Administrative Analysis
Currently, the monopalm tower contains six (6) panel antennas and one (1) microwave
dish. The applicant is now proposing to remove and replace three (3) panel antennas
and install two (2) new panel antennas. In addition, two (2) equipment cabinets will be
removed and replaced with two (2) new equipment cabinets. This proposal will result in
a total of eight (8) panel antennas and one (1) microwave dish installed on the
monopalm tower.
The monopalm tower measures approximately 52 feet tall (to top of "palm fronds "). No
change in height for the tower is proposed. The monopalm tower has nine (9) existing
mounting brackets. However, only three (3) are being utilized at this time. Under this
proposal, eight (8) mounting brackets will be installed with antennas. The new panel
antennas will be installed at approximately 48 feet above ground level. According to the
proposed antenna plan (Sheet A -3), the panel antennas will range in height between 42 to
55 inches tall. One (1) panel antenna will measure 72 inches in height.
The project also proposes to replace two (2) equipment cabinets on an existing
concrete pad located within the Sprint Nextel lease area, which is enclosed by an
existing block wall and chain -link fence.
The proposed modification is part of a launch by Sprint Nextel to upgrade Sprints 4G
network nationwide. The proposed location of the wireless telecommunication facility will
not impact any of the existing uses. The proposed facility is unmanned and will operate
24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The federal and state governments set strict regulations to safeguard health and safety
issues, and to insure that people living and residing in the area of a telecommunications
facility are not affected. To verify that this proposed facility complies with the Federal
Communications Commission limits for human exposure to radiofrequency (RF)
electromagnetic fields, the Planning Division has completed the Evaluation of Categorical

Re: 7403 Hellman Avenue
Dear Ms. Casillas:
On March 27, 2012, the City of Rosemead sent an incomplete letter to Modus Inc.,
regarding Modification 11 -05. Please find the items listed in the incomplete letter addressed
by number below:
1. Disclosure of Removal Costs: The removal cost is estimated at $21,100.00
2. Justification Report:
a. Written description: The main geographic area which will be served by the
upgraded wireless facility is located between Jackson Street to the east, North
Ynez Street to the west, the 10 freeway and Glendon Way to the north, and
Garvey Avenue to the south. However, the site's coverage also extensively
serves the southward area of the site, as one may see from the attached
coverage maps. Please see the attached propagation maps.
b. Please see the attached propagation maps.
c. Written description of good faith efforts to study alternative locations within the
search ring: This is an existing wireless facility site, no other locations were
considered for this upgrade as this is not a new site build.
d, The proposed project design is the least intrusive means of reducing the
purported coverage gap as this facility is an existing Sprint location that is
stealthed as a monopalm. No new location is being proposed and a strategy
is already in existence to reduce visual impact.

replaced at the site, with two (3) antennas installed at Sector A, two (2) antennas to be installed at
Sector B, and three (3) antennas to be installed at Sector C. In each sector, there is proposed to be one
antenna transmitting in the 800 MHz frequency range, one antenna transmitting in the 1900 MHz
frequency range, and one antenna transmitting in the 1600 MHz frequency range, except Sector B will
have one antenna transmitting in both the 800 and 1900 MHz frequency ranges, and one antenna
transmitting in the 1600 MHz frequency range. The Sector A antennas will be oriented 50 from true
north. The Sector B antennas will be oriented 180 from true north. The Sector C antennas will be
oriented 260 from true north. The bottoms of the antennas will be 42 feet above ground level.
Based on drawings and aerial photography review a Clearwire dish antenna is located on the monopole.
5.0 POWER RATING FOR ALL EXISTING AND PROPOSED BACKUP EQUIPMENT SUBJECT TO
THE APPLICATION
The operating power for modeling purposes was assumed to be 20 Watts per transmitter for the 800
MHz antenna and there will be one (1) transmitter operating at this frequency. The operating power for
the purpose of modeling was assumed to be 20 Watts per transmitter and one (1) transmitter operating
in the 1600 MHz frequency range. Additionally, for modeling purposes it was assumed to be 20 Watts
per transmitter and four (4) transmitters operating at the 1900 MHz.

