-way or lease authorization. Each lessee is
expected to incorporate mandatory BLM lease and site plan requirements
into any subsequent agreements with the lessee's tenants and customers.
The lessee is also responsible for enforcement of said requirements
involving the lessee's tenants and customers.

## Terms and Definitions

The terms used in this communications site management plan conform to
the definitions listed in the April 22, 2005, Federal Register notice
"Rights-of-Way, Principles and Procedures: Rights-of-Way under the
Federal Land Policy and Management Act and the Mineral Leasing Act",
with further clarification provided in Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
Handbook 2860-1 and the United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
43 CFR 2800. In the event of a conflict, between the plan and these
sources, the Federal Register notice and the BLM Handbook will govern.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

FACILITY OWNER -- Individuals, commercial entities, organizations, or
agencies, that own a communications facility on Federal land; own and
operate their own communications equipment; and hold a communications
use authorization. Facility owners may or may not lease space in the
facility to other communications users.

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

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

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

RIGHT-OF-WAY GRANT -- A use authorization issued pursuant to Title V of
the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of October 21, 1976 (43
U.S.C. 1701 *et seq.*) or issued on or before October 21, 1976, pursuant
to then existing statutory authority, authorizing the use of a ROW over,
upon, under or through public land for construction, operation,
maintenance and termination of a project.

HOLDER -- Any applicant who has received a ROW grant, lease or temporary
use permit.

USERS -- All ROW and lease holders, lessees, customers, and tenants that
own or operate a facility or communication equipment at the
communication site.

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

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

## Purpose

This plan will be used by BLM officials administering communications
uses at Scrub Peak, existing lessees, holders, and applicants desiring a
lease, grant, or an amendment to an existing lease or ROW grant. The
plan will be kept updated by amending pages or sections of the plan
rather than issuing a revised edition of the plan. When an
administrative revision is necessary (such as the addition of a user), a
letter to the holders from the St. George Field Office enclosing a copy
of revised pages or sections will amend the plan. The amendments will be
consecutively numbered. Other proposed revisions to the plan will be
circulated to holders for comment prior to implementation.

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

The 1999 St. George RMP, as amended, states public lands will continue
to be available for a variety of rights-of-way where consistent with
planning goals and prescriptions for other resources. Where possible,
BLM will encourage project sponsors to locate new rights-of-way in
existing or designated sites or utility and transportation corridors.
Moreover, proposals will be evaluated under requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act and other applicable laws for resource
protection. All new rights-of-way will be subject to applicable
standards listed in Appendix 1 of the RMP for surface disturbing
activities. Scrub Peak is in an area open to rights-of-way and is one of
five sites designated in the RMP. The plan states that to the extent
practical, new users will be required to share site facilities to reduce
impacts and to lessen the need for additional sites.

This Site Management Plan provides applicable guidance and adds current
policy and technical standards for better management of the Scrub Peak
Communications Site. This plan governs development and management of
Scrub Peak and will be modified in the future as needs and conditions
warrant. Any future such uses must be designed, installed, operated, and
maintained to be compatible and not interfere with the senior uses as
defined in Section A above. This site-specific plan is administrative in
nature and is Categorically Excluded from further review under the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in accordance with 516.DM 2,
Appendix 1, item 1.10, which states " -- Policies, directives,
regulations, and guidelines that are of an administrative, financial,
legal, technical, or procedural in nature and whose environmental
effects are too broad, speculative, or conjectural to lend themselves to
meaningful analysis and will later be subject to the NEPA process,
either collectively or case-by-case". Any additional development of
Scrub Peak will be subject to NEPA and addressed in site-specific
documents.

