February 15, 2012 MetroPCS California LLC Site # SAC-301/Palermo Butte County Anop Use Permit Application Project Description/Justification Statement General: BUTTE COUNTY MAR - 1 2012 DEVELOPMENT SERVICES MetroPCS California LLC, ("Metro") has been authorized by the Federal Communications Commission to construct and operate a wireless network in Northern California as well as in most ofthe major metropolitan areas in the United States. Metro defines itself as being the low-cost provider of wireless telecommunication services with state of the art technology. Metro is in the process of expanding its wireless network coverage in Butte County. Currently, Metro provides wireless telecommunication services in much of Butte County; however increasing demand for Metro's service in the cities and towns of Butte County is requiring new Metro sites. The objective of the proposed Metro site at 6772 Lincoln Blvd., Oroville, CA 95966 (APN 026-050-004) is to improve the Metro coverage in the Town of Palermo. The proposed Metro wireless telecommunication facility at 6772 Lincoln Blvd. will consist of adding up to four (4) panel antennas, one microwave, up to sixteen (16) 7/8" coax, one (1) Y2" microwave coax and a 12' tower extension on an existing 68' PG&E transmission tower. Two (2) of the antennas are approximately 81" tall, 7.7" wide and 4.8" deep in size and two (2) of the antennas are approximately 81" tall, 11.3" wide and 5.3" deep in size. The proposed microwave dish would be approximately 2' in diameter. The antennas would be mounted at a height of approximately 77'-78', with the microwave dish being mounted directly underneath the antenna array. Metro proposes to locate its radio equipment inside a fenced 13' x 13' area under the existing PG&E tower base. Metro respectfully requests Butte County approve the requested minor use permit to construct, operate, and maintain the proposed collocation on an existing PG&E transmission tower. Justification Statement: Currently MetroPCS does not provide adequate network coverage to the Town of Palermo. Metro's nearest tower is located several miles away from the Town of Palermo, and does not provide "in building" coverage to the Palermo area. With the ever increasing usage of "smart" phones and with approximately 30% of residences MetroPCS Site SAC -301 • Minor Use Permit Application -Butte County • nationwide solely relying on cell phones for their phone service, it is important for Metro to greatly improve its network coverage in the Palermo area. The proposed Metro facility located at 6772 Lincoln Blvd. will greatly increase Metro's coverage throughout the Palermo area and will provide "in building" coverage necessary for people who rely solely on their Metro phones for phone service. Project Specifications The subject parcel (APN 026-050-004) on which the proposed telecommunication facility is to be located is zoned AR -1. As per the Butte County wireless communications facilities ordinance section 24-262 page 2 table, collocation in an AR zone is allowed via approval of a building permit from Butte County. While Metro is proposing to collocate on an existing PG&E transmission tower, Metro is requesting a minor use permit approval due to the 12' tower extension. The tower extension serves two purposes. First, by extending the PG&E tower by 12', this will ensure Metro's antenna array is more than the required 10' away from the PG&E transmission lines and conductors. PG&E requires at least 10' separation from all of its electrical network components to ensure there is no interference from both an operational and maintenance perspective. Second, by extending the tower 12' Metro will be able to maximize the geographical coverage from this facility. The proposed Metro wireless telecommunication facility at 6772 Lincoln Blvd. will consist of adding up to four (4) panel antennas, one microwave, up to sixteen (16) 7/8" coax, one (1) Y2" microwave coax and a 12' tower extension on an existing 68' PG&E transmission tower. Two (2) of the antennas are approximately 81" tall, 7.7" wide and 4.8" deep in size and two (2) of the antennas are approximately 81" tall, 11.3" wide and 5.3" deep in size. The proposed microwave dish would. be approximately 2' in diameter. The antennas would be mounted at a height of approximately 77'-78', with the microwave dish being mounted directly underneath the antenna array. Metro proposes to locate its radio and support equipment inside a wood fenced 13'x 13' area under the existing PG&E tower base. Metro's radio and support equipment will consist of 2 radio cabinets, a backup power source (to provide required short term power to the site if PG&E power is interrupted), a power meter and telco interface connection cabinet. As future needs dictate, Metro may add additional radio cabinets inside the fenced compound. Butte County Communications Facility Application Checklist 1a- See above "Project Specifications". Spec sheets for the antennas and microwave included. 1 b- The height of the existing PG&E transmission tower is 68-6 %". Metro proposes to install a 12' tower extension to bring the height of the extended tower to approximately 80'-6 3/". MetroPCS Site SAC -301 Minor Use Permit Application -Butte County 1 c- See above "Project Specification". 1d- Please see RFR/EMF study provided by Jerry Smith, Metro RF Engineer. 1e- Project coordinates shown on project drawings. 2- Project elevations shown on project drawings. 3- The existing tree cover blocks the project from most general public.viewpoints. The proposed collocation on the existing PG&E tower will not substantially change the existing view of the subject tower. Given there are two PG&E transmission towers located side by side on the subject parcel, the proposed Metro collocation will not significantly change the overall view of the project area and surrounding areas. Three photo simulations are included. If Butte County determines a "mock-up" is required, Metro shall provide a "mock-up" to meet Butte County's requirements. No trimming of vegetation is necessary. 4- If Butte County determines a "mock-up" is required, Metro shall provide a "mock-up" to meet Butte County's requirements. 5- Presently there are no existing telecommunication towers close enough to the Town of Palermo to provide Metro with the desired network coverage. The alternative sites are listed below. a- Palermo School- Several discussions were held with Palermo School. After walking the entire school campus it became evident there was no location available to place a telecommunications facility that would not interfere with the school activities. b- Intersection of Palermo Rd and Railroad Ave- There are is a line of PG&E transmission towers running parallel to the existing Union Pacific Railroad tracks in this area. The parcel (APN 026-280-010, AKA SBE # 886-4-3-1G) is owned by the Union Pacific Railroad. Union Pacific Railroad was unresponsive to multiple letters and calls. c- 7940 Railroad Ave- There is an existing PGE transmission tower located on this parcel. The tower is located in seasonal wetlands, and was deemed to be a likely garter snake and red legged frog habitat by EarthTouch, Inc, an environmental company Metro uses for NEPA reports. d- After speaking to Butte County Planning staff it was determined a new tower structure was unlikely to be approved in the Palermo area, and that the utilization of a PG&E tower was going to be required. The proposed site is a little more north than desired by Metro, however after looking at every PG&E tower in the search ring and immediately outside the search ring, and taking into account such factors as a willing property owner, available utilities nearby, and access to the tower location the proposed site was chosen. 6- A map showing the existing Metro telecommunication sites located within 20 miles of the proposed site is included. A list of these sites and coordinates is also provided. MetroPCS Site SAC -301 .10 Minor Use Permit Application -Butte County 7- A copy of the Metro search ring is provided. The alternative site comments in section 5 above explains why the proposed site location was chosen. 8- The existing PG&E tower has been evaluated by PG&E and found to. be structurally capable of holding the proposed Metro antenna array. The structural letter from PG&E is pending. Metro agrees as a Condition of Approval to provide a structural letter from PG&E. 9= At this time Metro has no plans for any type of a fuel powered backup generator at this location. 10- The proposed Metro project is a collocation on an existing PG&E transmission tower. There is one other PG&E transmission tower immediately adjacent to the subject tower on the subject parcel. The Metro project will require a 12' tower extension. This type of extension on PG&E towers is common when locating wireless telecommunication networks on PG&E towers. The tower extension requirement is explained in the Project Specifications section above. The installation of wireless antennas on existing PG&E towers will not add significantly to the overall visual appearance of the PG&E tower. 11- Copies of letters to AT&T Wireless, Verizon and T -Mobile are included. 12- Copies of Metro's FCC licenses included. 13- Please see RFR/EMF study provided by Jerry Smith, Metro RF Engineer. 14- As the location of the Metro equipment is not visible to the public, no landscaping is proposed. 15- Subject parcel is zoned AR -1, not subject to this requirement. 16- The proposed Metro project is not known to be in any Airport Land Use Plan or Area of Influence. Statement of Operations: No nuisances will be generated by the proposed co -located wireless facility, nor will the facility injure the public health, safety, morals or general welfare. With proper care and separation, Metro's technology does not interfere with any other forms of communication whether public or private. Once the construction of the wireless facility is complete and the telephone switching equipment is fine-tuned, visitation to the site by service personnel for routine maintenance typically occurs an average of once a month. The site is entirely self- MetroPCS Site SAC -301 0 Minor Use Permit Application -Butte County 0 monitored and connects directly to a central office where sophisticated computers alert personnel to any equipment malfunction. Because the wireless facility will be unmanned, there will be no regular hours of operation and no impact to existing local traffic patterns. No water or sanitation services will be required. Metro will comply with all FCC rules governing construction requirements, technical standards, interference protection, power and height limitations and radio frequency standards. In addition, Metro will comply with all FAA and CPUC rules on site location and operation. Environmental Imaacts: The Metro facility will result in no significant impacts to the environment or to the area in which it is located. The facility produces no noise, smoke or odors. Construction will result in minimal modifications and disturbance to the immediate area. The proposed facility qualifies under CEQA, Article 9, Categorical Exemptions, Class 3: "Construction and location of limited number of new small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures; and the conversion of existing small structures from one use to another where only minor modifications are made in the exterior of the structure. (CEQA Guidelines, .Section 15303). Benefits to the Community The proposed Metro facility will provide many benefits to Town of Palermo residents. These benefits include the following: • 911 capability allowing motorists to summon aid and report dangerous situations. • Support for emergency services by providing wireless communications to paramedics, firefighters, and law enforcement agencies. • The ability to transmit data allowing for immediate access to vital information. • A backup system to the land -line system in the event of power outages, natural or man-made disasters. • Communication capabilities thereby enhancing the safety of travelers by allowing immediate access to emergency assistance. • Enhance the communications systems of residents who telecommute from their homes. In summary, the new Metro facility will provide "State of the Art" wireless telecommunication services to the Town of Palermo and become an important element of the Town of Palermo infrastructure for future business and residential services.

