## Terms and Definitions

The terms used in this communication site plan conform to the
definitions listed in the October 27, 1995, Federal Register notice "Fee
Schedule for Communications Uses on Public Lands" and clarifications
provided in Bureau of Land Management Handbook 2860-1. In the event of a
conflict, between the plan and these sources, the Federal Register
notice and the Bureau of Land Management Handbook will govern.

The words "lease" and "lessee" as used in this plan refer to the
relationship between the Bureau of Land Management and the
communications use leaseholder, the lessee. The words "customer" and
"tenant" refer to the relationship between the lessee and the occupants
in the lessee's facilities.

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

LEASEHOLDER OR LESSEE -- Facility Owner/Facility Manager

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

## Purpose

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

General management direction for all land use is outlined in the Elko
Resource Area Resource management Plan, RMP, adopted in 1987, the U.S.
Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs) and the BLM Handbook and applicable
Instruction Memoranda. Specific direction for site management planning
on designated communications site is contained in BLM Handbook 2860-1.
Primary regulations and policy pertaining to issuance of rights-of-way
and leases by the Bureau of Land Management are found in Title 43, Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR), Sections 2801- 2803 and BLM Handbook
2860-1.

The 1987 Elko Resources Management Plan, RMP, does not specifically name
Elko Mountain. Elko Mountain was not included in any defined visual
resource area in the 1986 RMP. This RMP will be revised over the next
12-24 months. Any applicable changes to this communications site plan as
a result of the revised RMP will be made to keep this activity plan
consistent with the RMP.

Elko Mountain will continue to be managed for low power radio,
microwave, cellular, and one LPTV broadcast uses. The senior use at this
site is two way radio traffic control.

A communications site plan was approved for this site in 1992. This plan
incorporates applicable information from the 1992 plan and updates
direction and technical standards for better management of the Elko
Mountain communications site. This plan governs development and
management of Elko Mountain and will be modified in the future as needs
and conditions warrant. Any future such uses must be designed,
installed, operated, and maintained to be compatible and not interfere
with the senior uses.

This site-specific plan is administrative in nature and is Categorically
Excluded from further review under the National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) (516.DM2, Appendix 1,17). Any additional development of the site
will be addressed in a site-specific NEPA document.

## Site Description

The site is located on lands which are administered by the Elko Field
Office, and located north east of Elko, Nevada in portions of Section
26, Township 35 North, Range 56 East in the at approximately 40º 53' 40"
North Latitude and 115º 37' 45" West Longitude. Elko Mountain at the
north end of the site is approximately 7505 feet above mean sea level
(msl). A site map is provided as Appendix A.

## Area Served

This site does not serve an RMA, Ranally Metro Area. The largest
community served is Elko, Nevada. The population of Elko, Nevada
according to the 2000 Census is between 25,000 -- 49,000. Fee
determination is based in part on the population zone which may be
adjusted annually based upon changes in population and growth or
designation of an RMA.

## Access

Access to the site is from Elko on the Highway 227 east toward Lamoille,
Nevada. Approximately 1.5 miles past the turnoff to Jiggs, NV (SR 228),
turn left on County Road 711. Proceed north and then west to the site.
County road access and maintenance ends at the corral turnoff at the
private land. The gravel road crosses private land. Access and
maintenance from the County Road to the site has been secured by the FAA
and the FAA maintains this road for their use and others at the site.
See appendix G, Road Maintenance Agreement.

## Site History and Development

Elko Mountain communication site was first developed in 1956 under a
grant issued to the FAA for air traffic control. The FAA built a new
facility just south of their original building and the BLM took over
ownership of this original building. From 1969 to 1970, the State of
Nevada, Department of Information Technology took over management and
improved this facility. The BLM and FS uses are housed along with other
State of Nevada uses.

In 1970 Western Communications was also authorized to construct a
facility south of the FAA facility. In 1989, Nevada Communications
placed a facility adjacent to the Western Communications facility. Both
of these facilities are now owned by Lambda Communications. Sierra
Electronics, Boehler Construction, Southwest Gas, Ruby Dome, Inc., and
NE Nevada Regional Hospital all have their own Right-of-Way grants
within facilities owned by Lambda Communications.