## Site Description

The site is located approximately 14.2 miles west of St. George, Utah
and approximately 7 miles north of Interstate 15 as the highway passes
through the extreme northwest corner of Arizona. It is on Scrub Peak, a
prominent landmark in the area. The area is managed by the St. George
Field Office. It is specifically located in the SW¼SW¼ of sec. 12, T. 43
S., R. 18W., Salt Lake Base Meridian, Washington County, Utah at
approximately 37º 04' 04" North Latitude and 113º 49' 19" West
Longitude. The elevation at the Scrub Peak Communications Site is
approximately 6,710 feet above mean sea level. A site map is provided as
Appendix A.

## Area Served

This site serves a Ranally Metro Area (RMA) Zone 7, with a population
between 50,000 and 99,999 persons. These zones may be adjusted in the
future as population change. This information will be used for rental
fee determination.

## Access

From Ivins, UT, travel west on Highway 91 approximately 21 miles to
unsurfaced "Bulldog Road" turnoff which leads to the Woodbury Desert
Wilderness Study Area. Travel east on this road approximately 6.2 miles
to an unnamed, unsurfaced road heading north to Scrub Peak. Travel north
up this road approximately 3.4 miles to the Scrub Peak Communication
Site. The final leg of this road is very hazardous and suited to 4WD
vehicles only.

## Site History and Development

There are currently two communications facilities at Scrub Peak. On July
28, 1992, the first private mobile radio communications facility was
granted to the Mohave County Sheriff under serial number UTU-67111. The
County has since subleased space in the facility to BLM, the Dixie
Escalante Rural Electric Assn., Mohave County Public Works, and an
amateur radio operator.

The second facility on the mountaintop was authorized to the Beaver Dam
Fire Department under serial number UTU-79727 on May 1, 2002. The fire
department has leased space to the US Park Service. All uses on the site
are for private mobile radio use.

As of the approval date of this plan, other communications uses have
been proposed for Scrub Peak including Autotel, a commercial mobile
radio operator. This proposed use is being evaluated by the St. George
Field Office, and this plan will be amended to reflect BLM's decision on
this proposed use at a later date.

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 St. George Field
Office according to the appropriate NEPA process and guidance described
in this document.

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

## Goals and Objectives of Site Management Plan

1\. This site is to be used for low power communications uses only. The
maximum power output expressed as effective radiated power (ERP) for the
Scrub Peak Communications Site is based on the maximum output allowed
for two-way radio under the Federal Communications Commission's rules at
Title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 90. As of the 2003
regulation, that is 500 watts ERP. Each use must operate at or below the
power level authorized by their respective FCC license as long as it
does not exceed the site limitation. This power limitation does not
preclude existing and new uses from being designed, operated and
maintained to meet other interference, noise floor, receive sensitivity,
or RFR standards included in this plan. No continuously transmitting
uses are authorized at this site, excluding microwave, interconnected
CMRS uses, and trunked public safety systems.

2\. Manage communication equipment on the Scrub Peak site to maintain
the radio frequency (RF) hazard to be within the Public Standard as
defined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

3\. Systematically develop the site to maximize the number of compatible
uses while ensuring safety and protection of resources. Development of
new towers or buildings within each of the authorized owner's facilities
will be authorized only after their respective tower or building space
area is filled to near capacity.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

11\. Ensure new applicants do not interfere with the operability of
existing facilities at the Site.

12\. Ensure a "Defensable Space" free of vegetation and flammable debris
is maintained around the perimeter of the Site.

13\. Facilitate the formation of a "Site Users Association" to assist
the BLM and ROW holders in future dispute resolution, road maintenance
and site management.

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

## Authority

The authority used by BLM to authorize communications uses on public
land (administered by the BLM) is the Federal Land Policy and Management
Act of 1976, 90 Stat. 2776 (43 U.S. C. 1761-1771) and is reflected in
Title 43, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Sections 2801- 2808 and
various BLM Washington Office Information Bulletins and Instruction
Memoranda.