CCeIIMax Technologies AB CJ Product Brief VHLP2-23/B ValuLine VisionTm 2 ft Antennc Newly re -engineered 2 ft antenna designed • 000 1B E E 00 -COUNTY ANDREWO MAR — 1 2012 A CommScope Company DEVELOPMENT SERVICES with superior RF pattern performance When re-engineering and re -designing the VHLP(X)2 family of antennas we considered everything, right down to the box in which it is packaged. The result is an evolutionary 2 ft (0.6 m) microwave antenna that delivers superior RF performance, lowers shipping costs, and lowers total cost of ownership. Better RF performance, easier to install and maintain, less expensive to ship, quicker to get. At Andrew, value is so much more than price. Everyday, we're expanding our vision of what value can be. The VHLP(X)2 is proof positive. Using Andrew Solutions patented Pattern Control RingT11 technology, the VHLP(X)2 antennas have a robust electrical design that delivers consistent and highly -controlled electrical performance. RF patterns are compliant to appropriate global regulatory standards giving smooth, reliable deployment and proven performance for years to come, no matter how your network evolves. The antenna mount design allows unencumbered access to the rear of the antenna. So the VHLP(X)2 makes installing components such as radio equipment easier and simplifies the routing of waveguides and cables. The antenna mount allows gradual and smooth adjustment that simplifies alignment, even under the most adverse weather conditions. The innovation in design even extends to the packaging of the antenna. By reconfiguring the shipping carton, we've reduced overall volume. So the VHLP(X)2 is less expensive to ship and to warehouse. And that's good to know, considering the 2 ft (0.6 m) antenna is the most requested size in the industry. Perhaps most importantly, the new VHLP(X)2 is now being manufactured at Andrew locations around the world. Our worldwide manufacturing network means your shipping costs'are lower, lead times are shorter, and inventory carrying costs are reduced. In short, the ValuLine Vision® VHLP(X)2 may just be the most value -packed 2 ft (0.6 m) antenna you can buy. • Superior RF performance • Easier installation and maintenance • Reduces shipping and inventory costs • Manufactured globally www.commscope.com/andrew 02011 CommScope, Inc.

Power Density Study MetroPCS SAC -301 / 6772 Lincoln Blvd, Oroville, CA APN-026-050-004 (Butte County), CA 95966 O,t,OPCS - Sacramento Regional Office 785 Orchard Drive • Suite 200 Folsom, CA 95630 (916) 9842689 Phone (916) 984-2665 Fax Prepared below is a power density analysis for SAC301 Palermo, located at 6772 Lincoln Blvd, Oroville, CA 95966. For MetroPCS I performed the study with one 1.25MHz CDMA -PCS carrier transmitting a maximum ERP (effecti✓e radiated power) of 389W, one 1.25MHz CDMA-EVDO carrier transmitting a. maximum ERP (effective radiated power) of 389W and one 5MHz LTE -AWS carrier transmitting a maximum ERP (effective radiated power) of 1455W. Calculations were performed for MetroPCS at a radiation center of 78 feet for all three technologies. The ANSI standard ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 sets the maximum exposure level for persons in the vicinity of a continuously radiating source. The standard is intended to insure exposure levels are safe for all persons based upon current scientific knowledge by groups of experts in a number of biological and engineering fields. This study is a worst-case scenario using guidelines recommended by ANSI to calculate the energy density at a given point away from the radiating antennas. I make one assumption, which causes this study to be a worst-case scenario. The assumption is that the radios are all radiating at maximum power at all times. The maximum power density for this site at various distances from the site is shown in the table on the following page. The ANSI standard for the PCS band is 1.00 mW/cm2 for a uncontrolled environment and 5.00 mW/cm2 for En uncontrolled environment. At the base of the tower the MetroPCS 0.43% of the ANSI standard for an uncontrolled environment and 0.09% of the ANSI standard for a controlled environment. I certify that the that the radio frequency levels meet Federal standards, and that the facility will not interfere with the City's or other public entities emergency broadcast systems? Regards 2.

Project Description: The applicant requests a use permit to add 12' to an existing 68' 6-3/4" PG&E transm�ssion tower for collocation/utilization as a wireless communications facility. The top of the tower extension would be 80'-6-3/4" above ground level. The addition will include up to six (6) antennas mounted at a proposed height of 77' to 78', with a microwave dish (approximately 2' in diameter) being mounted directly underneath the antenna array. Initially four (4) antennas will placed on the tower. Two (2) of the antennas are approximately 81" tall, 7.7" wide and 4.8" deep and two (2) of the antennas are approximately 81" tall, 11.3" wide and 5.3" deep. In addition'Up to sixteen (16) 7/8" coax cables, one (1)'/z" microwave coax cable and a 169 sq ft equipment shelter area is proposed within the foot print of the existing tower. The applicant does not propose a permanent onsite back-up generator. During a power outage, the facility will be served with a four-hour battery back-up system. The applicant would provide a temporary diesel generator, on a trailer, until power is restored, as needed for service. No red obstruction lights or strobe lights are proposed to be placed on the tower. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Metro PCS, MUP12-0003 ■ Page 2 of 30 ■ Project Name: Use Permit MUP12-0003 for Metro PCS The proposed tower extension on the existing PG&E tower does not require the standard setback ratio of one foot of setback per one foot of height, per Butte County Code Section 24-181 D with a Minor Use Permit. See Lana Use section 4.10 of this Initial Study for additional detail. Proposed setbacks from the extended tower to -parcel boundaries are approximately as follows: East 430', West 200', North 56' and South 20'. A building permit is required for the proposed tower extension and associated ancillary equipment. Once constructed and operational, the communications facility would provide 24-hour service to customers seven days a week, except in the event of power outages in which case a temporary diesel generator will be brought to the site to provide power until regular power is restored. Apart from initial construction activity, no personnel will be stationed at the site. Routine maintenance and inspection of the facility would occur once a month during normal business hours. No water or sewer service is required as the site would normally be unmanned. M.

No red obstruction lights or strobe lights are proposed to be placed on the tower. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Metro PCS, MUP 12-0003 ■ Page 5 of 30 ■ Project Name: Use Permit MUP12-0003 for Metro PCS The proposed tower extension on the existing PG&E tower does not require the standard setback ratio of one foot of setback per one foot of height, per Butte County Code section 24-181 D with a Minor Use Permit. Proposed setbacks from the extended tower to parcel boundaries are approximately as follows: East 430', West 200', North 56' and South 20'. Once constructed and operational, the communications facility would provide 24-hour service to customers seven days a week, except in the event of power outages in which case a temporary diesel generator will be brought to the site to provide power until regular power is restored. Apart from initial construction activity, no personnel will be stationed at the site. Routine maintenance and inspection of the facility would occur once a month during normal business hours. No water or sewer service is required as the site would normally be unmanned. The applicant supplied photo simulation of the existing tower and proposed extension, which is attached at the back of this report. The proposed 12' box/extension will be visibly insignificant in relationship to the existing 68'-6-3/4" PG&E tower, especially given the facility is be located approximately 350 feet from the closest residence. The lease area is within an existing PG&E easement, and the applicant has indicated that PG&E does not want landscaping within its easement. Due to the location of PG&E tower on the parcel, the base of the tower is screened by existing structures vegetation and fencing, so it would not be visible from Lincoln Boulevard or adjacent parcels. Based on these factors, the location proposed will result in a less than significant impact to scenic resources and adjacent parcels. Mitigation Measures: None required 4.2 AGRICULTURE RESOURCES: Impact Discussion: (a.) (b) (c.) (d) No impact. The project site is zoned VLDR (Very Low Density Residential), which is primarily utilized for residential uses at this location. No agricultural uses exist on the site or in the project vicinity. The site is designated as "Urban and Built-up Land" in the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP). In 2010, the California Resources Agency issued the Important Farmlands Map for Butte County identifying Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, Unique Farmland, and Grazing land. The "Urban and Built -Up Land" designation is described as: Land that is occupied by structures with a building density of at least I unit to 1.5 acres, or approximately 6 structures to a 10 -acre parcel. Common examples include residential, industrial, commercial, institutional facilities, cemeteries, airports, golf courses, sanitary landfills, sewage treatment, and water control structures. Due to the land use patterns on site and in the surrounding parcels, the project site is unsuited to commercial cultivation.

Geographic areas are designated "attainment" if these standards are met and "nonattainment" if they are not met. In addition, each agency has several levels of classifications based on severity of the problem. Butte County and all northern Sacramento Valley Air Districts have been designated as "moderate" nonattainment areas for the state standards for ozone (03) and fine particulate matter (PM10). Currently, Butte County is in attainment for all the federal (less stringent) air quality standards. (a.)(b.)(c.)(d.)(e.) No Impact.

The applicant does not propose a permanent onsite back-up generator. During a power outage, the applicant would provide a temporary diesel generator, on a trailer, until power is restored. The project is not expected to generate any significant amounts of fugitive dust because the only soil disturbance would be some very minor excavation for the concrete slabs that the equipment cabinets, ground cables and electrical service. Due to its limited construction and operational scope, the project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan. Negligible amounts of emissions would be generated by construction equipment during site development activit:es, because of the limited amount of construction equipment and time needed to install the extension, antennas, and equipment cabinets. The limited scope of the project's construction and operational phases will have no impact upon any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non -attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Metro PCS, MUP 12-0003 ■ Page 7 of 30 m Potentially Less Than Significant Less Than Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant with Significant No Impact Under Previous Impact Mitigation Impact Document Incorporated a.