Sierra Microwave was authorized to place a microwave tower and facility
on the northwest slope of the site in 1973. This facility has since been
sold to Western Telephone, MCI, Western Telephone, and then Pinnacle
Towers Inc. In 1981, Citizens Telephone placed a facility on the
southern slopes along the road to provide microwave relay to others
sites as well as providing commercial telephone to Elko Mountain.

The final authorization at this site was in 1996, when the National
Weather Service was authorized to place a facility just east of the
Citizens Telephone Company building.

Current building space and tower space appears to be adequate for the
foreseeable demand. The State of Nevada has plans to eventually replace
and upgrade their equipment building and remove the guyed tower. Lambda
Communications also plans to remove the smaller building currently
housing the NE Nevada Regional Hospital (Facility Site #3) and erecting
a 100' lattice tower to the north of their current building

If in the future, this existing space becomes utilized to its optimum
capacity, ample land area is available for future site development. Site
specific NEPA analysis will be required prior to any future facility
modification or new facility construction.

## Goals and Objectives of Site Management Plan

1\. Elko Mountain Site will be managed as a low power two-way radio,
microwave, and cellular site. The low power translator use may remain at
a reduced power output, but if it leaves the site, no further broadcast
uses will be authorized. The maximum power output of 400 ERP shall
continue to apply to uses at this site.

2\. Future authorizations and additional uses must be designed to
prevent degradation of the senior uses at this site.

3\. The overall appearance of the site and the integrity of the natural
environment will be improved through stringent maintenance requirements
and selection of authorized paint colors.

4.  The site will be systematically developed to maximize the number of
    compatible uses while ensuring safety and protection of resources.

5.  New facilities will be developed only after appropriate
    site-specific NEPA analysis and coordination with current lease
    holders and users.

6.  All lease or grant holders must be members of the Users Association
    and are required to participate in cooperative management with the
    BLM and assist in monitoring of site use and maintenance of the
    access road and other common use facilities.

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

## Authority

Bureau of Land Management authority to authorize communications uses on
Resource Area (BLM) land is granted by the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976, 90 Stat. 2776 (43 U.S. C. 1761-1771) and is
reflected in Title 43, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Sections 2801-
2803

and WO IB 98-23.

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

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

## Relationship to Communications Site Lease

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

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

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

Issuing and amending leases and existing rights-of-way to facility
owners and facility managers, only for the areas actually occupied by
the authorized improvements. Granting occupancy and use of Public Lands
rest exclusively with the Bureau of Land Management Title 43, CFR,
Sections 2801-2803

1.  . The issuance of a FCC license (authorization), or frequency
    assignment, does not authorize occupancy of Public Lands.

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

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

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

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

2.  Ensuring that all new facilities, expansions, or improvements are
    consistent with the RMP; any environmental document(s)/decisions for
    the site; and, this Site Plan.

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

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

5.  Providing the Bureau of Land Management, 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 terms of the Facility Owner/Manager Lease or
    Right-of-Way:

    a.  Facility Owners and Facility Managers are authorized to rent
        building/tower space to tenants and/or customers without prior
        written approval from the Bureau of Land Management.

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

    c.  Tenants and/or customers using a facility covered by a Facility
        Lease/right-of-way will not have separate Bureau of Land
        Management permits to authorize the use.

    d.  Facility Owners and Facility Managers are responsible for
        complying with the terms and conditions of the Facility Lease or
        their valid right-of-way. Facility Owner/Managers are also
        responsible for ensuring that their tenants and customers are in
        compliance with the terms and conditions of the Lease or
        right-of-way, 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 Bureau
    of Land Management regulations, guidelines and standards concerning
    radiation limitations.

    a.  Monitoring radiation levels at their facility and;

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

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

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

11. Placing the BLM serial number in six inch lettering on the face of
    the building visible from the access road. This numbering system
    ties to the site map, Appendix A, and will be a physical address in
    the case of emergencies.

