Signed 31 May 2023 750 West Center Street • Suite 301 • West Bridgewater • MA • 02379 Executive Summary Centerline Communications, LLC (Centerline) was contracted to analyze the proposed Verizon Wireless telecommunications facility for the purpose of determining whether the predictive exposure from the proposed facility is in compliance with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules and regulations regarding RF exposure as defined in 47 CFR § 1.1307(b) and 1.1310. This document and the conclusions herein are based on the information provided by representatives of Verizon Wireless which is assumed to be true and correct. All information used in this report was analyzed to determine compliance in publicly accessible areas, in particular at ground level. The analysis evaluates the telecommunications facility with respect to the General Population/Uncontrolled Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits. Centerline has taken into consideration the Verizon Wireless antenna system as well as any existing antenna systems at the subject location. Verizon Wireless is proposing to install (3) antennas on each of (3) sectors at 51‐54’ above ground level along with associated radio equipment on an existing building rooftop. The final antenna count will be (9) antennas. Based on the analysis, Centerline has determined that: Verizon Wireless is compliant with the FCC rules and regulations governing human exposure to RF electromagnetic fields as described in 47 CFR § 1.1307(b) and 1.1310 in all areas at ground level and on all rooftop walking surfaces. With the proposed Verizon Wireless antenna configuration in service, the maximum calculated exposure from the Verizon Wireless facility at ground level is 6.69% of the General Population MPE limit, which is approximately 15 times less than the maximum allowed exposure in publicly accessible areas, and the maximum calculated exposure from the Verizon Wireless facility on the rooftop is 18.90% of the General Population MPE limit, which is more than 5 times less than the maximum allowed exposure in publicly accessible areas. 750 West Center Street • Suite 301 • West Bridgewater • MA • 02379 Antenna Inventory The table below contains data provided by Verizon Wireless representatives and/or gathered by Centerline personnel.

All existing and proposed antennas are listed in the antenna table below. Engineering assumptions were used when specific antenna or operating parameter information was not available for the other existing collocated antennas (if applicable). Using this data, software modeling using Roofmaster® was performed for all transmitting antennas located at the site. Centerline has assumed a 100% duty cycle and maximum radiated power. The site has been modeled with these assumptions to determine the maximum potential RF energy density at ground level. Centerline believes this to be a worst‐case analysis based on the best available data. As stated previously, based on this analysis, the maximum calculated exposure from the Verizon Wireless facility at ground level is 6.69% of the General Population MPE limit, which is approximately 15 times less than the maximum allowed exposure in publicly accessible areas, and the maximum calculated exposure from the Verizon Wireless facility on the rooftop is 18.90% of the General Population MPE limit, which is more than 5 times less than the maximum allowed exposure in publicly accessible areas. Keep in mind that the FCC did not arbitrarily establish their own standards but rather adopted the recommendations of national and international organizations such as the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). These recommendations were developed by expert scientists and engineers following extensive evaluation of the potential biological effects from RF exposure. The FCC MPE limits are based on thresholds for known adverse effects, and they were designed to provide a substantial margin of safety. There is a safety factor of 50 built into the General Public MPE limits, and the predicted Verizon Wireless exposure levels are over 100 times below these very conservative limits. In cases where such compliance exists, the subject of electromagnetic field safety is preempted by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which states: “No state or local government or instrumentality thereof may regulate the placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities on the basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with the (Federal Communication) Commission’s regulations concerning such emissions.” 750 West Center Street • Suite 301 • West Bridgewater • MA • 02379 Appendix A: FCC Rules & Regulations All information used in this report was analyzed as a percentage of the MPE limits as detailed in 47 CFR § 1.1310. The calculated power density at each sample point divided by the limit at each calculated frequency provides a result in % MPE. Summing the calculated % MPE from all contributors provides a cumulative % MPE at a particular sample point. Wireless carriers use different frequency bands with varying MPE limits; therefore, it is useful to report results in terms of % MPE as opposed to power density. All results were compared to the FCC radio frequency exposure rules as detailed in 47 CFR § 1.1307(b) to determine compliance with the MPE limits for General Population/Uncontrolled environments as defined below. General population/uncontrolled exposure limits apply to situations in which the general public may be exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be made fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure. Members of the general public are always considered part of this category when exposure is not employment related (e.g. antennas located on a tower adjacent to a residential neighborhood). Occupational/controlled exposure limits apply to situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment and in which those persons who are exposed have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. Occupational/ controlled exposure limits also apply where exposure is of a transient nature as a result of incidental passage through a location where exposure levels may be above general population/uncontrolled limits, as long as the exposed person has been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over his or her exposure by leaving the area or by some other appropriate means. The MPE limits defined in 47 CFR § 1.1310 and utilized in this analysis are outlined in the table and diagram below: 750 West Center Street • Suite 301 • West Bridgewater • MA • 02379 Limits for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) (A) Limits for Occupational/Controlled Exposure Frequency Range (MHz) Electric Field Strength (V/m) Magnetic Field Strength (A/m) Power Density (mW/cm2) Averaging Time (minutes) 0.3‐3.0 614 1.63 (100)* 6 3.0‐30 1842/f 4.89/f (900/f2)* 6 30‐300 61.4 0.163 1.0 6 300‐1,500 ‐‐ ‐‐ f/300 6 1,500‐100,000 ‐‐ ‐‐ 5 6 (B) Limits for General Public/Uncontrolled Exposure Frequency Range (MHz) Electric Field Strength (V/m) Magnetic Field Strength (A/m) Power Density (mW/cm2) Averaging Time (minutes) 0.3‐1.34 614 1.63 (100)* 30 1.34‐30 824/f 2.19/f (180/f2)* 30 30‐300 27.5 0.073 0.2 30 300‐1,500 ‐‐ ‐‐ f/1,500 30 1,500‐100,000 ‐‐ ‐‐ 1.0 30 f = Frequency in (MHz) * = Plane‐wave equivalent power density