Such species may be considered "rare" and are vulnerable to extirpation as the state's human population grows and the habitats these species occupy are converted to agricultural and urban uses. A sizable number of native species and animals have been formally designated as threatened or endangered under State and Federal endangered species legislation. Ethers have been designated as "Candidates" for such listing; still others have been designated as "Species of Special Concern" by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG). The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) has developed its own set of lists of native plants considered rare, threatened or endangered. Collectively, these plants and animals are referred to as "special status species." (a.)(g.)(k.)(i.) Less than significant impact. Given the relatively small scope of the project (a height extension to an existing lattice tower and small equipment shelter), previous disturbance/grading on the site, and its proximity to Olive Highway, the project is not anticipated to have any impacts to special status species or to general wildlife num ier or migratory corridors. (b.)(c.) No impact. Site inspection revealed no indicators of wetlands or riparian vegetation in the vicinity of the project. The site area is covered in grass and has been disturbed over time. The project is not located within a constraint map (moderate, high or very high) for biological resources associated with the Butte Regional Conservation Plan. (d)G.) Less Than Significant Impact. The construction of new communication tower creates a potentially significant impact on migratory birds, especially some 350 species of night -migrating birds. Communications towers are estime—ted to kill 4-5 million birds per year, which violates the spirit and the intent of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Code of Federal Regulations at Part 50 designed to implement the MBTA. Some of the species affected are also protected under the Endangered Species Act and Bald and Golden Eagle Act. Interim guidelines were developed by Fist and Wildlife Service personnel from research conducted in several eastern, midwestern, and southern states, and have been refined through Regional review. They are based on the best information available at this time, and are the most prudent and effective measures for avoiding bird strikes at monopoles. Some of the guidelines are: • New facilities should be collocated on existing towers or other existing structures. • Towers should be less than 200 feet above ground level • Towers should be freestanding (i.e., no guy wires) • Towers and appendant facilities should be sited, designed and constructed so as to avoid or minimize habitat loss within and adjacent to the monopole "footprint". • New towers should be designed structurally and electrically to accommodate the applicant/licensee's antennas and antennas for at least two additional users (minimum of three users for each monopole structure. • Security lighting for on -ground facilities and equipment should be down -shielded to keep light within the boundaries of the site. • Monopoles no longer in use or determined to be obsolete should be removed within 12 months of cessation cf use. The project is consistent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service interim guidelines because the proposed addition (12') would be added to the existing PG&E transmission tower (68'-3/4") would be much less than 200 feet in height. The footprint of the proposed lease area would not encroach onto any environmentally sensitive habitat. (e.) No impact. The project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. (f.) No impact. This site is located within the area for which the area of the Butte Regional Conservation Plan (ERCP) coordinated by the Butte County Association of Governments; however it is not presently within an adopted HCP/NCCP or other approved habitat conservation plan area. The proposal would not conflict with the adoption of the future BRCP local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan. (k.) Less Than Significant Impact. All exterior lights on the project site are required to be fully shielded and di_ected downward. The 169 square foot leased area containing ground equipment will fenced for security reasons, but is small enough so as not to inhibit migratory patterns or normal wildlife activities. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Metro PCS, MUP12-0003 ■ Page 9 of 30 ■ Project Name: Use Permit MUP12-0003 for Metro PCS 4.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES: Would the proposal: a.

(a.3.) Less Than Significant Impact. The Seismic Safety Element of the Butte County General Plan indicates that all of Butte County is in Moderate Earthquake Intensity Zone VIII. The site is not within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake fault zone or an aftershock zone. The only known active fault in Butte County is the Cleveland Hill fault, where activity on August 1, 1975 resulted in the Oroville earthquake. This earthquake had a Richter magnitude of 5.7 and resulted in approximately 2.2 miles of ground rupture along the western flank of Cleveland Hill. No impacts are anticipated sinc,: no rupture of a known earthquake fault exists in the project area. Like most of central California, the site can be expected to be subjected to seismic ground shaking at some future tune. Accordingly, the proposed wireless communications facility extension would be designed and installed in accordance with International Building Code requirements. Because the project appears to be located such that the probability of signifi,-ant groundshaking is low, and because any structures that are built during the course of the project will be designed and installed in accordance with International Building Code standards for the appropriate Seismic Hazard Zone, potential geologic impacts would be.

Impact Discussion: Section 15064.4 of the CEQA Guidelines sets forth guidance for determining the significance of Impacts from Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The guidelines allow impacts from a particular project to be described quantitatively or qualitatively and direct that impacts should be evaluated in consideration of existing environmental setting, applicable thresholds of significance,, and compliance with regulations and requirements adopted to implement the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. Section 15064 (h)(3)of the CEQA Guidelines specifies that a project's contribution to a cumulative effect may be found `not cumulatively considerable' if the project will comply with the requirements in a previously approved plan or mitigation program, including plans or regulations for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Butte County has not adopted a plEn or mitigation program for the reduction of greenhouse gases as of the publication of this study. Likewise, it has not adopted thresholds of significance for evaluating greenhouse gas emissions. This section evaluates greenhouse gas emissions relative to the existing environmental setting and compliance with air quality regulations relative to automobile emissions, the prinary contributor to greenhouse gas emissions from the proposed project.

Construction activities associated with the development of the proposed project would involve the use of potentially hazardous materials, including paints, cleaning materials, vehicle fuels, oils, and transmission fluids. However, all potentially hazardous materials would be contained, stored, and used in accordance with manufacturers' instructions and handled in compliance with applicable standards and regulations. Implementation of the proposed project would result in the development of a wireless communications facility. It is not anticipated that large quantities of hazardous materials would be permanently stored or used within the project site. Similarly, the project would not emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous materials. Small quantities of publicly - available hazardous materials (e.g., paint, maintenance supplies) may be routinely used within the project site for maintenance and cleaning. However, these materials would not be used in sufficient strength or quantity to create a substantial risk of fire or explosion, or otherwise pose a substantial risk to human or environmental health. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not create a permanent significant hazard to the public or environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials.

Unlike television and radio transmitters which work at full power all the time, a mobile phone site is designed to control its output so that it provides exactly the signal strength required to handle the number of:calls being made at that moment, no more and no less. Therefore, if no calls are being made at any one moment, the cell site will virtually shut itself down. Wireless communication systems are, by design and operation, low-power devices. Even under maximum exposure conditions, in which all channels are operating at full power, public exposure from a wireless facility will typically be less than 1 microwatts per centimeter squared (pW/cm2) for an uncontrolled environment and 5 microwatts per centineter squared (µW/cm2) for a controlled environment. This exposure is lower than, by more than 1,200 times, the current American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) report public exposure standards. The current ANSI and NCRP maximum allowable exposures are set at levels 50 times higher than the majority of the scientific community believes may pose a health risk to human populations. The applicant submitted an analysis of the radio-frequency emissions that would be generated by the project, and it is attached at the end of the study. The facility is projected to produce approximately 0.02 to 0.43% of the ANSI standard for the cellular frequency, depending on the distance from the transmission tower. These results were calculated taking this site's specific ant: rtna patterns into account. (d.) No impact. A review of regulatory agency databases, which included lists of hazardous materials sites corn-jiled pursuant to California Government Code Section 65962.5, did not identify any additional sites at or adjacent to the pnject site that have used, stored, disposed of, or released hazardous materials.

X ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Metro PCS, MTJP12-0003 ■ Page 15 of 30 ■ Project Name: Use Permit MUP12-0003 for Metro PCS Impact Discussion: The applicant requests a minor use permit to add 12' to an existing 68' 6-3/4" PG&E transmission tower for collocation/utilization as a wireless communications facility. The top of the tower extension would be 80'-6-3/4" above ground level. The addition will include up to six (6) antennas mounted at a proposed height of 77' to 78', with a microwave dish (approximately 2' in diameter) being mounted directly underneath the antenna array. Initially four (4) antennas will placed on the tower. Two (2) of the antennas are approximately 81" tall, 7.7" wide and 4.8" deep and two (2) of the antennas are approximately 81" tall, 11.3" wide and 5.3" deep. In addition up to sixteen (16) 7/8" coax cables, one (1) %2" microwave coax cable and a 169 sq ft equipment shelter area is proposed within the foot print of the existing tower. The applicant does not propose a permanent onsite back-up generator. During a power outage, the facility will be served with a four-hour battery back-up system. The applicant would provide a temporary diesel generator, on a trailer, until power is restored, as needed for service. No red obstruction lights or strobe lights are proposed to be placed on the tower. Proposed setbacks from the extended tower to parcel boundaries are approximately as follows: East 4307, West 200', North 56' and South 20' which is consistent with BCC section 24-181 D with a Minor Use Permit. Once constructed and operational, the communications facility would provide 24-hour service to customers seven days a week. Apart from initial construction activity, no personnel will be stationed at the site. Routine maintenance and inspection of the facility would occur once a month during normal business hours. No water or sewer service is required as the site would normally be unmanned. (a.) No impact. No new parcels or substantial development would result from this project. The project would not divide any established community. (b.) Less than significant impact. The lattice tower extension would result in an additional 12' above the existing 68'-6- 3/4" PG&E transmission tower, or a proposed height of 80'-6-3/4". The proposed project is located in an area zoned Very Low Density Residential (VLDR). Although the collocation of wireless communication facilities is permitted with an Administrative permit in the VLDR zones, adding additional height to the existing facility requires a Minor Use Permit. The proposed wireless communications facility is a public utility because it is regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission. Butte County Code Section 24-181 D, Utility Pole Mounted or Power Transmission Tower Mounted Facilities, addresses additional height and setback requirements: 1. Facilities mounted on an existing utility pole or transmission tower are not subject to setbacks. 2. Facilities mounted on an existing utility pole or transmission tower may increase overall height by up to 20 percent of the existing facility's total height through the approval of a Minor Use Permit. Lattice towers have a very low probability of failure, especially in areas where substantial ice does not form. If it should fall down, it would not fall into areas of high human activity. A building permit is required for the proposed extension and the Butte County Building Division would review the building plans for the lattice tower and extension for compliance with all applicable structural requirements of the International Building Code. For the approval of the Minor Use Permit, the project shall comply with applicable standards in the Zoning Ordinance, other County ordinances, the General Plan, any other applicable community or specific plan, and the County Improvement Standards, and can make the following findings: 1. The proposed use is allowed in the applicable zone. 2. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use will be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity of the subject property. 3. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare of the County. 4. The proposed use is properly located within the County and adequately served by existing or planned services and infrastructure. 5. The size, shape, and other physical characteristics of the subject property are adequate to ensure compatibility of the proposed use with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity of the subject property. This Initial Study, based on information from planning staff and the applicant, confirms compliance with all land use plans and policies and ensure the proposed project would not impair the health, welfare, or safety of Butte County residents. The addition of 12 feet to the existing PG&E transmission tower will present less of a visual impact than a new ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Metro PCS, MUP12-0003 ■ Page 16 of 30 ■ t x Project Name: Use Permit MUP12-0003 for Metro PCS ' 80 -foot wireless communication facility.

The use of the generator will be short term in duration and will not create significant impacts. (b.) No Impact. The proposed project would not include the development of land uses that would generate substantial ground - borne vibration or noise or use construction activities that would have such effects. No structures are proposed that would require heavy footings where the use of heavy pile drivers would be required. (d.) Less than significant impact. Construction activity on the site has the potential to generate high noise levels on and adjacent to the project site intermittently during project development activities. During construction, the highest mise levels would result from operation of heavy equipment, which can be expected to generate noise levels of between 85 to 90 decibels (dBA) at a distance of 50 feet from the source. Noise levels will be reduced, however, by a factor of six dBA with each doubling of distance from the noise source and by intervening topography. Construction noise activities related to the construction is temporary in nature and is not seen will not be significant, given the distance, 350 feet to adjacent land uses. The General Plan Health and Safety Element policy HS -P1.7 limits noise generating construction activities located within 1,000 feet of residential uses to daytime hours between 7:00am and 6:00 pm on weekdays and non -holidays. The anticipated noise generated by the project, construction and the back-up generator, are considered exemptions under B.ttte County Code Section 24-153 B.