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

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

## Relationship to Communications Site Leases/ROW Grants

This site plan will be incorporated into all leases and ROW grants
issued (now and/or in the future) for this communications site and must
be used in conjunction with the granting authorization. **PROVISIONS OF
THIS SITE PLAN ARE ENFORCED THROUGH THE GRANTING AUTHORIZATION (LEASE OR
ROW GRANT).** Each lessee or holder is expected to include the
requirements of the authorization and this site plan into any documents,
which describe the business relationship between the lessee and their
tenants and customers. The lessee or holder is responsible for enforcing
those provisions.

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

## The Bureau of Land Management 

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

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

2.  Approving amendments to existing facilities (i.e. additions to
    tower, antenna, equipment or building), and approving assignments of
    leases and ROW grants to qualified buyers of facilities on the site.

3.  Approving any modifications to existing facilities including the
    tower, antenna, equipment or building. Also, approving any changes
    to the existing FCC licenses, prior to the submission of an
    application to the FCC.

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

## Facility Owners and Facility Managers

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

1.  Complying with their use authorization and all provisions of this
    site plan.

2.  Ensuring that all new facilities, expansions, or improvements are
    consistent with the St. George Field Office land use planning
    documents; any environmental document(s)/decisions for the site;
    and, this site plan.

3.  Ensuring facilities/equipment not complying with Federal/State/local
    laws/regulations/ ordinances will be removed or modified within one
    year of the approval of this plan. Any modification needs
    pre-approval by the BLM.

4.  Keeping all facilities within the established limits of their
    authorized area.

5.  Providing the BLM with the name, address and phone number for a
    local contact person. The Facility Owner and Facility Manager and
    the contact person may be the same individual. The contact person
    will be available for emergencies and will have the authority to
    make decisions about construction issues, facility maintenance and
    all equipment within the facility.

6.  Providing 30-day notice to all facility owners/facility managers at
    the site, as well as the BLM, of all new frequencies proposed for
    the site. A completed BLM technical data sheet or equivalent must be
    sent with the 30-day notice to allow for comment of potential
    interference. Proof of service to other facility owners/managers
    must be provided to BLM upon request. This notification requirement
    applies to new frequencies for facility owners/facility managers as
    well as their tenants and customers

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    a.  Monitoring radiation levels at their facility and;

    b.  Immediately correcting any radiation levels that are, or could
        be a hazard to human health. (FCC 47CFR sections 1.1307(b),
        1.1310 and 2.1093) and FCC OET Bulletin 65, August 1997.

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

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

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

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

## FCC and NTIA/IRAC

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

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

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

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

BLM will not authorize a ROW expansion or modification until it is
determined that existing authorized space and facilities are being used
to capacity. Development or expansion of a ROW solely to preclude
potential competitors from locating nearby is unacceptable and will not
be authorized by the BLM.

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

1.  Space is not available;

2.  The use is incompatible with the existing facilities;

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

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

5.  Potential interference is not resolvable.

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

The BLM will charge Facility Owners and Facility Managers annual rental
fees pursuant to federal regulations contained in 43 CFR 2806. The fees
are based on two factors- the type of communications use, and the
population served by the use. These fees are considered fair market
value for the use of public land. The population Zone 7 (50,000 to
99,999) on the BLM Rental Fee Schedule will be used for these
calculations unless something else is specifically agreed to in writing
by the authorizing officer or until populations change.

Fees that Facility Owners and Facility Managers may charge their tenants
and customers are to be reasonable (consistent with, and not in excess
of, other fees for similar facilities) and commensurate with the uses
and occupancy of the facilities and services provided to tenants and
customers.

## Unique Resource Considerations at this Communication Site

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

## Wiring and Grounding 

> 1\. All equipment is to be installed within existing buildings and in

> copper wedge pressure devices (i.e. Ampact, Burndy, Wrench-lock,
> etc.), or brazed copper connections in conjunction with a mechanical
> UL listed connector (to be used as a physical strength enhancement
> component). Brazing by itself is not an acceptable method of bonding
> below earth grade (buried).