## FCC and NTIA/IRAC are responsible for:

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

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

##  {#section .unnumbered}

## Exclusive Use of a Facility By a Single User

All facilities except the FAA facility are currently designed to
accommodate multiple users.

## Use by Multiple Users

The capacity of the current facilities is adequate on both the towers
and within the existing buildings for future tenants/customers. Any
future proposals must be designed to include multiple users. This
includes multiple use of buildings, towers, back-up generators,
grounding systems, fuel containers, access ways and parking areas.

Facility Owners and Facility Managers are not required to lease facility
space to others if they can prove to the authorized Bureau of Land
Management 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 Bureau of Land Management will charge Facility Owners and Facility
Managers annual fees based on the Fee Schedule for Communications Uses
on Public Lands as adjusted annually. These fees will be fair market
value for the use of Public Lands. Since this site is not within an
established RMA, Ranally Metro Area, the population zone is between
25,000 -- 49,999, Zone 8 will be used for these calculations unless
specifically agreed to by the authorizing officer and until populations
or RMP designations 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

1.  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 RMP,
    this plan will be amended accordingly. The area has been identified
    as being within suitable sage grouse nesting habitat, but long term
    use of the site for communications purposes has probably reduced the
    usefulness of sage grouse nesting in this area.

## 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. (ie. R56, Polyohaser,
> or equivalent)
>
> 2\. All electrical wiring and grounding must meet the 'National
> Electrical Code" and applicable estate codes. All permanent wiring
> shall be installed in metallic conduit. Surge protection shall be
> installed on all power distribution panels.
>
> 3\. Lightening protection "down" conductors installed upon
> communications towers shall be treated as "Transmission lines".
> Therefore, they shall have an insulating jacket. Periodic bonding of
> the down conductor to the tower (Galvanized) steel shall be made with
> proper bonding connectors that are tin plated or made of brass.
>
> 4\. Each building is to have its own separate grounding system for all
> users in that structure. Wherever practical, interconnection of
> individual grids and/or the simultaneous placement of a large sized
> copper ground wire with any new grounding systems that are buried on
> the site will be required.
>
> 5\. Site or facility grounding must be constructed of copper, with #2
> AWG or larger wire or 2" or larger solid copper strap, connected to an
> adequate site/facility ground electrode system. The site/facility
> ground electrode system shall be bonded to the power service entrance
> grounding electrode conductor. Guy wires should also be grounded using
> manufacturers approved methods to preclude bi-metallic junction and
> corrosion. All equipment on the site (buildings, towers, power units,
> transmitters, receivers, antennas, combiners, telephone systems, power
> cabinets, HVAC units, etc) must be connected to the site/facility
> ground by direct connection. Electrical system ground wiring is
> required for electrical ground fault protection and circuit breaker
> coordination. 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).

## Equipment

[Equipment Ownership]{.underline}

All equipment shall be labeled with:

1.  The owner's name;

2.  Transmitter frequency(ies);

3.  A valid FCC, or IRAF, authorization;

4.  Transmitting power output(s); and

5.  A current 24-hour phone contact number.

[Transmitting Equipment]{.underline}

All transmitters will have protective devices (shields, filters,
isolation components), designed into or externally installed, to prevent
interference with other users. All transmitters will meet FCC licensing
requirements.

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

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

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

[Receiving Equipment]{.underline}

A bandpass device (cavity, crystal filter, etc.) is recommended at the
input of all receiving devices. Cavity filters, or other protective
device, may be used at receiver inputs to reduce interference.

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

[Tower]{.underline}

1.  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(s) is/are completely filled
    and full use has been made of combining systems. When a single
    equipment building is required, multiple antenna support structures
    may need to be designed and authorized to accommodate all uses
    without interference.

2.  All towers will be left unpainted, if they are dull, galvanized
    steel. Paint is required, only if they have a shiny (i.e.
    reflective) surface. Only non-reflective, Bureau of Land Management
    approved dark gray to green colors will be approved unless FCC
    requires red/white striping. All towers will be treated for low to
    non-reflectance.

