When designed according to this standard, the wind pressures and steel strength capacities include several safety factors, resulting in an overall minimum safety factor of 25%. Therefore, it is highly unlikely that the monopole will fail structurally in a wind event where the design wind speed is exceeded within the range of the built-in safety factors. Should the wind speed increase beyond the capacity of the built-in safety factors, to the point of failure of one or more structural elements, the most likely location of the failure would be within the monopole shaft, well above the base plate. Assuming that the wind pressure profile is similar to that used to design the monopole, the monopole will buckle at the location of the highest combined stress ratio within the monopole shaft, resulting in the portion of the monopole above leaning over and remaining in a permanently deformed condition. Please note that this letter only applies to the above referenced monopole. The fall zone of this structure will be 65 feet above ground level. Sincerely, Camille Shabshab Camille Shabshab, PE Vice President Exhibit “3” Mail Processing Center Federal Aviation Administration Southwest Regional Office Obstruction Evaluation Group 10101 Hillwood Parkway Fort Worth, TX 76177 Aeronautical Study No. 2023-AEA-7649-OE Page 1 of 5 Issued Date: 10/11/2023 COLLEEN KHAN ENTREX 6100 EXECUTIVE BLVD STE 430 ROCKVILLE, MD 20852 ** DETERMINATION OF NO HAZARD TO AIR NAVIGATION ** The Federal Aviation Administration has conducted an aeronautical study under the provisions of 49 U.S.C., Section 44718 and if applicable Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 77, concerning: Structure:Monopole ARCOLA TOWERS - SECURE STORAGE STEPHENS CITY Location:STEPHENS CITY, VA Latitude:39-05-29.82N NAD 83 Longitude:78-10-52.97W Heights:732 feet site elevation (SE) 107 feet above ground level (AGL) 839 feet above mean sea level (AMSL) This aeronautical study revealed that the structure does not exceed obstruction standards and would not be a hazard to air navigation provided the following condition(s), if any, is(are) met: Based on this evaluation, marking and lighting are not necessary for aviation safety.

T-Mobile has a specific search ring in Frederick County at the intersection of Tasker Road and Warrior Drive with a requested antenna centerline of 100 ft. Existing Structures in the Search Ring Arcola Towers was able to confirm there are no existing towers, or other structures closer to 100 ft. in height within the specified search ring, nor within a reasonable distance outside of the search ring. 112 W Washington St #201, Middleburg, VA 20117 | PO Box 2150, Middleburg, VA 20118 | 571.895.3990 | arcolatowers.com Existing Structures outside of the Search Ring Arcola Towers then located the nearest existing tower locations as shown on the attached map in a 1-mile radius: This map illustrates a 1-mile radius from the proposed search ring center, and as shown on the map, there are no existing towers. The closest tower is 1.64 miles to the South of the search ring and will not cover the intended area. Conclusion As noted above, there are no existing structures of sufficient height within the described search ring, and as noted above, the closest existing tower to the Search Ring Center is 1.64 miles away and a Shentel 270 ft tower (Spotswood) and too far to cover T-Mobile’s intended coverage area. Arcola has leased a property from a willing landlord whose property will be developed in accordance with Frederick County regulations.