## Communications Equipment 

[Equipment Ownership]{.underline}

All equipment shall be labeled (or the information available at the
site, as applicable) with:

1.  The owner's name;

2.  Transmitter frequency(ies);

3.  A valid FCC, or IRAF, authorization;

4.  Transmitting power output(s); and

5.  A current 24-hour phone contact number.

[Transmitting Equipment]{.underline}

All transmitters will have protective devices (shields, filters,
isolation components), designed into or externally installed, to prevent
interference with other users. All transmitters must meet FCC licensing
requirements, including narrow-banding requirements. Two-way
transmitters should have dual section isolators for a total of 60 db of
isolation.

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

The direct radiation of out-of-band emissions (i.e. noise or spurious
harmonics) will be reduced to a level such that they may not be
identified as a source of interference as defined in the FCC Rules and
Regulations (e.g. Part 90.209(e)). If site noise (electromagnetic noise)
becomes an issue, noise threshold limits will be established, and
amended into the site plan, prior to authorizing any new uses.

Direct radiation of out-of-bound emissions, (i.e. transmitter wide band
noise, spurious emissions, harmonics, etc.) shall be reduced to a
noninterference level by using bandpass, lowpass, and/or harmonic
filtering. Where duplexing is used, use of a notch type device should be
avoided. In situations where a notch type or a hybrid device is used, a
bandpass filter must be used with the transmitter.

Band-reject filtering may be required in certain applications.

Re-radiation of signals from a transmitter and its associated antenna
system shall be prevented by installing appropriate devices (i.e.
ferrite isolators), with minimum return loss of 25 db.

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

[Receiving Equipment]{.underline}

All receivers shall comply with all applicable parts of the FCC rules,
including Parts 2 and 15.

All receivers shall have sufficient "front end" pre-selection to prevent
receiver spurious response. The use of bandpass, band-reject cavity or
crystal filters may be required to prevent receiver-produced
intermodulation or adjacent-channel interference.

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

[Tower]{.underline}

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

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

2.  Maximum tower height for future towers at this site is 60 feet.
    However, the BLM Authorized Officer may allow towers higher than 60
    feet if the applicant can adequately show that such height is in the
    public interest.

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

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

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

[Antennas]{.underline}

1.  Microwave (dish) antennas (other than ground mounted satellite
    dishes) will be limited to a maximum of eight (8) feet in diameter.
    The smallest diameter dishes are preferred if technically feasible.

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

3.  All antennas must meet all OSHA safety standards. If an antenna
    exceeds FCC public or occupational radiation standards (see FCC OET
    Bulletin 65), it will be remedied within 24 hours after measurements
    are taken or isolated (e.g., fencing, signing, relocation, lowering
    power levels are all possible remedies). Ground measurements of
    radio frequency radiation (RFR) levels will be taken before
    mitigation measures are implemented.

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

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

[Interference]{.underline}

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

New users on a site must correct, at their expense, interference
problems that they create. They may be required to furnish an
intermodulation study, electromagnetic noise study, or other
interference-related data and must agree to accept financial
responsibility for elimination or prevention of any interference caused
by the facility before their application can be evaluated. They must
cease operation of the suspect equipment until the problem is corrected.
If interference problems cannot be resolved or corrected within a
reasonable time, the new use that is causing the interference may be
terminated and the equipment removed.

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

Interference with law enforcement and/or emergency communications must
be corrected immediately. The operation of equipment covered by this
site plan shall not interfere with United States Government radio or
electronic operations already in existence on public land within two (2)
miles of this site. The user causing this interference, shall, at its
own expense, immediately take all action necessary to prevent or
eliminate such interferences. If it does not eliminate such interference
within ten (10) days after receipt of notice from the BLM to do so, this
use will be terminated.

If electromagnetic noise becomes an issue, noise thresholds will be
established and this site plan will be amended accordingly.

## Cables and Transmission Line (Wave Guides)

All new cabling will be jacketed and shielded and shall either be
flexible or semi-rigid type. Existing substandard cables will be
upgraded as repairs or replacement become necessary.