F -3r MetroPCS I performed the study with one 1.25MHz CDMA -PCS carrier transmitting a maximum ERP (effective radiated power) of 389W, one 1.25MHz CDMA-EVDO carrier transmitting a maximum ERP (effective radiated power) of 389W and one 5MHz LTE -AWS carrier transmitting a maximum ERP (effective radiated power) of 1455161. Calculations were performed for MetroPCS at a radiation center of 78 feet for all three technologies. The ANSI standard ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 sets the maximum exposure level for persons in the vicinity of a continuously radiating source. The standard is intended to insure exposure levels are safe for all persons based upon cur7ent scientific knowledge by groups' of experts in a number of biological and engineering fields. This study is ;a worst-case scenario using guidelines recommended by ANSI to calculate the energy density at a given point away from the radiating antennas. 1 make one assumption, which causes this study to be a worst-case scenario. The assumption is that the radios are all radiating at maximum power at all times. The maximum power density for this site at various distances from the site is shown in the table on the following page. The ANSI standard for the PCS band is 1.00 mW/cm2 for a uncontrolled environment and 5.00 mW/cm7 for an uncontrolled environment. At the base of the tower the MetroPCS 0.43% of the ANSI standard for an uncontrolled environment and 0.09% of the ANSI standard for a controlled environment. I certify that the that the radio frequency levels meet Federal standards, and that the facility will not Interfere wits the City's or other public entities emergency broadcast systems?

The collation, located on the addition, will include a total of six (6) new antennas at a proposed height of 77-78 feet. One 2' diameter micro -wave dish will be located below the antennas. Ground equipment and shelter will be located in a 169 square foot leased area within the footprint of the existing tower. Access to the tower will be via an easement using an existing driveway. Determination: Based on a review of the project as proposed, the Department of Fish and Game has determined that for purposes of the assessment of CEQA filing fees (Fish and Game Code [FGC] Section 711.4(c)) the project has no effect on fish, wildlife or their habitat and the project as described does not require payment of a CEQA filing fee. This determination does not in any way imply that the project is exempt from CEQA and does not determine the significance of any potential project effects evaluated pursuant to CEQA. Please retain this original determination for your records. Local lead agencies are required to file two copies of this determination with the county clerk at time of filing of the Notice of Determination (NOD) after the project is approved. State lead agencies are required to file two copies of this determination with the Office of Planning and Research (State Clearinghouse) at the time of filing the NOD. If you do not file a copy of this determination as appropriate with the county clerk or State Clearinghouse at the time of filing of the NOD, the appropriate CEQA filing fee will be due and payable.

CA 95630 (916) 984-2689 Phone (916) 984-2665 Fax Prepared below is a power density analysis for SAC301 Palermo, located at 6772 Lincoln Blvd, Oroville, CA 95966. For MetroPCS I performed the study with one 1.25MHz CDMA -PCS carrier transmitting a maximum ERP (effective radiated power) of 389W, one 1.25MHz CDMA-EVDO carrier transmitting a maximum ERP (effective radiated power) of 389W and one SMHz LTE -AWS carrier transmitting a maximum ERP (effective radiated power) of 1455W. Calculations were performed for MetroPCS at a radiation center of 78 feet for all three technologies. The ANSI standard ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 sets the maximum exposure level for persons in the vicinity of a continuously radiating source. The standard Is intended to insure exposure Levels are safe for all persons based upon current scientific knowledge by groups of experts in a number of biological and engineering fields. This study is a worst-case scenario using guidelines recommended by ANSI to calculate the energy density at a given point away from the radiating antennas. 1 make one assumption, which causes this study to be a worst-case scenario. The assumption is that the radios are all rad iating at maximum power at all times. The maximum power density for this site at various distances from the site Is shown in the table on the following page. The ANSI standard for the PCS band is 1.00 mW/cm2 for a uncontrolled environment and 5.00 mW/cm2 for an uncontrolled environment. At the base of the tower the MetroPCS OA3% of the ANSI standard for an uncontrolled environment and 0.09% of the ANSI standard for a controlled environment. certify that the that the radio frequency levels meet Federal standards, and that the facility will not interfere with the City's or other public entities emergency broadcast systems?

The top of the tower extension would be 80'-6-3/4" above ground level. The addition will include up to six (6) antennas mounted at a proposed height of 77' to 78', with a microwave dish (approximately 2' in diameter) being mounted directly underneath the antenna array. Initially four (4) antennas will placed on the tower. Two (2) of the antennas are approximately 81" tall, 7.7" wide and 4.8" deep and two (2) of the antennas are approximately 81" tall, 11.3" wide and 5.3" deep. In addition up to sixteen (16) 7/8" coax cables, one (1) %:" microwave coax cable and a 169 sq ft equipment shelter area is proposed within the foot print of the existing tower. The applicant does not propose a permanent onsite back-up generator. During a power outage, the facility will b-, served with a four-hour battery back-up system. The applicant would provide a temporary diesel generator, on a trailer, until power is restored, as needed for service. No red obstruction lights or strobe lights are proposed to be placed on tlu� tower. Proposed setbacks from the extended tower to parcel boundaries are approximately as follows: East 430', West 200', North 56' and South 20' which is consistent with BCC section 24-181 D with a Minor Use Permit. Once constructed and operational, the communications facility would provide 24-hour service to customers seven days a week Apart from initial construction activity, no personnel will be stationed at the site. Routine maintenance and inspection of the facility would occur once a month during normal business hours. No water or sewer service is required as the site would normally be unmanned. (a.) No impact. No new parcels or substantial development would result from this project. The project would no•` divide any established community. (b.) Less than significant impact. The lattice tower extension would result in an additional 12' above the existing 68'-6- 3/4" PG&E transmission tower, or a proposed height of 80'-6-3/4". The proposed project is located in an area zoned Ver} Low Density Residential (VLDR). Although the collocation of wireless communication facilities is permitted with ar Administrative permit in the VLDR zones, adding additional height to the existing facility requires a Minor Use Permit. The proposed wireless communications facility is a public utility because it is regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission. Butte County Code Section 24-181 D, Utility Pole Mounted or Power Transmission Tower Mounted Facilities, addresses additional height and setback requirements: 1. Facilities mounted on an existing utility pole or transmission tower are not subject to setbacks. 2. Facilities mounted on an existing utility pole or transmission tower may increase overall height by up to 20 percent of the existing facility's total height through the approval of a Minor Use Permit. Lattice towers have a very low probability of failure, especially in areas where substantial ice does not form. If it should fall down, it would not fall into areas of high human activity. A building permit is required for the proposed extension and the Butte County Building Division would review the building plans for the lattice tower and extension for compliance with all applicable structural requirements of the International Building Code. For the approval of the Minor Use Permit, the project shall comply with applicable standards in the Zoning Ordinance, other County ordinances, the General Plan, any other applicable community or specific plan, and the County Improvement Standards, and can make the following findings: 1. The proposed use is allowed in the applicable zone. 2. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use will be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity of the subject property. 3. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare of the County. 4. The proposed use is properly located within the County and adequately served by existing or planned services and infrastructure. 5. The size, shape, and other physical characteristics of the subject property are adequate to ensure compatibility of the proposed use with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity of the subject property. This Initial Study, based on information from planning staff and the applicant, confirms compliance with all land use plans and policies and ensure the proposed project would not impair the health, welfare, or safety of Butte County residents.

Unlike television and radio transmitters which work at full power all the time, a mobile phone site is designed to control its output so that it provides exactly the signal strength required to handle the number of calls. being made at that moment, no more and no less. Therefore, if no calls are being made at any one moment, the cell site will virtually shut itself down. Wireless communication systems are, by design and operation, low-power devices. Even under maximum exposure conditions, in which all channels are operating at full power, public exposure from a wireless facility will typically be lesE than 1 microwatts per centimeter squared (µW/cm2) for an uncontrolled environment and 5 microwatts per centimeter squared (µW/cm2) for a controlled environment. This exposure is lower than; by more than 1,200 times, the currena American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the National Council on' Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) report public exposure standards. The current ANSI and NCRP maximum allowable exposures are set at levels 5C times higher than the majority of the scientific community believes may pose a health risk to human populations. The applicant submitted an analysis of the radio-frequency emissions that would be generated by the project, and it is attached at the end of the study. The facility is projected to produce approximately 0.02 to 0.43% of the ANSI standard for the cellular frequency, depending on the distance from the transmission tower.

Construction activities associated with the development of the proposed project would involve the use of potentially hazardous materials, including paints, cleaning materials, vehicle fuels, oils, and transmission fluids. However, all potentially hazardous materials would be contained, stored, and used in accordance with manufacturers' instructions and handled in compliance with applicable standards and regulations. Implementation of the proposed project would result in the development of a wireless communications facility. It is not anticipated that large quantities of hazardous materials would be permanently stored or used within the project site. Similarly, the project would not emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous materials. Small quantities of publicly - available hazardous materials (e.g., paint, maintenance supplies) may be routinely used within the project site for maintenance and cleaning. However, these materials would not be used in sufficient strength or quantity to create a substantial risk of fire or explosion, or otherwise pose a substantial risk to human or environmental health. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not create a permanent significant hazard to the public or environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. The proposed communications facility is proposed to utilize during a power outage, a temporary diesel generator, on a trailer, until power is restored. It is not anticipated that temporary diesel generator or batteries will require a "Hazardous Materials Release Response Plan."

People living near the proposed communications facility have the potential to be exposed to radio-frequency (RF) emissions from the antennas mounted on the transmission tower. The nearest residential dwelling to the proposed communication facility is approximately 350 feet. Wireless communication systems emit non -ionizing, electromagnetic energy. The perceived health risk of this emission has been identified as a potential public health and safety issue. However, no studies to date have demonstrated a specific correlation between wireless communication facilities and health problems.

