AT&T Site CCL02062

Please accept this application for a modification to the original use permit for this communications facility.
AT&T is proposing an upgrade consisting of removing two antennas each at wo locations on temporary roof
mounts and replacing them with two new antennas at each existing location on permanent tripod mounts.
This modification also includes removing, replacing and adding equipment at ground level in the existing
equipment at the rear of the building. No equipment will be visible from the public street and the antennas
heights will actually decrease from 37' 7" to 37' 2" for the front sector facing Cowan Road. The rear (south)
antenna sector will not increase in height. A photo-simulation showing the antennas is attached for reference.
A complete description of the proposed scope of work appears on sheet T-1 of the attached site plans.
This modification will not produce any significant additional noise, heat or light.
Please contact me should any additional information be required for your review.

• The site consists of two (2) sectors with a total of four (4) antennas
• There are no separate structures within forty (40) feet of the transmitting antennas
• The site is not co-located
Compliant with recommendations

Com�liance Notes
Occupational Safety & Compliance Engineering (OSC Engineering) has been contracted by Caldwell Compliance,
Inc. to conduct an - RF (radio frequency) computer simulated analysis. The Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) has set limits on RF energy exposed to humans on a wireless cell site in order to ensure safety. The FCC has also
mandated that all RF wireless sites must be in compliance with the FCC limits and a compliance check should be
performed annually to ensure site compliance.
This reporf is an in depth analysis summarizing the results of the RF modeling provided to us by AT&T and in relation to
relevant FCC RF compliance standards. A reanalysis is recommended upon the site going on air.
OSC Engineering uses the FCC OET-65 as well as AT&T Standards to make recommendations based on results and
information gathered from drawings and Radio Frequency Data Sheets.
For this reporf, OSC Engineering utilized Roofview0 software for the theoretical analysis of the AT&T Cellular Facility.
A site-specific comptiance plan is recommended for each transmitting site. This report serves as a single piece of the
overall compliance plan.
Information utilized for this report: RFDS: SAN-FRANCISCO-SACRAMENTO_SAN-FRANCISCO_CCU2062_2016-eNode-
B_LTE_km477n_3701 A069AE_13298663_118359_03-28-2016_Final-
Approved_v5.00 (LTE1 C - LTESCj
DWGs: CCL02062 - 81 1 600051 1_CD_RevC - 12-08-2016 JH-MV
For the purpose of theoretical simulation, OSC Engineering models antennas as if they are operating at full power
(100% capacity). This assumption yields more conservative (higher) results. On-site measurements may yield different
results, as antennas do not always operate at full capacity. To the right is a result diagram of the site in question. The
diagram is a color-coded map per ND-00059 levels, which coincide with FCC MPE Limits. Any exposure resulting in a
level higher than 100% exceeds the Limits and requires furfher action, such as barriers. A level exceeding 100% does not
make a site out of compliance. All results are given in General Population percentages even when a site may be
considered OccupationaL �

FCC Requlations and Guidelines from OET 65
When considering the contributions to fieid strength or power density from other RF sources, care should be taken to
ensure that such variables as reflection and re-radiation are considered. In cases involving very complex sites predictions
of RF fields may not be possible, and a measurement survey may be necessary The process for determining compliance
for other situations can be similarly accomplished using the techniques described in this section and in Supplement A to
this bulletin that deals with radio and television broadcast operations. However, as mentioned above, at very complex
sites measurements may be necessary.
In the simple example shown in the below diagram, it is desired to determine the power density at a given location X
meters from the base of a tower on which are mounted two antennas. One antenna is a CMRS antenna with several
channels, and the other is an FM broadcast antenna. The system parameters that must be known are the total ERP for
each antenna and the operating frequencies (to determine which MPE limits apply). The heights above ground level for
each antenna, H1 and H2, must be known in order to calculate the distances, R1 and R2, from the antennas to the point
of interest.'

Computer Simulation Analysis
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) governs the telecommunications services, facilities, and devices used by
the public, industrial and state organizations in the United States.
"RoofViewO is a software analysis tool for evaluating radiofrequency (RF) field levels at roof-top telecommunications sites
produced by vertical collinear antennas of the type commonly used in the cellular, paging, PCS, ESMR and conventional
two-way radio communications services."2
"RF near-field levels are computed from selected antennas by applying a cylindrical model that takes into account the
antenna's aperture height, mounting height above the roof, azimuthal beam width for directional antennas and the
location of the antennas on the roof Resulting, spatially averaged power densities are expressed as a percentage of a
user selectable exposure limit depending on frequency. The entire roof is composed of one-square-foot pixels and RF
fields are computed for each of these pixels for each selected antenna."3
Computer simulations produced for clients are simulated with "Uptime = 100%". This means that all transmitters associated
with an antenna are considered to be "on". 4
RoofViewO uses a near-field method of computing the field based on assuming that the total input power delivered to
the antenna, at its input terminal, is distributed over an imaginary cylindrical surface surrounding the antenna. The height
of the cylinder is equal to the aperture height of the antenna while the radius is simply the distance from the antenna at
which the field power density is to be computed. Within the aperture of the antenna, this approximation is quite accurate
but as the antenna is elevated above the region of interest, the model output must be corrected for mounting height. 5

The engineering and design of all related structures as well as the impact of the antennas on the
structural integrity of the design are specifically excluded from this report's scope of work. This report's
scope of work is limited to an evaluation of the Electromagnetic Energy (EME) RF emissions field
generated by the antennas listed in this report. When client and others have supplied data, it is
assumed to be correct.