Cables will be properly installed and will be strapped and fastened
down. Use of ports at building entrance points will be kept to a minimum
by use of combiners.

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

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

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

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

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

## Radiation

All communications uses must meet ANSI, FCC and BLM regulations
guidelines and standards concerning radiation limitations. This site is
considered uncontrolled for the purposes of compliance with RFR
standards.

Monitoring radiation levels at the site is the responsibility of all
site users and will occur at intervals to comply with FCC regulations
and guidelines. A copy of these monitoring reports will be provided to
the BLM upon request. The FCC is responsible for enforcement of the
monitoring and standardization for compliance. The FCC could revoke the
license and/or issue a fine for failure to comply. Additionally the BLM
could terminate or suspend the use authorization for failure to comply.

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

Security fences with RFR notice signs are required around areas that
exceed public use levels including anchor points outside the primary
facility compound fence, if necessary. Raising higher power transmitting
antenna on the tower or modifying the antenna type to half wavelength
may be necessary to eliminate RFR hazards. Reducing power may also be
required if other alternatives are not feasible. All fencing location
and design or new tower construction must be pre-approved by the BLM.

Warning signs will comply with ANSI C95.2 color, symbol, and content
conventions. Contact information including name and telephone number
will also be included on warning signs. Existing warning signs compliant
with FCC 47 CFR 1.1307(b) which do not currently include name and
telephone number will be accepted as long as the name and telephone
number is clearly posted on other signage at the Lessee's site.

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

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

## Utilities-Availability of and Requirements for:

[Commercial Electrical Power]{.underline}

There is no commercial electric power to this site. All current
authorization holders operate their equipment on solar power. Future
installation of electrical service to the Scrub Peak site will be paid
for by the benefiting users as determined by the User Association or by
other user agreements. A separate ROW grant will be issued by BLM to the
power company.

[Telephone Service]{.underline}

Commercial telephone lines do not serve this site.

If telephone service is ever deemed necessary, a separate ROW grant will
be issued. Site users will also pay for the cost of:

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

2.  The cost of constructing service connections.

For visual reasons, the use of overhead utility poles may be regulated
by BLM.

[Fuel Tanks]{.underline}

There is currently one facility at the Scrub Peak communication site
utilizing propane as a back-up power supply. Facility owners and
facility managers are responsible for providing fuel storage (propane
and diesel) and emergency power for their tenants and customers. No
tenants or customers will be authorized to have separate fuel tanks
and/or generators. Each facility owner will preferably consolidate fuel
storage into a tank large enough in size to accommodate all tenants and
customers within their facility. At a minimum, tanks will be grouped
together in a consolidated area adjacent to their facilities. All fuel,
storage tanks (e.g. LPG, propane and diesel) must meet current fire
department, Federal, State and local government safety and hazardous
materials requirements. Propane is the preferred fuel for future
generators.

1.  All tanks will be:

> a\. Signed in red letters, "SMOKING OR OPEN FLAME PROHIBITED WITHIN 20
> FEET";
>
> b\. In conformance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
> requirements; and,
>
> c\. Painted an approved color, or screened by an enclosure to blend in
> with the natural environment. If an enclosure is used, it must be
> pre-approved and painted an approved color from the Munsell Soil Color
> Chart, Standard Environmental Colors.
>
> 2\. Diesel tanks will also be:
>
> a\. Enclosed in BLM and fire department approved secondary containment
> vaults that are painted a BLM approved color from the Munsell Soil
> Color Chart, Standard Environmental Colors.
>
> b\. Constructed with underground fuel lines. Fuel line must be
> constructed of black, treated pipe and fittings, and must be posted.
>
> c\. A containment basin must be maintained below all diesel tanks
> which are not designed and approved to be self contained.