Conflict with an applicable plan, policy or regulation adopted for the purpose of reducing the emissions of X greenhousegases? Impact Discussion: Section 15064.4 of the CEQA Guidelines sets forth guidance for determining the significance of Impacts from Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The guidelines allow impacts from a particular project to be described quantitatively or qualitatively and direct that impacts should be evaluated in consideration of existing environmental setting, applicable thresholds of significance, and compliance with regulations and requirements adopted to implement the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. Section 15064 (h)(3)of the CEQA Guidelines specifies that a project's contribution to a cumulative effect may be found `not cumulatively considerable' if the project will comply with the requirements in a previously approved plan or mitigation program, including plans or regulations for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Butte County has not adopted a plan or mitigation program for the reduction of greenhouse gases as of the publication of this study. Likewise, it has not adopted thresholds of significance for evaluating greenhouse gas emissions. This section evaluates greenhouse gas emissions relative to the existing environmental setting and compliance with air quality regulations relative to automobile emissions, the primary contributor to greenhouse gas emissions from the proposed project. (a.)(h.) Less Than Significant Impact. The proposed project would have short term increase in traffic during construction of the wireless communication facilities. Once constructed, the facilities would be visited one or twice a month for routine maintenance of equipment. The project would create a less than significant contribution to overall emissions and would be consistent with adopted air quality regulations. During a power outage, the applicant would provide a temporary diesel generator, on a trailer, until power is restored.

(a.3.) Less Than Significant Impact. The Seismic Safety Element of the Butte County General Plan indicates that all of Butte County is in Moderate Earthquake Intensity Zone VIII. The site is not within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake fault zone or an aftershock zone. The only known active fault in Butte County is the Cleveland Hill fault, where activity on August 1, 1975 resulted in the Oroville earthquake. This earthquake had a Richter magnitude of 5.7 and resulted in approximately 2.2 miles of ground rupture along the western flank of Cleveland Hill. No impacts are anticipated since no rupture of a known earthquake fault exists in the project area. Like most of central California, the site can be expected to be subjected to seismic ground shaking at some future time. Accordingly, the proposed wireless communications facility extension would be designed and installed in accordance with International Building Code requirements. Because the project appears to be located such that the probability of significant groundshaking is low, and because any structures that are built during the course of the project will be designed and installed in accordance with International Building Code standards for the appropriate Seismic Hazard Zone, potential geologic impacts would be.

The project does not involve large amounts of soil disturbance that could result in significant soil erosion impacts. The construction activities would result in a land disturbance of less than one acre and therefore are not expected to require a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Permit (SWPPP) from State Water Resources Control Board prior to construction. Due to the relatively small amount of soils disturbance required for construction, erosion potential will be (a) Less Than Significant Impact. The Butte County Seismic Safety Element's Maps indicates that the site has a generally moderate potential for liquefaction, a low potential for expansion, and a Low to moderate potential for landslide. Due to the relatively small amount of soils disturbance required for construction, the potential for unstable soils is minimal. (d) Less than significant. The Conservation Element's Expansive Soils Map indicates that the project site has a high expansive soil potential. The project would be required to comply with applicable portions of the International Building Code as adopted by Butte County, which would offset potential impacts resulting from expansive soils.

Such species may be considered "rare" and are vulnerable to extirpation as the state's human population grows and the habitats these species occupy are converted to agricultural and urban uses. A sizable number of native species and animals have been formally designated as threatened or endangered under State and Federal endangered species legislation. Others have been designated as "Candidates" for such listing; still others have been designated as "Species of Special Concern" by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG). The California Native Plant Society (CLAPS) has developed its own set of lists of native plants considered rare, threatened or endangered. Collectively, these plants and animals are referred to as "special status species." (a.)(g.)(h.)(i.) Less than significant impact. Given the relatively small scope of the project (a height extension to an existing lattice tower and small equipment shelter), previous disturbance/grading on the site, and its proximity to Olive Highway, the project is not anticipated to have any impacts to special status species or to general wildlife number or migratory condors. (b.)(c) No impact. Site inspection revealed no indicators of wetlands or riparian vegetation in the vicinity of the project. The site area is covered in grass and has been disturbed over time. The project is not located within a constraint map (moderate, high or very high) for biological resources associated with the Butte Regional Conservation Plan. (d)U.) Less Than Significant Impact. The construction of new communication tower creates a potentially significant impact on migratory birds, especially some 350 species of night -migrating birds. Communications towers are estimated to kill 4-5 million birds per year, which violates the spirit and the intent of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Code of Federal Regulations at Part 50 designed to implement the MBTA. Some of the species affected are also protected under the Endangered Species Act and Bald and Golden Eagle Act. Interim guidelines were developed by Fish and Wildlife Service personnel from research conducted in several eastern, midwestern, and southern states, and have been refined through Regional review. They are based on the best information available at this time, and are the most prudent and effective measures for avoiding bird strikes at monopoles. Some of the guidelines are: • New facilities should be collocated on existing towers or other existing structures. • Towers should be less than 200 feet above ground level • Towers should be freestanding (i.e., no guy wires) • Towers and appendant facilities should be sited, designed and constructed so as to avoid or minimize habitat loss within and adjacent to the monopole "footprint". • New towers should be designed structurally and electrically to accommodate the applicant/licensee's antennas and antennas for at least two additional users (minimum of three users for each monopole structure. • Security lighting for on -ground facilities and equipment should be down -shielded to keep light within the boundaries of the site. • Monopoles no longer in use or determined to be obsolete should be removed within 12 months of cessation of use. The project is consistent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service interim guidelines because the proposed addition (12') would be added to the existing PG&E transmission tower (68'-3/4") would be much less than 200 feet in height. The footprint of the proposed lease area would not encroach onto any environmentally sensitive habitat. (e) No impact. The project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. (f) No impact. This site is located within the area for which the area of the Butte Regional Conservation Plan (BRCP) coordinated by the Butte County Association of Governments; however it is not presently within an adopted HCP/NCCP or other approved habitat conservation plan area. The proposal would not conflict with the adoption of the future BRCP, local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan. (k) Less Than Significant Impact. All exterior lights on the project site are required to be fully shielded and directed downward. The 169 square foot leased area containing ground equipment will fenced for security reasons, but is small enough so as not to inhibit migratory patterns or normal wildlife activities. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Metro PCS, MUP12-0003 ■ Page 9 of 30 ■ 27 Project Name: Use Permit MUP12-0003 for Metro PCS 4.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES: Impact Discussion: The project site is on a previously graded site containing a PG&E tower and non-native grasslands.

Geographic areas are designated "attainment" if these standards are met and "nonattainment" if they are not met. In addition, each agency has several levels of classifications based on severity of the problem. Butte County and all northern Sacramento Valley Air Districts have been designated as "moderate" nonattainment areas for the state standards for ozone (03) and fine particulate matter (PM1o). Currently, Butte County is in attainment for all the federal (less stringent) air quality standards. (a)(b.)(c.)(d)(e.) No Impact. The project is not expected to create any significant amounts of fugitive dust, oxides of nitrogen, or reactive organic gases emissions. The applicant does not propose a permanent onsite back-up generator. During a power outage, the applicant would provide a temporary diesel generator, on a trailer, until power is restored. The project is not expected to generate any significant amounts of fugitive dust because the only soil disturbance would be some very minor excavation for the concrete slabs that the equipment cabinets, ground cables and electrical service. Due to its limited construction and operational scope, the project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan. Negligible amounts of emissions would be generated by construction equipment during site development activities, because of the limited amount of construction equipment and time needed to install the extension, antennas, and equipment cabinets. The limited scope of the project's construction and operational phases will have no impact upon any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non -attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ C ■ Initial Study — Metro PCS, MUP12-0003 ■ Page 7 of 30 ■ J Less Than Reviewed Potentially Significant Less Than No Under Would the proposal: Significant with Significant Impact Previous Impact Mitigation Impact Document Incorporated a.

Proposed setbacks from the extended tower to parcel boundaries are approximately as follows: East 430', West 200', North 56' and South 20'. Once constructed and operational, the communications facility would provide 24-hour service to customers seven days a week, except in the event of power outages in which case a temporary diesel generator will be brought to the site to provide power until regular power is restored. Apart from initial construction activity, no personnel will be stationed at the site. Routine maintenance and inspection of the facility would occur once a month during normal business hours. No water or sewer service is required as the site would normally be unmanned. The applicant supplied photo simulation of the existing tower and proposed extension, which is attached at the back of this report.. The proposed 12' box/extension will be visibly insignificant in relationship to the existing 68'-6-3/4" PG&E tower, especially given the facility is be located approximately 350 feet from the closest residence. The lease area is within an existing PG&E easement, and the applicant has indicated that PG&E does not want landscaping within its easement. Due to the location of PG&E tower on the parcel, the base of the tower is screened by existing structures vegetation and fencing, so it would not be visible from Lincoln Boulevard or adjacent parcels. Based on these factors, the location proposed will result in a less than significant impact to scenic resources and adjacent parcels.

The project site is zoned VLDR (Very Low Density Residential), which is primarily utilized for residential uses at this location. No agricultural uses exist on the site or in the project vicinity. The site is designated as "Urban and Built-up Land" in the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP). In 2010, the California Resources Agency issued the Important Farmlands Map for Butte County identifying Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, Unique Farmland, and Grazing land. The "Urban and Built -Up Land" designation is described as: Land that is occupied by structures with a building density of at least 1 unit to 1.5 acres, or approximately 6 structures to a 10 -acre parcel. Common examples include residential, industrial, commercial, institutional facilities, cemeteries, airports, golf courses, sanitary landfills, sewage treatment, and water control structures. Due to the land use patterns on site and in the surrounding parcels, the project site is unsuited to commercial cultivation.

SITE CHARACTERISTICS: The project parcel is zoned Agricultural Residential, 1 -acre minimum (AR -1) until December 10, 2012 when the new Official Butte County Zoning Map becomes effective, following adoption of the comprehensive zoning update. If no legal challenges are received to the new Official Zoning Map, the zoning of the Project site will be Very Low Density Residential as of December 10, 2012. The site is designated Very Low Density Residential by the Butte County General Plan Adjacent zoning, general plan designations and land use are presented below: Direction General Plan Desienation North VLDR East VLDR South VLDR West City of Oroville (Resource Oroville Conservation/Safety & (M-2) Industrial with South Ophir Specific Plan Area Overlay Zoning Existing Land Use(s) VLDR Rural Residential VLDR Rural Residential VLDR Rural Residential Oroville Vacant (M-2) • The 169 SF lease area (where the tower and ground equipment are located) are proposed to be surrounded by a six foot high chain link fence.

