A Biological Assessment is required for construction projects (or other undertakings having similar physical impacts) that are major Federal actions significantly affecting the quality of the human environment as defined in the National Enviromnental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2) (c)). For projects other than major construction activities, the Service suggests that a biological evaluation similar to a Biological Assessment be prepared to determine whether the project may affect listed or proposed species and/or designated or proposed critical habitat. Recommended contents of a Biological Assessment are described at 50 CFR 402.12. If a Federal agency determines, based on the Biological Assessment or biological evaluation, that listed species and/or designated critical habitat may be affected by the proposed project, the agency is required to consult with the Service pursuant to 50 CFR 402. In addition, the Service recommends that candidate species, proposed species and proposed critical habitat be addressed within the consultation. More information on the regulations and procedures for section 7 consultation, including the role of permit or license applicants, can be found in the "Endangered Species Consultation Handbook" at: http://www.fws.gov/endangered/esa-library/pdf/TOC-GLOS.PDF Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/eagle_guidance.httnl). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and bats.

The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). Any activity proposed on National Wildlife Refuge lands must undergo a'Compatibility Determination' conducted by the Refuge. Please contact the individual Refuges to discuss any questions or concerns. New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested through the ECOS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list. The purpose of the Act is to provide a means whereby threatened and endangered species and the ecosystems upon which they depend may be conserved. Under sections 7(a)(1) and 7(a)(2) of the Act and its implementing regulations (50 CFR 402 et seq.), Federal agencies are required to SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Information, Planning, and Conservation (IPaC) Results U.S. Fish & Wildlife service National Wetlands Inventory Natural Resource Conservation Service Web Soil Survey North American Flyway Map T -Squared Site Services, LLC RES6601 Informal Biological Report . 1 15149 - Amherst These guidelines suggest, if collocating on an existing tower or non -tower structure is not possible, that proposed towers be constructed 999' or less in overall height, without the use of guy wires, and in a facility with a minimum possible footprint. Additionally, the USFWS suggests towers be unlit or lit with only white or red strobe lights. All necessary guy wires should have daytime visual markers on the wires. Lastly, towers should be designed to encourage future collocations. While the proposed tower will have an overall height of 130' to 150', according to the current available studies, such as the Michigan State Police Tower Study, towers above 500' appear to have more of an effect on migratory birds than towers that are shorter than 500'. Additionally, the proposed tower is an improvement over the existing tower. The proposed tower will be self- supporting, a configuration much safer for birds landing in fog or reduced visibility. Based on the construction drawings provided by T -Squared Site Services, LLC, we have concluded that steps have been taken to adhere to the USFWS tower siting guidelines including constructing with a minimum facility footprint, an overall height below 199', no guy wires, and to accommodate future collocations. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the information presented in this report, habitats necessary to support listed and potentially listed Threatened & Endangered species and Critical Habitats do not exist at the subject property or in the vicinity. Therefore, the proposed project is not likely to impact Threatened & Endangered species as contained in 50 CFR 17.11, 17.22, 222.23(a), 227.4, critical habitats as contained in 50 CFR 17.95, 17.96, and part 226, or migratory birds protected under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

T -Squared Site Services, LLC Informal Biological Report 15149 - Amherst wetland. Additionally, no wetland indicators such as wretland vegetation or standing water were noted at the time of the field inspection. According to the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Web Soil Survey, underlying soils in the immediate vicinity of the proposed project consist of Federick — Poplimento - Rock outcrop complex, 15 to 45 percent slopes. The soil is not listed as a hydric soil with the NRCS. The nearest body of water is Abrams Creek, which flows approximately 500' southwest and east of the subject property. Based on all of these factors there are no wetland areas at or near the subject property. THREATENED & ENDANGERED SPECIES: RESCOM utilized IPaC to determine if any listed or potentially listed Threatened & Endangered species exist within or within 30' of the proposed project area. RESCOM then reviewed various field guides and reference books to determine what habitats are necessary to support the listed or potentially listed species of the area. Necessary habitats were compared to the habitat found at and near the subject property. Based on this comparison, none of the listed or potentially listed Threatened & Endangered species identified by the USFWS are likely to be found at the subject property, or within a 30' buffer zone surrounding all proposed lease areas. A complete list of these species, their required habitat, and the potential project impact is as follows.