3.  Only lights, beacons or strobes specifically required by the FCC
    will be allowed on towers (including antennas).

4.  The maximum tower height for this site is 100 feet.

[Antennas]{.underline}

1.  Microwave (dish) antennas (other than ground mounted satellite
    dishes) will be limited to a maximum of ten (12) feet in diameter.
    Smallest diameter dishes are preferred if technically feasible.

2.  All antenna outputs must meet all OSHA safety standards. If an
    antenna output exceeds FCC public or occupation 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
    Bureau of Land Management. White dish antennas and/or covers will
    not be approved. Existing white dishes and covers must be repainted
    or replaced with 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 permit/lease holder of the facility(ies), the
user causing the interference, and the affected party(ies). Generally,
the first users on a site have seniority with respect to the resolution
of interference complaints. Senior holders have an obligation to
maintain their equipment to industry standards, to operate their systems
in accordance with the terms of both the FCC license and NTIA/IRAC
frequency authorization, and to comply with the Bureau of Land
Management authorization. New users on a site must correct, at their
expense, interference problems that they create. They must cease
operation of the suspect equipment until the problem is corrected. If
interference problems cannot be resolved or corrected within a
reasonable time, the new use that is causing the interference may be
terminated and the equipment removed.

The Bureau of Land Management does not have authority for correcting
interference problems, but can act as a mediator to help all affected
parties. Interference problems must be coordinated with the FCC or
NTIA/IRAC, whichever is appropriate.

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

If electromagnetic noise becomes an issue, noise thresholds will be
established and appended to this Plan.

## 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.

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
lines shall be left unterminated.

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

## Radiation

All communications uses must meet ANSI, FCC and Bureau of Land
Management regulations guidelines and standards concerning radiation
limitations.

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

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

Security fences with RFR notice signs are required around areas that
exceed public use levels. All fencing location and design will be
pre-approved by the Bureau of Land Management.

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.

## Utilities-Availability of and Requirements for:

[Commercial Electrical Power]{.underline}

Commercial power is provided to the site under permit to Pacific Power
Corp. The distribution line and the service drops are buried.

[Telephone Service]{.underline}

Citizens Telephone provides commercial telephone service to this site
from their facility.

[Fuel Tanks]{.underline}

All facility owners are responsible for providing fuel storage (propane
or diesel) and emergency power for their tenants. No tenants will be
authorized their own separate fuel tank and/or generator. Fuel storage
will preferably be consolidated into a tank large enough in size to
accommodate all tenants by each facility owner. At a minimum, tanks will
be grouped together in a consolidated area adjacent to their facilities.
All fuel, storage tanks (e.g. LPG, propane) must meet current fire
department, Federal, State and Borough safety and hazardous materials
requirements.

1.  All tanks will be:

> a\. Signed in red letters, "SMOKING OR OPEN FLAME PROHIBITED WITHIN 20
> FEET";
>
> b\. In conformance with National Fire Protection Association (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).
>
> d\. Propane tanks must be protected from hazards such as falling ice
> from nearby towers and vehicles backing into them by installing
> appropriate barriers where needed.
>
> 2\. Diesel tanks will also be:
>
> a\. Enclosed in Bureau of Land Management and fire department approved
> secondary containment vaults that are painted a Bureau of Land
> Management approved color.
>
> b\. Constructed with underground fuel lines. Fuel line must be

## Sanitary Facilities

> 1\. Plans for any new sanitary facilities must be pre-approved by the
> Bureau of Land Management. If it is determined by the Bureau of Land
> Management that the user needs such facilities, they will be provided
> by the applicant/holder in a manner and location satisfactory to the
> Bureau of Land Management and within the requirements of the Borough
> Health Department.

## Security And Law Enforcement 

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

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

Any access gates must be adequate for Bureau of Land Management and
County Fire Department access needs.

