EME_Report_HWY280TantauNCAP119572.09.18.2020signedCompliance Statement Based on information provided by Verizon Wireless, field measurements and predictive modeling, the HWY 280 Tantau NCA-P-119572 installation by Verizon Wireless is compliant with Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure Limits of 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.1307(b)(3) and 1.1310. On-site measurements collected by Verizon Wireless contractors were found to be below 100% of the FCC General Population Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits which is supportive of Waterford’s worst-case predictive analysis. Therefore, the operations at this location will not expose members of the General Public to hazardous levels of RF energy at ground level or in adjacent buildings. Certification I, David H. Kiser, am the reviewer and approver of this report and am fully aware of and familiar with the Rules and Regulations of both the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) with regard to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation, specifically in accordance with FCC’s OET Bulletin 65. I have reviewed this Radio Frequency Exposure Assessment report and believe it to be both true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. General Summary The compliance framework is derived from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations for preventing human exposure in excess of the applicable Maximum Permissible Exposure (“MPE”) limits. At any location at this site, the power density resulting from each transmitter may be expressed as a percentage of the frequency-specific limits and added to determine if 100% of the exposure limit has been exceeded. The FCC Rules define two tiers of permissible exposure differentiated by the situation in which the exposure takes place and/or the status of the individuals who are subject to exposure. General Population / Uncontrolled exposure limits apply to those situations in which persons may not be aware of the presence of electromagnetic energy, where exposure is not employment-related, or where persons cannot exercise control over their exposure. Occupational / Controlled exposure limits apply to situations in which persons are exposed as a consequence of their employment, have been made fully aware of the potential for exposure, and can exercise control over their exposure. Based on the criteria for these classifications, the FCC General Population limit is considered to be a level that is safe for continuous exposure time. The FCC General Population limit is 5 times more restrictive than the Occupational limits.

Based on the computational guidelines set forth in FCC OET Bulletin 65, Waterford Consultants, LLC has developed software to predict the overall Maximum Permissible Exposure possible at any location given the spatial orientation and operating parameters of multiple RF sources. The power density in the Far Field of an RF source is specified by OET-65 Equation 5 as follows: != !"#$ %⋅'⋅#! (mW/cm() where EIRP is the Effective Radiated Power relative to an isotropic antenna and R is the distance between the antenna and point of study. Additionally, consideration is given to the manufacturers’ horizontal and vertical antenna patterns as well as radiation reflection. At any location, the predicted power density in the Far Field is the spatial average of points within a 0 to 6-foot vertical profile that a person would occupy. Near field power density is based on OET-65 Equation 20 stated as !=*180 .)* /⋅100 ⋅1+, 2 ⋅3 ⋅ℎ (mW/cm() where Pin is the power input to the antenna, qBW is the horizontal pattern beamwidth and h is the aperture length. These theoretical results represent worst-case predictions as all RF emitters are assumed to be operating at 100% duty cycle. For any area in excess of 100% General Population MPE, access controls with appropriate RF alerting signage must be put in place and maintained to restrict access to authorized personnel. Signage must be posted to be visible upon approach from any direction to provide notification of potential conditions within these areas. Subject to other site security requirements, occupational personnel should be trained in RF safety and equipped with personal protective equipment (e.g. RF personal monitor) designed for safe work in the vicinity of RF emitters. Controls such as physical barriers to entry imposed by locked doors, hatches and ladders or other access control mechanisms may be supplemented by alarms that alert the individual and notify site management of a breach in access control. Waterford Consultants, LLC recommends that any work activity in these designated areas or in front of any transmitting antennas be coordinated with all wireless tenants.

Antenna operating parameters are listed in Appendix A. Measurement results from the site survey are listed in Appendix B. Other appurtenances such as GPS antennas, RRUs and hybrid cable below the antennas are not sources of RF emissions. Panel antennas have been installed at this site by other wireless operators. While the ERP for equipment controlled by another operator is not known, the contribution to existing RF levels at this site by any existing operator is represented in the survey results. Operating parameters for these antennas considered in this analysis are also listed in Appendix A. Figure 1: Antenna Locations Power density decreases significantly with distance from any antenna. The panel-type antennas to be employed at this site are highly directional by design and the orientation in azimuth and mounting elevation, as documented, serves to reduce the potential to exceed MPE limits at any location other than directly in front HWY 280 Tantau NCA-P-119572 Modification 09.18.2020 Page 4 7430 New Technology Way, Suite 150 Frederick, Maryland 21703 (703) 596-1022 Phone www.waterfordconsultants.com of the antennas. As shown in Appendix B, measurements collected at accessible areas were found to be below the FCC General Population limits. Verizon Wireless’ contractors used a broadband probe that provides cumulative exposure readings that consider all RF Sources. To account for accessible areas near the antennas, RF alerting signs and indicative markers (paint) have been posted as depicted in Figure 2.1 and 2.2.