Hibernation Habitat septentrionalis in caves, mines, and tunnels from late fall through early spring. *LE: Listed Endangered; LT: Listed Threatened; PE: Proposed Endangered; PT: Proposed Threatened MIGRATORY BIRDS: Based on the results of a field reconnaissance and review of available maps maintained by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) and USFWS, the proposed project area is not located in a waterway, wildlife refuge, national wilderness area, grassland, forest area, ridge -line, coastline or area commonly known to have high incidences of fog or low clouds, where migratory birds may be found. The site is within or near to a primary flyway. While the probability that migratory birds will be found within the project area is minimal, the presence of migratory birds cannot be ruled out. The IPaC results and field guides suggests multiple migratory bird species may be located within the county of the project area year-round or seasonally. The USFWS has established "Service Guidance on the Siting, Construction, Operation and Decommissioning of Communication Towers" to reduce potential impact to migratory birds.

Maps T -Squared Site Services, LLC FCC NEPA Summary Report nneuEocT i 11;1A9 NEPA SUMMARY REVIEW Delaware Nation Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma Shawnee Tribe RESCOM received a Catawba Indian Nation, Cherokee Nation, Crow Creek Sioux Tribal Council, Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma and Shawnee Tribe indicating no concern with the proposed project. RESCOM referred tribes that had not responded to the FCC on October 4, 2017. The FCC responded on October 5, 2017 indicating if no further concerns were raised by referred tribes, then 20 days from October 5, 2017 RESCOM could assume concurrence of no effect. All tribal groups have either responded, provided an exclusion via TCNS, or been closed by the FCC. Therefore, as of November 2, 2017, obligations with respect to THPO consultation are deemed complete (See Attachment C). All Tribes do request immediate notification should human remains or objects under NAGPRA become uncovered during construction. WILDERNESS AREAS & WILDLIFE PRESERVES RESCOM reviewed maps published by the National Forest Service, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and Wilderness.net, and found no Wildlife Preserves, Wilderness Areas, National Grasslands, National Forests, or National Scenic Trails are located at or near the subject property. Additionally, no Wildlife Preserves, Wilderness Areas, National Grasslands, National Forests, or National Scenic Trails were noted during the site visit (See Attachment D). HREATENED & ENDANGERED SPECIES & CRITICAL HABITATS An informal biological assessment was conducted at the subject property to determine if habitats necessary to support listed species or critical habitats exist at the subject property and in the immediate vicinity. The informal biological assessment is based on visual observations of on-site conditions and general habitats as compared to data acquired from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) (Reference Appendix A). Based on information obtained from the USFWS, habitats necessary to support federally listed threatened and endangered species do not occur at or in the vicinity of the subject property. Therefore, the proposed project will not affect any listed threatened or endangered species. In addition, there are no designated critical habitats at or in the vicinity of the subject property. DESIGNATED FLOODPLAINS RESCOM reviewed flood insurance map number FM51069CO204D as published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency with an effective date of September 2, 2009. The project area is not within the boundary of a designated floodplain. The existing access road for the proposed project does cross a floodplain boundary; however, no modifications will occur to the access road (Reference Appendix D). CHANGES TO SURFACE FEATURES RESCOM reviewed a digitized National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) map compiled with data maintained by the USFWS. Based on a review of the NWI map, the proposed project will not fall within a designated wetland (Reference Appendix D). Furthermore, the scope of project does not call for wetland fill, water diversion, or deforestation. Therefore, the proposed project will not cause a significant change in surface features. R5COA T -Squared Site Services, LLC FCC NEPA Summary Report AMHERST i 15149 NEPA SUMMARY REVIEW sites were previously recorded in the project area although one was noted within a mile of the project area. An archaeological survey by Andrew Smith, MA. determined no archaeological materials within the project area and archaeological clearance was recommended. RESCOM consulted with the Virginia State Historic Preservation Office to conduct a Section 106 Review for the proposed project. Based on the results of the historical resources field investigation and archival search and well as the archaeological survey, it is RESCOM's opinion that there will be no effect to historic properties in the Direct or Visual APE of the proposed project. A request for Section 106 Review was received by the Virginia SHPO via E106 on July 10, 2017, requesting concurrence of the "no adverse effect to historic properties" determination. The Virginia SHPO responded on August 4, 2017 indicating concurrence with the determination of "no adverse effect to historic properties" (Reference Appendix B). RESCOM identified Bill M. Ewing, Frederick County Board, Gainesboro Magisterial District, as Local Government contacts with jurisdiction over the proposed project location. Additionally, RESCOM identified Ms. Winchester -Frederick County Historical Society, as an additional consulting party with interest in the project location. RESCOM sent a letter to these groups on July 10, 2017, outlining the proposed project and inviting them to comment on the potential for the proposed project to effect historic resources listed in or eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. To date, RESCOM has not received a response from these groups (Reference Appendix B). RESCOM contacted the Winchester Star and posted a "Public Participation" ad in the paper on July 13, 2017. The proposed project was described in detail and "questions, comments, and correspondence" were solicited from the public regarding potential effect to historic properties. To date, RESCOM has not received any public comments regarding the proposed project and potential affects to historic properties (Reference Appendix B). Per the NPA, the applicant must allow a period of 30 days for the public and all consulting parties to provide comment on the proposed project. Therefore, as of August 13, 2017, the public participation period ended and no further consultation is required. TRIBAL CONSULTATION: RESCOM utilized the Tower Construction Notification System (TCNS) maintained by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to identify any tribal entities with interest in the area of the proposed project. The FCC responded via e-mail on May 26, 2017, indicating eight tribal groups were forwarded information regarding the location of the proposed project. The FCC assigned this project with TCNS ID: 156703. RESCOM received either a 'no interest' or 'no comment' response or a statement of exclusions in pre - construction review from the following triba! groups: Bad River Band of Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians Tuscarora Nation An invitation to comment letter was sent via regular mail on August 25, 2017 to serve as a second notice to the following list of Native American Tribes. These groups were either identified as having interest in the location of the proposed project and had not yet responded or requested additional information. • Catawba Indian Nation • Cherokee Nation • Crow Creek Sioux Tribal Council RCS T -Squared Site Services, LLC FCC NEPA Summary Report ARA LJC�CT ! !!;!An .....