6.0 TOTAL NUMBER OF WATTS PER INSTALLATION AND THE TOTAL NUMBER OF WATTS
FOR ALL INSTALLATIONS ON THE BUILDING
The effective radiated power (ERP) for the 800 MHz transmitter combined on site is 767 Watts. The
ERP for the 1600 MHz transmitters combined on site is 1,200 Watts. The ERP for the 1900 MHz
transmitters combined on site is 4,588 Watts.
7.0 PREFERRED METHOD OF ATTACHMENT OF PROPOSED ANTENNA WITH PLOT OR ROOF
PLAN INCLUDING: DIRECTIONALITY OF ANTENNAS, HEIGHT OF ANTENNAS ABOVE
NEAREST WALKING SURFACE, DISCUSS NEARBY INHABITED BUILDINGS
Based on the information provided to EBI, the information indicates that the proposed antennas are to
be rack - mounted to the monotree, operating in the directions, frequencies, and heights mentioned in
section 4.0 above. The area north of the monotree is an on -ramp to a highway; the area south is a
parking lot; a commercial building is approxiamtgely 30 feet west of the monotree; and a residential
development is approximately 35 feet east of the monotree.
8.0 ESTIMATED AMBIENT RADIO FREQUENCY FIELDS FOR THE PROPOSED SITE
Based on worst -case predictive modeling, there are no predicted areas on any accessible ground -level
walking /working surface related to the proposed Sprint antennas that exceed the FCC's occupational or
general public exposure limits at this site. At the nearest walking /working surfaces to the proposed
Sprint antennas, the maximum power density is 4.60 percent of the FCC's general public limit (0.92
percent of the FCC's occupational limit). Based on worst -case predictive modeling, there are no areas
at ground level related to the proposed Sprint antennas that exceed the FCC's occupational or general
public exposure limits at this site. At ground level, the maximum power density generated by the Sprint
antennas is 4.60 percent of the FCC's general public limit (0.92 percent of the FCC's occupational limit).
The inputs used in the modeling are summarized in the RoofView® export file presented in Appendix B.
9.0 SIGNAGE AT THE FACILITY IDENTIFYING ALL WTS EQUIPMENT AND SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR PEOPLE NEARING THE EQUIPMENT AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY THE
APPLICABLE FCC ADOPTED.STANDARDS (DISCUSS SIGNAGE FOR THOSE WHO SPEAK
LANGUAGES OTHER THAN ENGLISH)
Signs are the primary means for control of access to areas where RF exposure levels may potentially
exceed the MPE. It is recommended that additional signage be installed for the new antennas making
people aware of the antennas locations. Also workers elevated above the roof or ground level should be
made aware of the antennas locations. There are no fields in front of the proposed antennas and
therefore barriers are not recommended.
Additionally, there are areas where workers elevated above the ground may be exposed to power
densities greater than the general population and occupational limits. Workers and the general public
should be informed about the presence and locations of antennas and their associated fields.
Additionally, access to this site is accomplished via a parking lot. Access to the facility is not monitored
and as such, the general public is able to access the base of the monotree, but not the antennas.

11.0 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION (FCC) REQUIREMENTS
The FCC has established Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for human exposure to
Radiofrequency Electromagnetic (RF -EME) energy fields, based on exposure limits recommended by the
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) and, over a wide range of
frequencies, the exposure limits developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc.
, (IEEE) and adopted by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to replace the 1982 ANSI
guidelines. Limits for localized absorption are based on recommendations of both ANSI /IEEE and
NCRP.
The FCC guidelines incorporate two separate tiers of exposure limits that are based upon
occupational /controlled exposure limits (for workers) and general publicluncontrolled exposure limits
for members of the general public.
Occupational /controlled exposure limits apply to situations in which persons are exposed as a
consequence of their employment and in which those persons who are exposed have been made fully
aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. Occupational/
controlled exposure limits also apply where exposure is of a transient nature as a result of incidental
passage through a location where exposure levels may be above general public /uncontrolled limits (see
below), as long as the exposed person has been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can
exercise control over his or her exposure by leaving the area or by some other appropriate means.
General public /uncontrolled exposure limits apply to situations in which the general public may be
exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a consequence of their employment may not be made
fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise control over their exposure. Therefore,
members of the general public would always be considered under this category when exposure is not
employment - related, for example, in the case of a telecommunications tower that exposes persons in a
nearby residential area.
Table I and Figure I (below), which are included within the FCC's OET Bulletin 65, summarize the MPE
limits for RF emissions. These limits are designed to provide a substantial margin of safety. They vary
by frequency to take into account the different types of equipment that may be in operation at a
particular facility and are "time- averaged" limits to reflect different durations resulting from controlled
and uncontrolled exposures.
The FCC's MPEs are measured in terms of power (mW) over a unit surface area (cm Known as the
power density, the FCC has established an occupational MPE of 5 milliwatts per square centimeter
(mW /cm and an uncontrolled MPE of I mW /cm2 for equipment operating in the 1600 MHz and 1900
MHz frequency ranges. For the Sprint equipment operating at 800 MHz, the FCC's occupational MPE is
2.66 mW /cm and an uncontrolled MPE of 0.53 mW /cm These limits are considered protective of
these populations.