ANALYSIS: Zoning Consistency • Telecommunication Facilities are regulated under Butte County Code (BCC) Chapter 24, Article 26. • The existing PG&E transmission tower is 68'-6-3/4" in height. An additional 12' is proposed to be added: This is a 17.45% addition to the height of the tower, which is consistent with BCC section 24-181 D 2: Facilities mounted on an existing utility pole or transmission tower may increase overall height by up to 20% of the existing facility's total height through the approval of a minor use permit. • Setback requirements are consistent with BCC section 24-181 D 1. Facilities mounted on an existing utility pole or transmission tower are not subject to setbacks. Criteria for Granting a Minor Use Permit The criteria for granting a minor use permit for the 12' extension to the PG&E tower derive both from the generally criteria for granting all minor use permits (BCC section 24-222) as well as the specific criteria for Utility Pole Mounted or Power Transmission Tower Mounted Facilities (BCC section 24-181 D 1 & 2). BCC section 24-222 Findings A. The proposed use is allowed in the applicable zone. The project is zoned VLDR (Very Low Density Residential). The VLDR zone normally requires a use permit to site additional heights to telecommunications facilities, but BCC section 24-181 D allows for adding height to an existing utility pole or transmission tower with a minor use permit. Setback requirements for facilities mounted on existing utility poles or transmission towers are not subject to setbacks (BCC section 24-181 D 1). The additional height, 12 feet, to the existing transmission tower, 68 feet, is consistent with BCC section 24-181 D 2, which allows for a 20 percent increase in the overall height of the existing tower. B. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use will be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity of the subject property. The project site is located in an area of rural residential to the north, south and east. Parcels to the west are located within the City of Oroville. They are zoned M-2 industrial and are currently undeveloped. The addition of height (12 feet) to the existing transmission tower eliminates the requirement to locate a new tower that will create an additional visual impact to the surrounding area. The base of the tower is ■ Butte County PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ December 13, 2012 ■ Metro PCS MUP12-0003 Agenda Report ■ Page 3 of 16 ■ located in the rear half of the parcel and is well screened by existing development, landscaping and fencing. C. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare of the County. The Initial Study/Negative Declaration for the project concluded that people living near the proposed communications facility would not be exposed to significant levels of radio frequency (RF) emissions from the antennas mounted on the transmission tower. The nearest residential dwelling to the proposed communication facility is approximately 350 feet. Wireless communication systems emit non -ionizing, electromagnetic energy. No studies to date have demonstrated a specific correlation between wireless communication facilities and health problems. Wireless communication systems are, by design and operation, low-power devices. Even under maximum exposure conditions, in which all channels are operating at full power, public exposure from a wireless facility will typically be less than I microwatts per centimeter squared (µW/cm2) for an uncontrolled environment and 5 microwatts per centimeter squared (µW/cm2) for a controlled environment. This exposure is lower than, by more than 1,200 times, the current American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) report public exposure standards. The current ANSI and NCRP maximum allowable exposures are set at levels 50 times higher than the majority of the scientific community believes may pose a health risk to human populations. The applicant submitted an analysis of the radio-frequency emissions that would be generated by the project, and it is attached at the end of the initial study/negative declaration. The facility is projected to produce approximately 0.02 to 0.43% of the ANSI standard for the cellular frequency, depending on the distance from the transmission tower. These results were calculated taking this site's specific antenna patterns into account and are not a significant risk to public health, safety and welfare. D. The proposed use is properly located within the County and adequately served by existing or planned services and infrastructure. Implementation of the project would not require domestic water or wastewater treatment, or solid waste facilities. It would not be in non-compliance with any statutes or regulations relating to solid waste, nor would it employ equipment that would introduce interference into any system. Thus, the project would have no impact on any utilities or service systems. Vehicular access and a utility easement are proposed within a 12' PG&E access and utility route easement. The project would not increase the level of demand for fire protection service needed on the site because wireless communication facilities do not normally require such services. The project site would not appear subject to large grass fires due to its location on an existing PG&E tower and the surrounding rural residential uses. The proposal is not expected to result in an increase in demand for police services because wireless communication facilities do not normally require such services. ■ Butte County PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ December 13, 2012 ■ Metro PCS MUP12-0003 Agenda Report ■ Page 4 of 16 ■ EXHIBIT A MINOR USE PERMIT BUTTE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: (Certified Mail Ree.)

The project would not result in any impacts to area parks and facilities. E. The size, shape, and other physical characteristics of the subject property are adequate to ensure compatibility of the proposed use with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity of the subject property. Two PG&E transmission towers already exist on site. The addition of 12 feet to one of the 68 foot towers will not require additional tower support. The project does not propose a permanent onsite back-up generator. During a power outage, the facility will be served with a four-hour battery back-up system. The applicant would provide a temporary diesel generator, on a trailer, until power is restored, as needed for service. No red obstruction lights or strobe lights are proposed to be placed on the tower. The project, with project conditions, complies with the required findings to approve a minor use permit. Land Use • The project would not result in a significant increase in air emissions, fugitive dust emissions, light, noise, or vehicle traffic. • Only a minor amount of construction activity would be required to install the proposed antennas and wiring. • The proposed tower addition and antennas are not expected to create any significant visual impacts because they would increase the height of the existing 68'-6-3/4" tower by approximately twelve (12') feet. • Photo simulations (see Initial Study) of the proposed antennas show that they would not significantly change the appearance of the tower. • The project site is not located within an Airport Compatibility Zone. Radio -Frequency (RF) Emissions • A radio-frequency analysis, prepared by a registered electrical engineer (Jerry Smith, Senior Radio Frequency Engineer with Metro PCS) and incorporated in the project file, determined that the emissions from the existing and proposed antennas would not exceed the Federal Communication Commission's (FCC) general exposure limits at ground level in any uncontrolled areas. Wireless communication systems are, by design and operation, low-power devices. Even under maximum exposure conditions, in which all channels are operating at full power, public exposure from a wireless facility will typically be less than 1 microwatts per centimeter squared (µW/cm2) for an uncontrolled environment and 5 microwatts per centimeter squared (µW/cm2) for a controlled environment. This exposure is lower than, by more than 1,200 times, the current American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). report public exposure standards. The current ANSI and ■ Butte County PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ C ■ December 13, 2012 ■ Metro PCS MUP12-0003 Agenda Report ■ Page 5 of 16 ■ J NCRP maximum allowable exposures are set at levels 50 times higher than the majority of the scientific community believes may pose a health risk to human populations. • The facility is projected to produce approximately 0.02 to 0.43% of the ANSI standard for the cellular frequency, depending on the distance from the transmission tower. These results were calculated taking this site's specific antenna patterns into account. • The proposed operation of the site would be in compliance with the FCC requirements for public exposure to RF radiation.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Planning Commission: I. Adopts a Negative Declaration with the following findings: A. An Initial Study was completed in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act. Said study identified no significant environmental effects with implementation of Butte County Code, Chapter 24, Article 26, Telecommunication Facilities, and Article 24 Land Use Compatibility Standards. B. The Planning Commission has considered the Negative Declaration, together with comments received during the review process. C. On the basis of the whole record before the Planning Commission, including the Initial Study and any comments received, there is no substantial evidence that the Use Permit for Metro PCS, Planning Division File No. MUP12-0003, would have a significant effect on the environment. D. The Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the County, which is the Lead Agency. E. The custodian of the record is the Department of Development Services. The location of the record is 7 County Center Drive, Oroville CA 95965. II. Finds that based on a review of the project as proposed, the Department of Fish and Game has determined that for purposes of the assessment of CEQA filing fees (Fish and Game Code [FGC] Section 711.4(c)) the project has no effect on fish, wildlife or their habitat and the project as described does not require payment of a CEQA filing fee. ■ Butte County PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ December 13, 2012 ■ Metro PCS MUP12-0003 Agenda Report ■ Page 8 of 16 ■ III. Makes the following Minor Use Permit findings: A. The proposed use is allowed in the applicable zone. The project is zoned VLDR (Very Low Density Residential). The VLDR zone normally requires a use permit to site additional heights to telecommunications facilities, but BCC section 24-181 D allows for adding height to an existing utility pole or transmission tower with a minor use permit. Setback requirements for facilities mounted on existing utility poles or transmission towers are not subject to setbacks (BCC section 24-181 D 1). The additional height, 12 feet, to the existing transmission tower, 68 feet, is consistent with BCC section 24-181 D 2, which allows for a 20 percent increase in the overall height of the existing tower. B. The location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use will be compatible with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity of the subject property. The project site is located in an area of rural residential to the north, south and east. Parcels to the west are located within the City of Oroville. They are zoned M-2 industrial and are currently undeveloped. The addition of height (12 feet) to the existing transmission tower eliminates the requirement to locate a new tower that will create an additional visual impact to the surrounding area. The base of the tower is located in the rear half of the parcel and is well screened by existing development, landscaping and fencing. C. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare of the County. The Initial Study/Negative Declaration for the project concluded that people living near the proposed communications facility would not be exposed to significant levels of radio-frequency (RF) emissions from the antennas mounted on the transmission tower. The nearest residential dwelling to the proposed communication facility is approximately 350 feet. Wireless communication systems emit non -ionizing, electromagnetic energy. No studies to date have demonstrated a specific correlation between wireless communication facilities and health problems. Wireless communication systems are, by design and operation, low-power devices. Even under maximum exposure conditions, in which all channels are operating at full power, public exposure from a wireless facility will typically be less than I microwatts per centimeter squared (,UW/cm2) for an uncontrolled environment and 5 microwatts per centimeter squared (pW/cm2) for a controlled environment. This exposure is lower than, by more than 1,200 times, the current American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) report public exposure standards. The current ANSI and NCRP maximum allowable exposures are set at levels 50 times higher than the majority of the scientific community believes may pose a health risk to human populations. The applicant submitted an analysis of the radio-frequency emissions that would ■ Butte County PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ December 13, 2012 ■ Metro PCS MUP12-0003 Agenda Report ■ Page 9 of 16 ■ be generated by the project, and it is attached at the end of the initial study/negative declaration. The facility is projected to produce approximately 0. 02 to 0.43% of the ANSI standard for the cellular frequency, depending on the distance from the transmission tower. These results were calculated taking this site's specific antenna patterns into account and are not a significant risk to public health, safety and welfare. D. The proposed use is properly located within the County and adequately served by existing or planned services and infrastructure. Implementation of the project would not require domestic water or wastewater treatment, or solid waste facilities. It would not be in non- compliance with any statutes or regulations relating to solid waste, nor would it employ equipment that would introduce interference into any system. Thus, the project would have no impact on any utilities or service systems. Vehicular access and a utility easement are proposed within a 12' PG&E access and utility route easement. The project would not increase the level of demand for fire protection service needed on the site because wireless communication facilities do not normally require such services. The project site would not appear subject to large grassfires due to its location on an existing PG&E tower and the surrounding rural residential uses. The proposal is not expected to result in an increase in demand for police services because wireless communication facilities do not normally require such services. The proposal would not result in an increase in demand for school facilities in the area. The project would not result in any impacts to area parks and facilities. E. The size, shape, and other physical characteristics of the subject property are adequate to ensure compatibility of the proposed use with the existing and future land uses in the vicinity of the subject property. Two PG&E transmission towers already exist on site. The addition of 12 feet to one of the 68 foot towers will not require additional tower support. The project does not propose a permanent onsite back-up generator. During a power outage, the facility will be served with a four-hour battery back-up system. The applicant would provide a temporary diesel generator, on a trailer, until power is restored, as needed for service. No red obstruction lights or strobe lights are proposed to be placed on the tower. F. Based on the above findings, the proposed location, size, design, and operating characteristics of the proposed use and the conditions under which it would be operated or maintained would not be detrimental to the public health, safety, or welfare, or injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity. ■ Butte County PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ O ■ December 13, 2012 ■ Metro PCS MUP12-0003 Agenda Report ■ Page 10 of 16 ■ G. The radio-frequency emissions generated by the antennas on the communications tower would be below the public exposure limits set by the FCC for wireless communication facilities. H. The proposed antennas would not create any impacts to aircraft operations because they will not substantially increase the height of the previously approved communications tower nor extend horizontally beyond the other proposed antennas. I. Wireless telephone services are regulated by the California Public Utilities. Commission and are considered to be a public use consistent with the Highway Commercial zone and the LDR General Plan land use designation. IV. The project does not conflict with any of the General Plan Policies. V. Approves Minor Use Permit MUP12-0003 for Metro PCS, subject to the findings and conditions in Exhibit "A" A. The proposed use will comply with each of the applicable provisions of Butte County Code Chapter 24, Article 24 Land Use Compatibility Standards and Article 26 Telecommunications Facilities. Conditions of approval have been applied to this project pursuant to the applicable requirements of Butte County Code Chapter 24, Article 26 (Telecommunication Facilities). The project is in accord with the purposes of the VLDR (Very Low Density Residential) and the Butte County General Plan designation of Very Low Density Residential. ■ Butte County PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT . 11 ■ December.13, 2012 ■ Metro PCS MUP12-0003 Agenda Report ■ Page 11 of 16 ■ DULY PASSED AND ADOPTED this 13th day of December, 2012, by the following vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: ABSTAIN: Ed Becker, Chair Planning Commission County of Butte, State of California ATTEST: Kim McMillan, Secretary Planning Commission County of Butte, State of California ■ Butte County PLANNING COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT ■ ■ December 13, 2012 ■ Metro PCS MUP12-0003 Agenda Report ■ Page 12 of 16 ■ Environmental Health Division 6.

