Building 11 • Suite 201 Blue Bell • PA • 19422 1. Executive Summary Verizon Wireless has contracted with Circet USA, an independent Radio Frequency consulting firm, to determine if the proposed telecommunications 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. Circet USA has taken into consideration the Verizon Wireless antenna system as well as any existing antenna systems at the subject location. Verizon Wireless final antenna count is (9) antenna. Based on the analysis, Circet USA has determined that: Verizon Wireless is compliant in all publicly accessible areas with the FCC rules and regulations governing human exposure to RF electromagnetic fields as described in 47 CFR § 1.1307(b) and 1.1310. With the proposed Verizon Wireless antenna configuration in service, the composite exposure from this facility in all areas at ground level will be less than 1% of the General Population MPE limit, or over 100 times less than the maximum allowed exposure in publicly accessible areas. 4 1777 Sentry Parkway W.

Building 11 • Suite 201 Blue Bell • PA • 19422 3. Analysis Circet USA has included the Verizon Wireless antenna system at the subject location in the analysis. All existing and proposed antennas are listed in the antenna table above. 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 IXUS software was performed for all transmitting antennas located at the site. Circet USA 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. Circet USA on the best available data. As stated previously, based on this analysis, the calculated ground level exposure from the Verizon Wireless antenna system alone is less than 1% of the General Population MPE limit. 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.” The graph below provides a visual depiction of the rather insignificant electromagnetic field exposure contribution from the Verizon Wireless antenna system out to a distance of 500’ from the base of the structure. This portrays how low the Verizon Wireless contribution is when compared to the General Population MPE limit. 6 1777 Sentry Parkway W. Building 11 • Suite 201 Blue Bell • PA • 19422 4. Appendix A: Reference Information 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 accumulative % 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: Two Classifications for Exposure Limits Occupational – Applies to situations in which persons are “exposed as a consequence of their employment” and are “fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure”. General Population – Applies to situations in which persons 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”. Generally speaking, those without significant and documented RF Safety & Awareness training would be in the General Population classification. Environment Classification Controlled – Applies to environments that are restricted or “controlled” in order to prevent access from members of the General Population classification. Uncontrolled – Applies to environments that are unrestricted or “uncontrolled” that allow access from members of the General Population classification. 7 1777 Sentry Parkway W.