[Fencing]{.underline}

None of the current facilities are currently fenced. Any future
modification must meet the following criteria:

> 1\. All fences must meet health and safety requirements.
>
> 2\. All fence locations and design require Bureau of Land Management
> pre-approval. The standard fencing type will be chain-link (i.e.
> cyclone).
>
> 3\. The standard fence height will be eight (8) feet.
>
> 4\. Fencing will be designed, maintained, and of a type to minimize
> interference issues.
>
> 5\. Fences will be signed with RFR notices if RFR is above public
> levels.

## Site Maintenance 

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

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

The users of the Site will remove all graffiti within 10 working days of
finding it. If graffiti is on natural features (e.g. rocks), the
graffiti will be removed in a method approved by the Bureau of Land
Management Authorized Officer.

Holders 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 (i.e. holders) 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, paintbrushes will not be cleaned
off on the rocks around the site and excess materials (e.g. cement) will
be removed from public lands.

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

The lease/ROW grant holders are collectively and individually
responsibly for the abatement and control of noxious weeds according to
the Elko Field Office Weed Abatement programs.

## Inspections

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

The Bureau of Land Management may also conduct un-announced periodic
reviews to monitor for authorization compliance.

## Fire Prevention and Hazard Reduction Requirements 

Facility owners and managers will be required to maintain to mineral
soil, a minimum of thirty (30) feet clearance around their buildings and
a minimum of ten (10) feet clearance around any propane tanks.
Identified threatened, endangered, or sensitive plant species must
remain within the minimum clearance areas.

Smoking is prohibited while walking in flammable vegetation.

The roof structure shall be kept reasonably clear of leaves, twigs, and
other debris at all times.

No explosive 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 4 B:C dye chemical fire extinguisher is
required inside each building. Prior to each June, fire extinguisher(s)
shall be inspected and refilled by holders, if necessary.

Any fire will be immediately reported to "911", the nearest Bureau of
Land Management office or the County Sheriff.

Periodic fire prevention inspections are made by Bureau of Land
Management Officers. They will call to your attention any lack of
compliance with the above regulations, plus any other existing hazards.
Compliance with these inspections is required within the time limits
specified.

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}

From Elko take the Lamoille Highway, SR 227 to approximately 1.5 miles
east of the Jiggs turnoff then north on County 711 to the corral turnoff
at the private land then to public lands and the site. Access and
maintenance over the private land and through the public land is held by
the FAA. See the Road maintenance agreement as Appendix F.

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

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

Roads within the communications site will be maintained by the site
users. Interior roads will be planned and approved during establishment
of new facilities. Interior roads will be maintained in a manner to
allow only one entrance to the site. The intent is to discourage
off-road vehicle use in and around the site.

[Road Closures]{.underline}

Native surface roads are subject to periodic closures to entry during
periods of extreme fire danger, inclement weather, or wet conditions.
Authorized 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.

## 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 holder. Copies of completed inspections
are to be provided to the Field Manager, either as they occur or as part
of the final as-built plan. Inspection information shall become a
permanent part of the proponent's special-use file.

3\. The Holder agrees that corrective work detailed in Bureau of Land
Management, or other agency required compliance inspections, would be
completed by the scheduled completion date. If the Holder disagrees or
has questions about specific items, the Holder must contact the Bureau
of Land Management in order that the disagreement or item may be
resolved.

4\. A final set of as-built plans will be submitted to the Field Manager
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, flat roofed. 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, pre-fabricated concrete, or other
> pre-approved fire resistant materials.
>
> c\. Roof -- Metal, or concrete, if painted to eliminate shiny
> surfaces, or other fireproof material as approved by the Bureau of
> Land Management. 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 expanded
> metal.
>
> e\. Color -- Proposed color for use on all exterior building surfaces
> must be pre-approved by the Bureau of Land Management. 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,
> Bureau of Land Management approved dark gray to green colors will be
> used on equipment buildings.
>
> f\. Pre-fabricated equipment shelters which meet the above
> requirements may be approved.

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.