RF -EME Compliance Report Site No. LA03XC205
EBI Project No. 621 12148 7403 Hellman Avenue, Rosemead, California
Personal Communication (PCS) facilities used by Sprint in this area operate within a frequency range of
800 -1900 MHz. Facilities typically consist of. 1) electronic transceivers (the radios or cabinets)
connected to wired telephone lines; and 2) antennas that send the wireless signals created by the
transceivers to be received by individual subscriber units (PCS telephones). Transceivers are typically
connected to antennas by coaxial cables.
Because of the short wavelength of PCS services, the antennas require line -of -site paths for good
propagation, and are typically installed above ground level. Antennas are constructed to concentrate
energy towards the horizon, with as little energy as possible scattered towards the ground or the sky.
This design, combined with the low power of PCS facilities, generally results in no possibility, for
exposure to approach Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) levels, with the exception of areas directly
in front of the antennas.
Statement of Compliance
A site is considered out of compliance with FCC regulations if there are areas that exceed the FCC
exposure limits and there are no RF hazard mitigation measures in place. Any carrier which has an
installation that contributes more than 5% of the applicable MPE must participate in mitigating these RF
hazards.
12.0 LIMITATIONS
This report was prepared for the use of Sprint Nextel. It was performed in accordance with generally
accepted practices of other consultants undertaking similar studies at the same time and in the same
locale under like circumstances. The conclusions provided by EBI are based solely on the information
provided by the client. The observations in this report are valid on the date of the investigation. Any
additional information that becomes available concerning the site should be provided to EBI so that our .
conclusions may be revised and modified, if necessary. This report has been prepared in accordance
with Standard Conditions for Engagement and authorized proposal, both of which are integral parts of

13.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
EBI has prepared this Radiofrequency Emissions Compliance Report for the proposed Sprint
telecommunications equipment at the site located at 7403 Hellman Avenue in Rosemead, California.
EBI has conducted theoretical modeling to estimate the worst -case power density from Sprint antennas
to document potential MPE levels at this location and ensure that site control measures are adequate to
meet FCC and OSHA requirements. As presented in the preceding sections, based on worst -case
predictive modeling, there are no modeled exposures on any accessible ground -level walking /working
surface related to proposed equipment in the area that exceed the FCC's occupational and general
public exposure limits at this site. As such, the proposed Sprint project is in compliance with FCC rules
and regulations.
Signage is recommended at the site as presented in Section 9.0. Posting of the signage brings the site
into compliance with FCC rules and regulations.

EXHIBIT "H"
Optional Checklist for Local Government
To Determine Whether a Facility is Categorically Excluded
Purpose: The FCC has determined that many wireless facilities are unlikely to cause human
exposures in excess of RF exposure guidelines. Operators of those facilities are exempt from,
routinely having to determine their compliance. These facilities are termed "categorically
excluded." Section 1.1307(b)(1) of the Commission's rules defines those categorically excluded .
facilities. This checklist will assist state and local government agencies in identifying those
wireless facilities that are categorically excluded, and thus are highly unlikely to cause exposure
in excess of the FCC's guidelines. Provision of the information identified on this checklist may
also assist FCC staff in evaluating any inquiry regarding a facility's compliance with the RF
exposure guidelines.