Proposal: The applicant requests a Minor Use Permit to add 12' to an existing 68' 6-3/4" PG&E transmission tower for collocation/utilization as a wireless communications facility. The top of the tower extension would be 80'-6-3/4" above ground level. The addition will include up to six (6) antennas mounted at a proposed height of 77' to 78', with a microwave dish (approximately 2' in diameter) being mounted directly underneath the antenna array. Initially four (4) antennas will placed on the tower. Two (2) of the antennas are approximately 81" tall, 7.7" wide and 4.8" deep and two (2) of the antennas are approximately 81" tall, 11.3" wide and 5.3" deep. In addition up to sixteen (16) 7/8" coax cables, one (1) ''/2" microwave coax cable and a 169 sq ft equipment shelter area is proposed within the foot print of the existing tower. The applicant does not propose a permanent onsite back-up generator. During a power outage, the facility will be served with a four-hour battery back-up system. The applicant would provide a temporary diesel generator, on a trailer, until power is restored, as needed for service. No red obstruction lights or strobe lights are proposed to be placed on the tower. The tower extension requires a minor use permit per adopted Butte County Code section 24-181 D, General Requirements. Proposed setbacks from the existing tower to parcel boundaries are approximately as follows: East 430', West 200', North 56' and South 20'. CEQA requires this notice to disclose whether any listed toxic sites are present on the project site. The project sites do not contain a listed toxic site.

Subsequent to mailing of the public hearing notice, County staff has determined the application is unable to proceed to a public hearing at this time due to the proposed setback of the transmission tower/telecommunications facility being inconsistent with the requirements of Butte County Code Section 24-262(g)(2)b. As a result, the public hearing for this application at the September 27, 2012 Planning Commission Hearing has been canceled. If this project proceeds to public hearing at a future date, a new.notice of intent to adopt a negative declaration and notice of public hearing will be mailed to you.. At the September 27, 2012 Planning Commission meeting, the Commission will be reviewing Ia comprehensive update to the Zoning Ordinance and making a recommendation for its adoption to the Board of Supervisors. As part of this update, the Planning Division will propose an amendment to allow reduced setbacks for telecommunication facilities on existing utility transmission towers as part of a Conditional Use Permit (§24-181 Telecommunication Facilities. General- Requirements of . the Draft Zoning Ordinance). All interested persons are invited to attend this meeting, or submit written comments, on this proposed change to the Draft Zoning Ordinance.

The applicant supplied photo simulation of the existing tower and proposed extension, which is attached at the back of thiE report. The proposed 12' box/extension will be visibly insignificant in relationship to the existing 68'-6-3/4" PG&E tower especially given the facility is be located approximately 350 feet from the closest residence. The lease area is within an existing PG&E easement, and the applicant has indicated that PG&E does not want landscaping within its easement. Due to the location of PG&E tower on the parcel, the base of the tower is screened by existing structures vegetation and fencing, so it would not be visible from Lincoln Boulevard or adjacent parcels. Based on these factors, the location proposed will result in a less than significant impact to scenic resources and adjacent parcels.

No agricultural uses exist on the site or in the project vicinity. The site is designated as "Urban and Built-up Land" in the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP). In June 2007, the California Resources Agency issued the Important Farmlands Map for Butte County identifying Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, Unique Farmland, and Grazing land. The "Urban and Built -Up Land" designation is described as: Land that is occupied by structures with a building density of at least I unit to 1.5 acres, or approximately 6 structures to a 10 -acre parcel. Common examples include residential, industrial, commercial, institutional facilities, cemeteries, airports, golf courses, sanitary landfills, sewage treatment, and water control structures. Due to the land use patterns on site and in the surrounding parcels, the project site is unsuited to commercial cultivation. The proposed project would not result in a loss of prime agricultural land. None of the parcels surrounding the project site are subject to a Williamson Act agreement.

Geographic areas are designated "attainment" if these standards are met and "nonattainment" if they are not met. In addition, each agency has several levels of classifications based on severity of the problem. Butte County and all northern Sacramento Valley Air Districts have been designated as "moderate"' nonattainment areas for the state standards for ozone (03) and fine particulate matter (PM,o). Currently, Butte County is in attainment for all the federal (less stringent) air quality standards. (a.)(b.)(c.)(d.)(e) No Impact. The project is not expected to create any significant amounts of fugitive dust, oxides of nitrogen, or reactive organic gases emissions. The applicant does not propose a permanent onsite back-up generator. During a power outage, the applicant would provide a temporary diesel generator, on a trailer, until power is restored. The project is not expected to generate any significant amounts of fugitive dust because the only soil disturbance would be some very minor excavation for the concrete slabs that the equipment cabinets, ground cables and electrical service. Due to its limited construction and operational scope, the project would not conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan. Negligible amounts of emissions would be generated by construction equipment during site development activities, because of the limited amount of construction equipment and time needed to install the extension, antennas, and equipment cabinets. The limited scope of the project's construction and operational phases will have no impact upon any criteria pollutant for which the project region is non -attainment under an applicable federal or state ambient air quality standard. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Metro PCS, UPI 2-0001 ■ Page 7 of 29 ■ Potentially Less Than Significant Less Than Reviewed Would the proposal: Significant with Significant No Impact Under Previous Impact Mitigation Impact Document Incorporated a.

Such species may be considered "rare" and are vulnerable to extirpation as the state's human population grows and the habitats these species occupy are converted to agricultural and urban uses. A sizable number of native species and animals have been formally designated as threatened or endangered under State and Federal endangered species legislation. Others have been designated as "Candidates" for such listing; still others have been designated as "Species of Special Concern" by the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG). The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) has developed its own set of lists of native plants considered rare, threatened or endangered. Collectively, these plants and animals are referred to as "special status species." (a.)(g.)(h.)(r.) Less than significant impact. Given the relatively small scope of the project (a height extension to an existing lattice tower and small equipment shelter), previous disturbance/grading on the site, and its proximity to Olive Highway, the project is not anticipated to have any impacts to special status species or to general wildlife number or migratory corridors. (b.)(c) No impact. Site inspection revealed no indicators of wetlands or riparian vegetation in the vicinity of the project. The site area is covered in grass and has been disturbed over time. The project is not located within a constraint map (moderate, high or very high) for biological resources associated with the Butte Regional Conservation Plan. (d)Q.) Less Than Significant Impact. The construction of new communication tower creates a potentially significant impact on migratory birds, especially some 350 species of night -migrating birds. Communications towers are estimated tc kill 4-5 million birds per year, which violates the spirit and the intent of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Code of Federal Regulations at Part 50 designed to implement the MBTA. Some of the species affected are also protected under the Endangered Species Act and Bald and Golden Eagle Act. Interim guidelines were developed by Fish and Wildlife Service personnel from research conducted in several eastern, midwestern, and southern states, and have been refined through Regional review. They are based on the best information available at this time, and are the most prudent and effective measures for avoiding bird strikes at monopoles. Some of the guidelines are: • New facilities should be collocated on existing towers or other existing structures. • Towers should be less than 200 feet above ground level • Towers should be freestanding (i.e., no guy wires) • Towers and appendant facilities should be sited, designed and constructed so as to avoid or minimize habitat loss within and adjacent to the monopole "footprint". • New towers should be designed structurally and electrically to accommodate the applicant/licensee's antennas and antennas for at least two additional users (minimum of three users for each monopole structure. • Security lighting for on -ground facilities and equipment should be down -shielded to keep light within the boundaries of the site. • Monopoles no longer in use or determined to be obsolete should be removed within 12 months of cessation of use. The project is consistent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service interim guidelines because the proposed addition (12') would be added to the existing PG&E transmission tower (68'-3/4") would be much less than 200 feet in height. The footprint of the proposed lease area would not encroach onto any environmentally sensitive habitat. (e.) No impact. The project would not conflict with any local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources. (f) No impact. This site is located within the area for which the area of the Butte Regional Conservation Plan (BRCP) coordinated by the Butte County Association of Governments; however it is not presently within an adopted HCP/NCCP or other approved habitat conservation plan area. The proposal would not conflict with the adoption of the future BRCP, local policies or ordinances protecting biological resources, or other approved local, regional, or state habitat conservation plan. (/c) Less Than Significant Impact. All exterior lights on the project site are required to be fully shielded and directed downward. A landscaping buffer is required around the proposed lease area, per Butte County Code 24-262. The 169 square foot leased area containing ground equipment will fenced for security reasons , but is small enough so as not to inhibit migratory patterns or normal wildlife activities. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Metro PCS, UPI 2-0001 ■ Page 9 of 29 ■ • Project Name: Use Permit UPI 2-0001 for Metro PCS 4.5 CULTURAL RESOURCES: Impact Discussion: (a.)(b.)(c.)(d) Less Than Significant Impact.