## Sanitary Facilities

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

## Security and Law Enforcement 

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

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

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

> 1\. All fences must meet health and safety requirements.
>
> 2\. All fence locations and design require Bureau of Land Management
> pre-approval. The standard fencing type will be chain-link (i.e.
> cyclone).
>
> 3\. The standard fence height will be eight (8) feet, and may contain
> other security wire (i.e., barbed or razor) above that limit.
>
> 4\. Fencing will be designed, maintained, and of a type to minimize
> interference issues as described in the Motorola R-56 standards.
>
> 5\. Fences will be signed with RFR notices if RFR is above public
> levels.

## Site Maintenance 

The objective of maintenance activities is to present a clean, neat, and
orderly appearance at the site and have all of the authorized
improvements safe for workers and the public. All users will keep up the
overall appearance of the site.

Miscellaneous debris remaining after any construction and/or equipment
installation, removal or modification, is not only a hazard, but can
cause interference or intermodulation problems. In particular, all loose
wire or metal objects are to be removed from the site.

Due to the extreme fire conditions that exist throughout the Southern
Utah and Northern Arizona landscape, all ROW holders will maintain a 50
ft. defensible space free of all flammable vegetation/material around
buildings and equipment (see Section K below).

The users of the site will remove all graffiti within 10 working days of
finding it, weather permitting.

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

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

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

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

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

## Inspections

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

1.  Compliance with technical standards.

2.  Structural integrity.

3.  As-built plan accuracy.

4.  Electromagnetic compatibility.

5.  General site health, safety, and cleanliness.

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

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

1.  A description of the violation.

2.  Corrective action required.

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

4.  Time allowed for completion of corrective measures.

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

## Fire Prevention and Hazard Reduction Requirements 

Facility owners and facility managers will be required to control
vegetation within the fenced area around their facilities. All
authorized facilities and equipment (including fuel tanks) will maintain
a bare ground buffer (i.e. gravel or mineral soil) of 10 ft. and all
ladder fuels within 50 ft. of authorized facilities will be removed.

Smoking is prohibited in flammable vegetation areas.

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

No explosives will be stored at this site. Flammable materials shall be
stored in conformance with the requirements of local fire regulations.
Flammables will be placed in closed containers and stored away from
sources of ignition and combustible materials. If flammables are stored
within a building, the building will be locked, properly signed and well
ventilated.

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Access Maintenance and Restrictions

[Roads]{.underline}

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

BLM strongly encourages the formation of a Users Association on Scrub
Peak. Once an Association is formed, all future applicants would be
required to enter into the Association and conform to its existing
standards. The Association in concert with the BLM would resolve issues
such as who pays road maintenance costs, relocation of the gate and
distribution of gate keys.

Individual users who damage or disturb the access road, or any
associated structures, such as ditches, culverts, roadside vegetation,
signs and/or underground utilities or facilities, will be required to
repair the road and/or associated structures, to conditions equal to or
superior to those prior to any damage or disturbance. This work must be
done according to applicable road maintenance standards and may require
the appropriate NEPA analysis.

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

Interior site driveways within the communications site will be
maintained by the site users. Interior roads will be planned and
approved during establishment of new facilities. Interior roads will be
maintained in a manner to allow only one entrance to the site. Off-road
vehicle use by a user in and around the communication site will be
avoided.

[Road Closures]{.underline}

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

> the arch between their licensed 3 dB points.

## Construction Methods and Resource Protection

Plans submitted by an applicant for any new construction or
modifications shall specify provisions for soil rehabilitation measures
including, but not limited to, soil replacement and stabilization and
for proper handling of runoff from buildings, parking area, access
roads, and undeveloped common areas.

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

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

>
> 9\. Hazardous materials, including, but not limited to all fuels,
> oils, and lubricants are not to be left unattended at the site at any
> time. During construction, these materials are to be removed from the
> site at the end of each workday, or temporarily stored inside a locked
> and signed building until the following workday.
>
> 10\. All surplus construction materials and/or waste debris must be
> removed from the site no later than thirty (30) days after
> construction has been completed.
>
> 11\. Any earth moving or heavy equipment (e.g. dozers, graders,
> cranes, backhoes, etc.) leaving the designated roadway and/or approved
> parking area(s) to perform authorized activities at the site, will be
> washed off prior to being brought onto public lands to prevent the
> introduction and spread of noxious weeds into the area.