FCC MPE Limits (from OET-65)
OSC Engineering uses the FCC's and clients' guidelines to model the computer simulation. Explained in detail in Office of
Engineering & Technology, Bulletin No. 65 ("OET-65") "Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to
Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Radiation".
Occupational/confrolledb 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 (see below), 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. As discussed later, the occupational/controlled exposure limits also apply to amateur radio operators and
members of their immediate household.
General population/unconfrolled� 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. Therefore, members of the general public would
always be considered under this category when exposure is not employment-related, for example, in the case of a
telecommunications tower that exposes persons in a nearby residential area.

Limits for Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE)8
"The FCC Exposure limits are based on data showing that the human body absorbs RF energy at some frequencies more
efficiently than at others. The most restrictive limits occur in the frequency range of 30-300MHz where whole-body
absorption of RF energy by human beings is most efficient. At other frequencies whole-body absorption is less efficient,
and, consequently, the MPE limits are tess restrictive."9

"MPE Limits are defined in terms of power density (units of milliwatts per centimeter squared: mW/cm2), electric field
strength (units of volts per meter: V/m) and magnetic field strength (units of amperes per meter: A/m). In the far-field of a

Limitations
OSC Engineering completed this evaluation analysis based on information and data provided by the client. The data
provided by the client is assumed to be accurate. Estimates of the unknown, standard, and additional transmitting sites
are noted and based on FCC regulation and client requirements. These are estimated to the best of our professional
knowledge. This report is completed by OSC Engineering to determine whether the wireless communications facility
compties with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Radio Frequency (RF) Safety Guidelines. The Office of
Engineering and Technology (OET-65) Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to
Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Radiation has been prepared to provide assistance in determining whether proposed
or existing transmitting facilities, operations or devices comply with limits for human exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields
adopted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)". As each site is getting upgraded and changed, this
report will become obsolete as this report is based on current information per the client, per the date of the report. Use of
this document will not hold OSC Engineering Inc. nor it's employees liable legally or otherwise. This reporf shall not be used
as a determination as to what is safe or unsafe on a given site. All workers or other people accessing any transmitting site
should have proper EME awareness training. This includes, but is not limited to, obeying posted signage, keeping a
minimum distance from antennas, watching EME awareness videos and formal classroom training.

EH&S and OSHA Barrier Consideration
Environmental, Health and Safety (EH8�S) guidelines prohibit construction of RF safety barriers that extend to, or are within the 6-ft
setback from, unprotected roof edges but do not meet the OSHA fall protection requirements of 29 CFR 1910.23 and 29 CFR
1926.500 through 1926.503. The following details are intended to assist AT8�T RF safety engineers and RSVs in meeting the AT8�T
Mobility RF safety compliance guidelines as defined in ND-00059. Whereas, AT8�T employees and contractors working within 6 ft. from
an unprotected roof edge must follow OSHA guidelines with respect to fall protection and roof line safety.12
For Clarity: Unprotected roof edge refers to a parapet less than thirty-six (36) inches in height.

AT8�T Antenna Shut-Down Protocol
AT8�T provides Lockout/Tagout (COTO) procedures in Section 9.413 (9.4.1- 9.4.9) in the ND-00059. These procedures are to be followed
in the event of anyone who needs access at or in the vicinity of transmitting AT8�T antennas. Contact AT8�T when accessing the
rooffop near the transmiHing antennas. Below is information regarding when to contact an AT8�T representative.
9.4.7 Maintenance work being performed near transmitting antennas
Whenever anyone is working within close proximity to the transmitting antenna(s), the antenna sector, multiple sectors, or entire cell
site may need to be shut down to ensure compliance with the applicable FCC MPE limit. This work may include but is not limited to
structural repairs, painting or non-RF equipment services by AT8�T personnel/contractors or the owner of a tower, water tank, rooftop,
or other low-centerline sites. The particular method of energy control will depend on the scope of work (e.g., duration, impact to the
antenna or transmission cabling, etc.) and potential for RF levels to exceed the FCC MPE limits for General Population/Uncontrolled
environments
9.4.8 AT&T Employees and Contractors
AT&T employees and contractors performing work on AT&T cell sites must be trained in RF awareness and must exercise control over
their exposure to ensure compliance with the FCC MPE limit for Occupational/Controlled Environments ("Occupational MPE Limit"J.
The rule of staying at least 3 feet from antennas is no longer always adequate to prevent exposure above the Occupational MPE
Limit. That general rule was applied early in the development of cellular when omni-directional antennas were primarily used and
later when wide-beamwidth antennas were used. That application was then appropriate for the Occupational exposure category.
However, the current prevalence of antennas with 60- and 70- degree horizontal half-power beamwidths at urban and suburban
GSM and UMTS/HSDPA sites raises some question about the continued reliability of the 3-foot rule. Antennas with low bottom-tip
heights and total input powers around 70-80 W can produce exposure levels exceeding the Occupational MPE Limits afi 4 feet, and
these tevels can be augmented by emissions of co-located operators. Therefore, AT8�T employees and contractors should apply the
above general work procedures and use an RF personal monitor to assess exposure levels within the work vicinity.
9.4.9 Other Incidental Workers
All other incidental workers who are not trained in RF safety are considered general public and subject to the FCC MPE limits for
General Population/Uncontrolled Environments. In such instance, the M-RFSC (primary contact) or R-RFSC (secondary contact) must
refer to the Mobility RF site survey plan to assess the potential RF exposure levels associated with the antenna system. If capable of
exceeding the FCC General Population/Uncontrolled MPE limit, then local sector/site shutdown is necessary. The FE/FT must also
follow the local shutdown procedure and use their RF personal monitor as a screening tool for verification, as necessary.
