EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Dtech Communications, LLC ("Dtech") has been retained by Sprint Nextel to determine
whether their communication facility complies with the Federal Communications
Commission ("FCC") Radio Frequency ("RF") Safety Guidelines. This report contains an
on-site, measurement analysis of the Electromagnetic Fields ("EMF") exposure resulting
from the cell site. The table below summarizes the result at a glance.

BACKGROUND
Dtech uses the FCC's guidelines described in detail in Office of Engineering & Technology,
Bulletin No. 65 ("OET-65") "Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human
Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Radiation". Table 2 below summarizes the
current Maximum Permissible Exposure ("MPE") safety limits classified into two groups:
General population and Occupational.

Generalpopulation/uncontfoiled ]imits apply in situations in which the general public
may be exposed or in which persons who are exposed as a consequence of their
employment, and may not be fully aware of the potential for exposure or cannot exercise
control over their exposure. Therefore, members of the general public always fall under
this category when exposure is not employment-related.
Occupational/controlled limits apply in situations in which persons are exposed as a
consequence of their employment, and those persons have been made fully aware of the
potential for exposure and can exercise control over their exposure.
Occupational/controlled 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, 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.
It is important to understand that the FCC guidelines specify exposure limits not emission
limits. For a transmitting facility to be out of compliance with the FCC's RF safety
guidelines an area or areas where levels exceed the MPE limits must, first of all, be in some
way accessible to the public or to workers. When accessibility to an area where excessive levels
is appropriately restricted, the facility or operation can certify that it complies with the FCC
requirements.

SITE DESCRIPTION
The wireless telecommunication facility is located at 2160 Las Palmas Drive, Carlsbad, CA
92009. Sprint Nextel's site consists of an equipment shelter located on the ground and 6
antennas total. The antennas are facade-mounted to the building walls and connected to the
equipment via coaxial cables.

FIELD MEASUREMENT
Field measurements were conducted at the subject site on 4/10/2008 1:15 PM by Jeff Bales,
Dtech Field Engineer. The Narda meter, model NBM-550 with EA 5091 Probe was used to
conduct the measurements. This device is designed to measure frequencies between 300kHz
and 50Ghz, well within the SMR, Cellular, and PCS frequency ranges (most major wireless
operators). Therefore, the result measured is a cumulative RF energy resulting from all
transmitters within the frequency ranges of the probe. The probe itself is frequency shaped
and can automatically weigh each field contributions based on frequency. The output is
given in percentages of the FCC's MPE Limits. A result higher than 100% is out of
compliance.
Spatial averaging measurement technique was used. An area between 2 and 6 feet,
approximately the size of an average human, is scanned in single passes from top to bottom
in multiple planes. When possible, measurements were made at very close proximity to the
antennae and inside the main beam where most of the energy is emitted. The maximum
levels (max-hold) were recorded.

On the main roof, the highest exposure level was measured at 0.83% of the applicable FCC's
Occupational MPE Limits near Sprint Nextel's antennas. On the ground, the highest was
measured at 1.80% of the General Population MPE Limits.

RECOMMENDATION(S)
On-site measurements at Sprint Nextel's site resulted in exposure levels below the applicable
FCC's MPE Limits. There are appropriate RF advisory signs posted at the roof access
point(s) and/or near the antennas to establish awareness for potential RF exposure. Further
actions are not required.
CONCLUSION
Based on the above results, analysis and recommendation(s), it is the undersigned's
professional opinion that Sprint Nextel's site complies with the FCC's RF Safety Guidelines.
The worse-case exposure levels in publicly accessible areas are measured to be well below
the FCC's General Population MPE Limits.

SUBJECT: MCUP 07-09 - SPRINT LAS PALMAS
On August 16, 2007, MCUP 07-09 was approved. As part of the annual review
process, it appears that the permit is not in compliance with conditions 9 and 11 as
follows:
9. Developer/Operator shall comply with the Federal Communication Commission's
guidelines on limits for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic
fields. Within six (6) months from the date of this approval letter, and with any
time extension or amendment request, the Developer/Operator shall submit to
the Planning Director either (1) verification that the project is categorically
excluded from having to determine compliance with the RF exposure guidelines
per 47 CFR §1.1307(b)(1); or (2) a project implementation report which provides
cumulative field measurements of RF emissions of all antennas installed at the
subject site. The report shall quantify the RF emissions and compare the results
with the exposure limits established by the FCC guidelines. Said report shall be
subject to review and approval by the Planning Director for consistency with the
Project's preliminary report on RF exposure submitted with the initial project
application and for consistency with the FCC guidelines. If on review, the City
finds that the Project does not meet the FCC guidelines, the City may revoke or
modify this conditional use permit.
11. Developer shall submit to the City a Notice of Restriction executed by the owner
of the real property to be developed. Said notice is to be filed in the office of the
County Recorder, subject to the satisfaction of the Planning Director, notifying all
interested parties and successors in interest that the City of Carlsbad has issued
a(n) Minor Conditional Use Permit on the property. Said Notice of Restriction
shall note the property description, location of the file containing complete project
details and all conditions of approval as well as any conditions or restrictions
specified for inclusion in the Notice of Restriction. The Planning Director has the
authority to execute and record an amendment to the notice which modifies or

Ms. Fenton,
The existing wireless antennas located at 2160 Las Palmas Drive are not currently painted to
match the building color (It appears that they were painted to match a previous building color).
In order to comply with the design standards of City Council Policy 64 for Wireless
Communications Facilities, the existing antennas must be painted to match the existing building
color(s).
Unfortunately, this issue was not addressed in the "complete application" letter for MCUP 07-09.