## Construction Inspection

1\. All new construction, reconstruction, or major modification shall
conform to the established technical standards and accepted engineering
practices (i.e., the Uniform Building Code).

2\. Any construction inspections required by other applicable agencies
are the responsibility of the lessee/holder. Copies of completed
inspections are to be provided to the St. George 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 St. George
Field Office, Authorized Officer, within 90 days of acceptance of
structure (if contracted) or of completion date.

## New or Remodeled/Expanded Buildings

1.  Any new buildings must be designed to accommodate multiple users
    along with fitting into the physical environment as defined in a
    site-specific environmental analysis developed at the time of the
    proposal.

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

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

> a\. Sublease sections to others;
>
> b\. Provide tenants and customers with internal separation and
> security;
>
> c\. Reduce physical interference; and
>
> d\. Increase management effectiveness.

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

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

> b\. Walls -- Concrete block metal or pre-fabricated concrete.
>
> c\. Roof -- Metal, or concrete, if painted to eliminate shiny
> surfaces, or other fireproof material as approved by the BLM.
> Proposals for wooden roofs will not be approved.
>
> d\. Partitions -- If it is felt partitions are necessary in buildings,
> ensure they are constructed with fire resistant material (e.g.,
> concrete block, reinforced concrete, or properly grounded fencing.
>
> e\. Color -- Proposed color for use on all exterior building surfaces
> must be pre-approved by the BLM. The goal of the color selection for
> the facilities is to make the building as inconspicuous as possible
> and make buildings located on the skyline look inconspicuous when
> viewed from a distance. The intent is to reduce or eliminate glare
> from reflective and/or illuminated surfaces such as windowpanes,
> sheeting and reflective paints. Non-reflective, BLM approved colors
> will be used on equipment buildings.

5.  Building entry lights must:

> a\. Only light the immediate area in the vicinity of the door;
>
> b\. Be motion activated and have a limited time duration (e.g., 3-5
> minutes); and
>
> c\. Have a shielded beam that is pointed at the building door.
>
> Requests for all-night (i.e. "dusk-to-dawn") lighting, or entry
> lighting that would be visible from outside of the site will not be
> approved. FAA required lighting would be the only exception.

## New or Remodeled/Expanded Towers

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

2.  It is the applicant/holder's responsibility to assure that a new, or
    modified, structure will not unduly interfere electronically or
    physically with any existing equipment at the site. Towers must be
    spaced, so as to prevent ground level radiation and/or interference
    problems. This must be clearly demonstrated in writing to the BLM
    prior to issuance of a new lease/ROW or amendment.

3.  All new towers will comply with current structural and safety
    specifications and design standards, including safety-climbing
    devices. Towers should be as narrow and "open" as safety and
    structural integrity allow. New towers will be designed using
    maximum wind, snow, and/or tower loading anticipated for the site.

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

A Site Users' Association is recommended at this site. If formed in the
future, all lease and ROW holders will be required to join the
association. The goal of the association would be to maximize the
effective use of the site, coordinate access and maintenance. The
objective of a sanctioned association would also be to represent all
site users as a group when dealing with the BLM St. George Field Office
on matters relating to the site administration. The association would
determine responsibilities for road maintenance to the site. The
association would be able to work in cooperation with the BLM to
identify problems or opportunities and make recommendations to the BLM
for any changes in management strategies at the site. The association
could also provide input to the BLM regarding the future addition of
equipment and facilities at the site. The BLM would be a member of such
a group and would help jointly develop the charter (i.e., the ground
rules). New facility owners/managers would be required to be a member of
the Association in good standing.

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