NEPA SUMMARY REVIEW Site Name: -AMHERST Site Number: Site Location: 219 Round Hill Road Dr Winchester Frederick County, VA 22602 Project Type: Proposed new 138' monopole style tower in a fenced compound. RESCOM Environmental Corporation completed a NEPA Summary for the above referenced project to determine potential affects to Special Interest Items 1-9 listed in 47 CFR Subpart 1, Chapter 1, Section 1.1307(a). This NEPA Impact Assessment was performed in consideration of 47 CFR Subpart 1, Chapter 1, Sections 1.1301-1.1319 and the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement for the Collocation of Wireless Antennas (NPAC). PROJECT OVERVIEW: RESCOM Environmental completed a NEPA Summary Report for T -Squared Site Services, LLC. T - Squared Site Services, LLC, proposes a new 138' monopole style telecommunications tower within a 60' x 60' fenced compound. Power and telco will be routed to the site along an existing access road through disturbed areas. The proposed project involves ground disturbing activities and was covered by an archaeological survey. REGULATORY SUMMARY: Based on CFR 36, Part 800, Subpart B of the National Historic Preservation Act and the FCC's NPA, new construction projects are required to be submitted for Section 106 Review to State Historic Preservation Offices and interested Tribal Groups. Additionally, based on 47 CFR Subpart 1, Chapter 1, Section 1.1306 (Note 1), construction of new telecommunications facilities requires a review of impacts to the following Special Interest Items: wilderness areas, wildlife preserves, threatened and endangered species, designated floodplains, and changes to surface features. AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS: Based on the height of the tower and procedures outlined by the NPA, the Area of Potential Effects (APE) for indirect visual effects is a 0.5 -mile radius from the tower center. The Visual APE is largely buffered by mature tree growth urban development in all directions. The APE for direct effects is limited to the subject tower compound and access road.

