Emissions Analysis for:
Crown Castle Site: 876370 — Maybrook / Bond
Verizon Wireless Site: Chesterfield CT
Fox Hill Telecom, Inc ("Fox Hill") was directed to analyze the proposed upgrades for Verizon Wireless
to the Crown Castle facility located at 41 Beckwith Road, Montville, CT, for the purpose of
determining whether the emissions from the Proposed Verizon Wireless Antenna Installation, in addition
to all existing radio systems located on this property, are within specified federal limits.
All information used in this report was analyzed as a percentage of current Maximum Permissible
Exposure (% MPE) as listed in the FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01and ANSUIEEE Std C95.1. The
FCC regulates Maximum Permissible Exposure in units of microwatts per square centimeter (µW/cm2).
The number of µW/cmZ calculated at each sample point is called the power density. The exposure limit
for power density varies depending upon the frequencies being utilized. Wireless Carriers and Paging
Services use different frequency bands each with different exposure limits, therefore it is necessary to
report results and limits in terms of percent MPE rather than power density.
All results were compared to the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) radio frequency exposure
rules, 47 CFR 1.1307(b)(1) — (b)(3), to determine compliance with the Maximum Permissible Exposure
(MPE) limits for General Population/Uncontrolled environments as defined below.
General population/uncontrolled exposure limits apply to situations in which the general population may
be exposed or in which people 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 population would always be considered tinder this category when exposure is not
employment related, for example, in the case of a telecommunications tower that exposes people in a
nearby residential area.

General population exposure to radio frequencies is regulated and enforced in units of microwatts per
square centimeter (µW/cm2). The general population exposure limits for the 700 MHz band & the
850 MHz cellular band are approximately 497 µW/cm2 and 586 µW/cmZ respectively. The general
population exposure limit for the 1900 MHz (PCS), 2100 MHz (AWS) and 3700 MHz (C band)
frequency bands is 1000 µW/cm2. Because each carrier will be using different frequency bands, and each
frequency band has different exposure limits, it is necessary to report the percentage of MPE rather than
power density.
Occupational/controlled exposure limits apply to situations in which people are exposed as a consequence
of their employment and in which those people who are exposed have been made fully aware of the
potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure. Occupational1controlled exposure
limits also apply where exposure is of a transient nature as a result of incidental passage through a
location where exposure levels may be above general population/uncontrolled limits (see below), as long
as the exposed person has been made fully aware of the potential for exposure and can exercise control
over his or her exposure by leaving the area or by some other appropriate means.
Additional details can be found in FCC OFT 65.

CALCULATIONS
Calculations were performed for the proposed upgrades to the Crown Castle facility for Verizon Wireless
located at 41 Beckwith Road, Montville, CT, using the equipment information listed below. All
calculations were performed per the specifications tinder FCC OET 65 for far field modeling calculations
In OET-65, power density values in the Far Field of an antemta are calculated by considering the transmit
power in each band specified and multiplied by the antetma gain values per the antenna manufacturer
specifications.
Since the radiation pattern of an antenna has developed in the Far Field region, the power gain in specific
directions needs to be considered in exposure predictions to yield an Effective Radiated Power (ERP) in
each specific direction from the antenna. Also, since the vertical radiation pattern of the antenna is
considered, the exposure calculations would most likely be reduced at ground level, when compared to an
isotropic model, resulting in a more realistic estimate of the actual exposure levels.
A worst -case Far Field prediction is described in OET-65 where field strength may double due to 100%
reflection of the incoming radiation. Considering an EPA recommendation that a multiplier of 1.6 is a
more realistically representation of this effect is rewritten as follows:
33.4 • Pi, - GaBa /
'SFF — Rz \itW/�m2)
• SFr = Power Density (in µW/cm2)
• Pin is Watts
• R is meters to study point
• G is gain to study point as specified in manufacturer horizontal and vertical patterns
This model calculates the power density at a single point in space. In order to determine the spatial power
density for comparison to the FCC limits, the average of several points calculated within the human
profile (0 to 6 feet) must be conducted. Seven power density values, between 0 and 6 feet above the
specified study plane at each point, were calculated and a linear spatial average of these values was used
to create the spatially averaged result for that point on the plane.

Table 4: All Carrier jVPE Contributions shows all additional identified carriers on site and their emissions
contribution estimates, along with the newly calculated maximum Verizon Wireless far field emissions
contributions per this report. FCC OFT 65 specifies that for carriers utilizing directional antennas the
highest recorded sector value be used for composite site emissions values due to their greatly reduced
emissions contributions in the directions of the adjacent sectors. For this site, all three Verizon Wireless
sectors have the same configuration, yielding the same results for all three sectors. Table 5 below shows a
summary for each Verizon Wireless Sector as well as the composite estimated emissions value for the
site.

Summary
All calculations performed for this analysis yielded results that were within the allowable limits for
general population exposure to RF Emissions.
The anticipated maximum composite contributions from the Verizon Wireless facility as well as the site
composite emissions estimates value with regards to compliance with FCC's allowable limits for general
population exposure to RF Emissions are shown here:
Verizon Wireless Sector
Power Density Value
Sector A:
1.42 %
Sector B:
0.00 %
Sector C:
0.00 %
Verizon Wireless Maximum
Total(per sector):
1 42 %
Site Total:
2.96 %
Site Compliance Status:
COMPLIANT
The estimated composite emissions value for this site, assuming all carriers present, is 2.96 % of the
allowable FCC established general population limit sampled at the ground level. This is based upon the
far field calculations performed for all carriers identified in this report.
FCC guidelines state that if a site is found to be out of compliance (over allowable thresholds), that
carriers over a 5%contribution to the composite value will require measures to bring the site into
compliance. For this facility, the composite estimated values calculated were well within the allowable
100% threshold standard per the federal government.