## New or Remodeled/Expanded Towers

1.  All new construction, reconstruction, and modifications to towers
    will be pre-approved by the Bureau of Land Management 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 Bureau
    of Land Management prior to issuance of a lease, permit, or
    amendment.

3.  All new towers will comply with current applicable OSHA or ANSI
    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.

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

2.  To investigate allegations of physical and/or electromagnetic
    interference and recommend measure for correction.

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

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

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

> ARTICLE III

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

SECTION 2: The Association shall select a Board consisting of a
chairperson, a vice-chairperson, a secretary/treasurer, a site database
manager (who will serve on the Technical Committee) and a chairperson of
supporting committees as required, from the association members, who
will hold office for one year or until their successors are selected.
Selection of officers shall be determined by the drawing of lots.
Members so selected shall then serve their terms on a rotational basis
subject to their right of refusal to so serve. The first name so drawn
will serve as chairperson and the other offices will be so filled in
descending order as the names are drawn. As vacancies occur, the next
name on the list will occupy that office. If a vacancy occurs due to
turnover in a holder's internal organization, the authorized replacement
may serve out the remainder of the unexpired term. New users will be
added to the roster to serve as officers in the group in the order they
receive authorization to locate on the site. After the chairperson of
the Technical Committee is selected, volunteers will be solicited from
each type of user to serve on the committee.

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

SECTION 3: All recommendations of the association will be forwarded to
the BLM Elko Field Office Manager for action.

custody and disbursement of the money. Billings for assessments will be
sent during June of each year or will be due for part of a year when the
right-of-way grant is issued.

ARTICLE III

SECTION 1: Technical Standards

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

Required:

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

2.  All external transmission line shall be jacketed and have a solid
    outer conductor (or have shielding \> - 90dB). Unjacketed
    transmission line of any type is prohibited.

3.  Transmission lines shall be secured to the tower following
    manufacturer's specifications. Black nylon tie wraps, insulated wire
    wrap or approved insulated cable clamps must be used. Use of any
    uninsulated cabling or wire is prohibited.

4.  Double shielded, double braded or heliax type coaxial cable is
    required from radio equipment through isolators, band pass devices,
    and duplexers, etc., to heliax transmission line. No RG-8 type cable
    will be allowed.

5.  Each transmitter shall be externally identified with a copy of the
    current FCC license, or IRAC authorization. Name and telephone
    number of the person responsible for the equipment maintenance, the
    receiver frequency, transmit/receive tone frequencies, and transmit
    frequency and power.

6.  The antenna shall not be indiscriminately moved after initial
    mounting and tests without prior notification and approval of the
    Technical Committee and the Authorized Officer.

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

8.  All transmitting equipment shall be FCC-type accepted and meet their
    rules and regulations or conform to Part 5 "Standards" of the NTIA
    Manual of Regulations and Procedures for Federal Radio Frequency
    Management.

9.  All receivers must comply with Parts 2 and 15 of the current FCC
    rules or conform to Part 5 "Standards" of the NTIA Manual of
    Regulations and Procedures for Federal Radio Frequency Management.

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

11. All antenna cables shall have an identification tag.

12. Receivers will not be regulated; however, all receivers experiencing
    interference may need to be equipped with cavities or crystal
    filters.

13. Power output of any system on the Elko Mountain Site shall not
    exceed 400 watts ERP (Effective Radiated Power). Transmitter
    isolation in the output to the antenna will be determined on a
    case-by-case basis. If a transmitter causes interference to another
    user that cannot be resolved by any know technical means, the new
    users will cease operation within 24 hours of notice by BLM.
    Electromagnetic interference being denied as any radio frequency
    associated interaction that impedes or hinders another service. In
    the event that further negotiations cannot resolve the interference
    problems, the new station will not be permitted to resume
    transmitting.

14. System design must provide adequate isolation between antennas.

15. If harmful spurious emissions and harmonic content are shown to be
    causing interference, the responsible user shall be required to take
    additional measure to suppress it.