X Impact Discussion: Section 15064.4 of the CEQA Guidelines sets forth guidance for determining the significance of Impacts from Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The guidelines allow impacts from a particular project to be described quantitatively or qualitatively and direct that impacts should be evaluated in consideration of existing environmental setting, applicable thresholds of significance, and compliance with regulations and requirements adopted to implement the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. Section 15064 (h)(3)of the CEQA Guidelines speces that a project's contribution to a cumulative effect may be found `not cumulatively considerable' if the project will comply with the requirements in a previously approved plan or mitigation program, including plans or regulations for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Butte County has not adopted a plan or mitigation program for the reduction of greenhouse gases as of the publication of this study. Likewise, it has not adopted thresholds of significance for evaluating greenhouse gas emissions. This section evaluates greenhouse gas emissions relative to the existing environmental setting and compliance with air quality regulations relative to automobile emissions, the primary contributor to greenhouse gas emissions from the proposed project.

Construction activities associated with the development of the proposed project would involve the use of potentially hazardous materials, including paints, cleaning materials, vehicle fuels, oils, and transmission fluids. However, all potentially hazardous materials would be contained, stored, and used in accordance with manufacturers' instructions and handled in compliance with applicable standards and regulations. Implementation of the proposed project would result in the development of a wireless communications facility. It is not anticipated that large quantities of hazardous materials would be permanently stored, or used within the project site. Similarly, the project would not emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous materials. Small quantities of publicly - available hazardous materials (e.g., paint, maintenance supplies) may be routinely used within the project site fon maintenance and cleaning. However, these materials would not be used in sufficient strength or quantity to create a substantial risk of fire or explosion, or otherwise pose a substantial risk to human or environmental health. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not create a permanent significant hazard to the public or environment through the routine transport, use, or disposal of hazardous materials. The proposed communications facility is proposed to utilize during a power outage, a temporary diesel generator, on a trailer, until power is restored. It is not anticipated that temporary diesel generator or batteries will require a "Hazardous Materials Release Response Plan."

The actual use of radio frequency transmission ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study —Metro PCS, UP12-0001 ■ Page 13 of 29 ■ • Project Name: Use Permit UPI 2-0001 for Metro PCS i • requires only a small amount of energy, making mobile phone technology one of the most efficient forms of communication available. Unlike television and radio transmitters which work at full power all the time, a mobile phone site is designed to control its output so that it provides exactly the signal strength required to handle the number of calls being made at that moment, no more and no less. Therefore, if no calls are being made at any one moment, the cell site will virtually shut itself down. Wireless communication systems are, by design and operation, low-power devices. Even under maximum exposure conditions, in which all channels are operating at full power, public exposure from a wireless facility will typically be less than 1 microwatts per centimeter squared (µW/cm2) for an uncontrolled environment and 5 microwatts per centimeter squared (µW/cm2) for a controlled environment. This exposure is lower than, by more than 1,200 times, the current American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) report public exposure standards. The current ANSI and NCRP maximum allowable exposures are set at levels 50 times higher than the majority of the scientific community believes may pose a health risk to human populations. The applicant submitted an analysis of the radio-frequency emissions that would be generated by the project, and it is attached at the end of the study. The facility is projected to produce approximately 0.02 to 0.43% of the ANSI standard for the cellular frequency, depending on the distance from the transmission tower. These results were calculated taking this site's specific antenna patterns into account. (d) No impact.

The applicant requests a use permit to add 12' to an existing 68'-6-3/4" PG&E transmission tower for- collocation/utilization as a wireless communications facility. The collocation will include up to six (6) panel antennas at a proposed height of 77-78 feet. In addition, one (1) microwave dish, coax cables and ground related equipment within the 169 sq ft lease area. The tower extension requires modification of the standard setback ratio of one foot of setback per one foot of monopole height, as permitted by Butte County Code section 24-262 (g) with Use Permit. Proposed setbacks from the extended tower to parcel boundaries are approximately as follows: East 430', West 200', North 56' and South 20'. Once constructed and operational, the communications facility would provide 24-hour service to customers seven days a week. Apart from initial construction activity, no personnel will be stationed at the site. Routine maintenance and inspection of the facility would occur once a month during normal business hours. No water or sewer service is required as the site would normally be unmanned. (m) No impact. No new parcels or substantial development would result from this project. The project would not divide any established community. (b.) Less than significant impact. The lattice tower extension would result in an additional 12' above the existing 68'-6- 3/4" PG&E transmission tower, or a proposed height of 80'-6-3/4". Standard setback requirements for wireless communications facilities would therefore be 80'-6-3/4" from each property line per Butte County Code 24-262(g)(2)b. In order to collocate on the existing PG&E tower, setback modification has been requested pursuant to BCC section 24- 262. This modification would result in setbacks from the PG&E tower to parcel boundaries approximately as follows: East 430', West 200', North 56' and South 20'. Lattice towers have a very low probability of failure, especially in areas where substantial ice does not form. If it should fall down, it would not fall into areas of high human activity. A building permit is required for the proposed extension and the Butte County Building Division would review the building plans for the lattice tower and extension for compliance with all applicable structural requirements of the International Building Code. The proposed project is located in an area zoned Agricultural Residential 1 -acre minimum (AR -1). Although the collocation of wireless communication facilities are permitted with a building permit in the AR zones, the modification of setbacks as proposed would require the issuance of a use permit. The project site has a General Plan land use designation of Very Low Density Residential (VLDR). The proposed wireless communications facility is a public utility because it is regulated by the California Public Utilities Commission. For the approval of the Use Permit, the applicant is required to present information, including plans or other information that is substantial enough to make an informed decision. The Planning Commission reviews the proposal and will grant a Use Permit if: "the proposed uses of property will not impair the integrity and character of the zone in which the land lies, and that the use would not be unreasonably incompatible with, or injurious to, surrounding properties or detrimental to the health and general welfare of the persons residing or working in the neighborhood or the general health, welfare, and safety of the residents of the county" (Butte County Code, Section 24-45.10). This Initial Study, and the review by the Planning Commission based on information from planning staff and the applicant, will ensure compliance with all land use plans and policies and ensure the proposed project would not impair the health, welfare, or safety of Butte County residents. ■ Butte County Department of Development Services ■ ■ Initial Study — Metro PCS, UPI 2-0001 ■ Page 16 of 29 ■ • 0 Project Name: Use Permit UP12-0001 for Metro PCS (G) No impact.

The use of the: generator will be short term in duration and will not create significant impacts. (b.) No Impact. The proposed project would not include the development of land uses that would generate substantial ground- bome vibration or noise or use construction activities that would have such effects. No structures are proposed that woulc require heavy footings where the use of heavy pile drivers would be required. (d) Less than significant impact. Construction activities on the site would temporarily generate high noise levels on anc. adjacent to the project site intermittently during project development activities. During construction, the highest noise: levels would result from operation of heavy earthmoving equipment, which can be expected to generate noise levels of, between 85 to 90 decibels (dBA) at a distance of 50 feet from the source. Noise levels will be reduced, however, by factor of six dBA with each doubling of distance from the noise source and by intervening topography. Construction noise activities related to the construction is temporary in nature and is not seen will not be significant, given the distance tc• adjacent land uses. The General Plan Noise Element establishes a conditionally acceptable community noise level of up to 70 dB CNEL for construction activities. Given the significant distance from the nearest off-site residential structures. construction noise is not expected to have a significant impact on nearby residence.

For MetroPCS I performed the study with one 1.25MHz CDMA -PCS carrier transmitting a maximum ERP (effective radiated power) of 389W, one 1.25MHz CDMA-EVDO carrier transmitting a maximum ERP (effective radiated power) of 389W and one SMHz LTE -AWS carrier transmitting a maximum ERP' (effective radiated power) of 1455W. Calculations were performed for MetroPCS at a radiation center of 78 feet for all three technologies. The ANSI standard ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 sets the maximum exposure level for persons in the vicinity of a continuously radiating source. The standard is intended to insure exposure levels are safe for all persons based upon current scientific knowledge by groups of experts in a number of biological and engineering fields. This study is a worst-case scenario using guidelines recommended by ANSI to calculate the energy density at a given point away from the radiating antennas. I make one assumption, which causes this study to be a worst-case scenario. The assumption is that the radios are all rad iating at maximum power at all times. The maximum power density for this site at various distances from the site Is shown in the table on the following page. The ANSI standard for the PCS band is 1.00 mW/cm2 for a uncontrolled environment and 5.00 mW/cm2 for an uncontrolled environment. At the base of the tower,the MetroPCS 0.43% of the ANSI standard for an uncontrolled environment and 0.09% of the ANSI standard for a controlled environment. I certify that the that the radio frequency levels meet Federal standards, and that the facility will not interfere with the City's or other public entities emergency broadcast systems?