The purpose of this email is to inform you that an authorized user of the TCNS has replied to a proposed tower construction notification that you had submitted through the TCNS. The following message has been sent to you from THPO Kim Jumper of the Shawnee Tribe in reference to Notification ID #156703: The Shawnee Tribe has recently implemented a new website for tracking cell towers. This site was created to streamline the Tribe's consultation system and make it easier to receive information as well as generate responses in a more efficient manner. There will be a 30 day transition period following the full implementation of this system, where paper and email projects will still be accepted. However, vendors using these methods will need to transition to the website format within the 30 day period. After the 30 day transition period has expired paper and email projects outside of the website will no longer be accepted. All FCC TCNS cell tower numbers will be housed on this site. The requested information for each tower type will need to be uploaded to this website in order to receive a consultation response from the Tribe. You can get to the Shawnee Tribe Cell Tower Consultation System by going to http://shawnee.culturalcompliance.com/ . In the left side menu, you can view our Policies and Procedures, a list of Geographical Areas of Interest, FAQ, Section 106 Help, as well as an Instructions Manual on how to use the website. To sign up for an account you will need to select the Sign Up option from the left side menu, complete your information, and click Save.

Box: 5516 Fort Wayne, IN 46895 Dear Applicant: This letter addresses the proposed communications facilities listed below that you have referred to the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) for purposes of contacting federally recognized Indian Tribes, including Alaska Native Villages (collectively Indian Tribes), and Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHOs), as specified by Section IV.G of the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement (NPA). Consistent with the procedures outlined in the Commission's recent Declaratory Ruling (1), we have contacted the Indian Tribes or NHOs identified in the attached Table for the projects listed in the attached Table. You referred these projects to us between 09/28/2017 and 10/05/2017. Our contact with these Tribal Nations or NHOs was sent on 10/05/2017. Thus, as described in the Declaratory Ruling (2), if you or Commission staff do not receive a statement of interest regarding a particular project from any Tribe or NHO within 20 calendar days of 10/05/2017, your obligations under Section IV of the NPA with respect to these Tribal Nations or NHOs are complete(3). If aTribal Nation or NHO responds that it is interested in participating within the 20 calendar day period, the Applicant must involve it in the review as set forth in the NPA, and may not begin construction until the process set forth in the NPA is completed. You are reminded that Section IX of the NPA imposes independent obligations on an Applicant when a previously unidentified site that may be a historic property, including an archeological property, is discovered during construction or after the completion of review(4). In such instances, the Applicant must cease construction and promptly notify, among others, any potentially affected Tribal Nation or NHO. A Tribal Nation's or NHO's failure to express interest in participating in pre -construction review of an undertaking does not necessarily mean it is not interested in archeological properties or human remains that may inadvertently be discovered during construction. Hence, an Applicant is still required to notify any potentially affected Tribal Nation or NHO of any such finds pursuant to Section IX or other applicable law. Sincerely, Jill Springer Acting Federal Preservation Officer Federal Communications Commission jill.springer@fcc.gov 1) See Clarification of Procedures for Participation of Federally Recognized Indian Tribes and Native Hawaiian Organizations Under the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement, Declaratory Ruling, FCC 05-176 (released October 6, 2005) (Declaratory Ruling). 2) Id S 8-10. 3) We note that, under the Declaratory Ruling, an expression of interest by an Indian Tribe or NHO addressed solely to the Commission staff during the 20 -day period is sufficient even if it does not contact the Applicant. 4) Id at S 11.

The Shawnee Tribe is not currently aware of any specific Shawnee Tribe cultural or historic sites in this project area. We therefore offer no objection to the proposed construction. Because this tower lies in the homelands of the Shawnee Tribe, in the event that archaeological materials, including human remains, are discovered during construction or later ground -disturbing activities at this location, please re -open consultation at that time by contacting Kim Jumper at kim.jumper@shawnee-tribe.com or 918-542-2441. Similarly, if plans are considered to expand or modify this tower and cause additional ground disturbance in the future, please let us know. Please forward our concerns regarding any such future work and unanticipated discoveries, as well as our contact information, to the appropriate parties. We urge everyone involved with tower development to construct and maintain their projects in keeping with best practices for minimizing environmental impact - particularly on species, such as birds and bats, who might incur negative impacts from tower development and use. Please also re -vegetate with species native to the area. We appreciate your efforts to consult with us.