16. Each microwave and point-to-point system change or addition will be
    addressed individually by the Technical Committee to provide advice
    to the Authorized Officer to take appropriate actions.

17. Any miscellaneous equipment that causes harmful interference shall
    not be used, or if installed, must be removed.

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

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

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

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

Recommended:

The following standards are recommended for new and existing
installations. Should it become necessary to eliminate interference,
site users will be required to comply with these standards.

1.  Transmitters operating on this site should have sufficient
    separation to shield other operating equipment. It is suggested that
    the equipment be made by the manufacturer for operation on a
    multiple user site.

2.  Transmitters operating on this site should also have a ferrite
    isolator with a minimum of 50 dB rejection in the reverse direction.
    The isolator should be installed between the transmitter and the
    cavity.

3.  Notch type duplexers should be preceded by a band pass cavity.

4.  A low pass filter or a band pass cavity should be between the
    isolator and the antenna.

5.  Guy wires, bonding across clevices, brackets, etc., should be
    insulated. Loose wire or metal objects must not be left on towers.

6.  It is recommended that a band pass cavity be placed in the feedline
    to receivers.

7.  Type "N" connectors are preferred over other type connectors. Do not
    mix coax connectors with adaptors.

8.  It may be incumbent upon existing users to upgrade existing
    equipment to resolve interference if the new user is properly set up
    to prevent interference. This situation will be addressed by the
    Technical Committee on a case-by-case basis.

SECTION 2: Annual Inspection and Enforcement

1.  The Technical Committee and the BLM shall jointly conduct at least
    one annual inspection of each facility on the site. This inspection
    will verify:

    a.  compliance with technical standards.

    b.  structural integrity.

    c.  electromagnetic compatibility.

    d.  general safety.

    e.  as-built plan accuracy.

2.  Any noncompliance found shall be recorded and include:

    a.  a description of the defect and the adverse impacts, which
        result.

    b.  what corrective action is required.

    c.  the name and address of the responsible part or organization.

    d.  the recommended time frame for completion of corrective measures
        to be taken.

3.  Copies of non-compliance reports and user responses shall be
    forwarded to the Technical Committee Chairperson for review and

APPENDIX F

ELKO MOUNTAIN COMUNICATION SITE

ROAD USERS AGREEMENT

This agreement pertains to the normal use and maintenance of the access
road to the Elko Mountain Communication Site that is located on public
land within T. 35 N., R. 56 E., MDM, Nevada, Section 26. The access road
will be authorized by a right-of-way reservation held in the name of the
Bureau of Land Management. The road is needed by all of the users of the
communication site for surface access to the top of Elko Mountain. The
BLM shall not unilaterally assume financial responsibility for
maintenance of the access road.

For the purposes of this agreement, normal maintenance shall be
considered to be that which is necessary to keep the road in a
serviceable condition for safe passage of vehicles and to prevent
deterioration from that condition.

Since the FAA currently requires daily travel to the site, it must
maintain passage for its own needs. Until that situation changes, the
Users Association will cooperate with FAA as the situation warrants
contributing material, etc., to maintain the road in a safe condition.
No specific annual assessment is anticipated at this time. Should
conditions change so that FAA no longer requires daily travel to the
site, this agreement must be modified to meet the new situation. Should
an assessment become necessary for normal maintenance of the road, the
Secretary/Treasurer of the Association will collect each users pro rata
share and maintain the money in a separate account to be used for the
expenses of the Association to maintain the road in useable condition. A
process to determine a pro rata share will also be developed when it is
needed.

Normal maintenance costs may vary from year to year as a result of
unusual climatic conditions, unusually heavy traffic on the road or
other unforeseen circumstances that may arise. The pro rata share of the
costs may also vary as existing users leave the site and/or new users
occupy the site. New applicants to occupy the Elko Mountain
Communication Site shall be required to execute this Road Users
Agreement by a stipulation to be placed in their right-of-way grant.

Damage to the road caused by unusual construction activity of a user(s)
shall be repaired by the affected user(s) at its (their) sole expense.