RF EMISSIONS COMPLIANCE STATEMENT Site: Secure Store - Stephens City 741 Warrior Drive Stephens City, VA 22655 Compliance Statement Subject site COMPLIES with Radiofrequency Radiation Exposure Limits of 47 C.F.R. §§ 1.1307(b)(3) and 1.1310. Ground Level Site Summary Predicted cumulative RF power density at ground level as a percentage of the FCC General Population limits. This result is the sum of the maximum ground level MPE for each RF emitter by band of operation. Sites below 100% are in full compliance. Source Predicted Power Density, % of Limit (GP) T-Mobile 600 MHz 0.127 % T-Mobile 700 MHz 0.086 % T-Mobile 1900 MHz 0.156 % T-Mobile 2100 MHz 0.751 % T-Mobile 11000 MHz 0.000 % Sum of Listed Sources 1.120% Page 1 of 21 - Control # 99889 RF Alerting Signage The RF Warning sign should be posted at the last accessible area before someone can potentially enter an area that can cause exposure. It should be placed at the base of the cell tower. Page 2 of 21 - Control # 99889 Technical Framerwork: Basis for Compliance Statement 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 listed in Table 1 of 47 C.F.R. § 1.1310. Calculations using input data provided to Waterford by client or client's representative numerically confirm the subject site can operate at a 100% duty cycle without exceeding the FCC MPE limits in areas of uncontrolled access. At this site, the radio frequency (RF) power density resulting from each transmitter at any location 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, continuous exposure to RF power density levels below the FCC General Population limits is not hazardous. The FCC General Population limits are 5 times more restrictive than the Occupational limits.. Frequency (MHz) Limits for General Population/ Uncontrolled Exposure Limits for Occupational/ Controlled Exposure Power Density (mW/cm2) Averaging Time (minutes) Power Density (mW/cm2) Averaging Time (minutes) 30-300 0.2 30 1 6 300-1500 f/1500 30 f/300 6 1500-100,000 1.0 30 5.0 6 In situations where the predicted MPE exceeds the General Population threshold in an accessible area because of emissions from multiple transmitters, FCC licensees that contribute greater than 5% of the aggregate MPE share responsibility for mitigation. For any location where radiofrequency (RF) power densities exceed 100% MPE of the General Population limits, access controls with appropriate RF alerting signage must be available 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. Waterford Consultants, LLC recommends that any work activity in these designated areas or in front of any transmitting antennas be coordinated with the wireless operators. Page 3 of 21 - Control # 99889 Predictive Modeling Based on the computational guidelines set forth in FCC Office of Engineering and Technology, Bulletin 65 ("OET65"), Waterford Consultants, LLC has developed software to predict the overall MPE possible at any particular location given the spatial orientation and operating parameters of multiple RF sources. These theoretical results represent worst-case predictions as emitters are assumed to be operating at 100% duty cycle. The tabular analysis in this report calculates the spatial peak power density produced at ground level from each RF emitter. The far field power density in milliWatts per square centimeter is expressed as Sff = 33.4 x ERP / R2 where ERP is the Effective Radiated Power along a specific azimuth in Watts and R is the distance from the antenna radiation center in meters. The antenna manufacturer’s horizontal and vertical radiation patterns have been considered in determining the ERP in any direction. This computation is based on the maximum ERP and includes a 1.6-fold increase in field strength due to ground reflection. The result provides a conservative estimate of spatially averaged power density at ground level and may be higher than predicted MPE in the graphical plots described below. As the limits are frequency dependent, the contribution of any RF source at a specific location may be expressed as a percentage of the FCC General Population MPE limits at the associated operating frequency. The percentage contributions from all RF sources are added to determine the overall exposure level. If this result is less than 100%, the predicted cumulative exposure level is below the General Population limits set forth in the FCC Rules. The cumulative MPE depicted on the summary page is the summation of maximum MPE values for each emitter regardless of antenna orientation. A graphical plot of calculated spatially averaged RF power density, based on the Cylindrical Model as described in OET65, predicts spatially averaged MPE conditions at areas in near proximity to the antenna. In the vertical display, predicted MPE is depicted at the center of the 6 ft vertical zone that a person could occupy.

The purpose of a NEPA Review is to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969. Trileaf performed extensive research by consulting with appropriate state and federal agencies and reviewing readily available published lists, files, data, and maps to provide our clients with a complete NEPA document. The following summarizes the scope of work Trileaf performed in accordance with the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC’s) rules implementing NEPA (47 CFR Section 1.1307 (a) (1) through (8) to determine whether any of the below listed FCC special interest items would be affected by the proposed action. Referenced materials are included as attachments, where applicable and available. Our client proposes to construct a 105-foot monopole communications tower with an overall height of 107 feet, including attachments. Associated equipment will be located within a 35-foot by 64-foot (2,240 square feet) fenced compound. The project includes a 20-foot wide access easement extending northeast, then east away from the lease area approximately 700 feet toward Warrior Drive. Additionally, the project includes a utility easement extending southeast, then northeast, then west away from the lease area approximately 950 feet toward Warrior Drive. The proposed project site is located at approximately 741 Warrior Drive, Stephens City, Frederick County, VA 22655 at 39° 05’ 29.82” North latitude and 78° 10’ 52.97” West longitude. During Trileaf’s site reconnaissance, it was observed that the site is currently paved parking lot, and the areas surrounding the site are currently forested, commercial and residential properties. 1. Will the facility be located in an officially designated wilderness area? Trileaf reviewed the USGS 7.5-minute topographic map titled “Stephens City” Quadrangle, VA and information from the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS) (http://www.wilderness.net) to determine if the site is located within an officially designated wilderness area. There are currently twenty-four (24) officially designated wilderness areas in the State of VA. The closest wilderness area to the project site is the Shenandoah Wilderness Area, which is located approximately 19 miles south of the project site. Based on this review, the project site is not located within an officially designated wilderness area. 2.Will the facility be located in an officially designated wildlife preserve? Trileaf reviewed the USGS 7.5-minute topographic map titled “Stephens City” Quadrangle, VA, and information from the National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) System (http://www.fws.gov/refuges) to determine if the site is located within an officially designated wildlife preserve or refuge. Based on this review, the project site is not located within an officially designated wildlife preserve or refuge. A copy of the NWR System map is located in Appendix B. 2 3. Will the facility (i) affect listed threatened or endangered species or designated critical habitat; or (ii) likely jeopardize the continued existence of any proposed endangered or threatened species or likely result in the destruction or adverse modification of proposed critical habitats, as determined by the Secretary of the Interior pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973? The Endangered Species Act (ESA) of 1973 (16 U.S.C. §§ 1536), as amended, protects endangered and threatened species and the ecosystems upon which they depend. As interpreted and implemented by 50 CFR 402, Section 7 of the ESA directs Federal agencies, in consultation with and with the assistance of the Secretary of the Interior, to utilize their authorities to further the purposes of the ESA. It also requires every Federal agency to ensure that any action it authorizes, funds or carries out, is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any endangered or threatened species or results in the destruction or adverse modification of critical habitat. On July 5, 2023, a Trileaf representative visited and photographed the project site to conduct an Informal Biological Assessment (IBA). In addition, Trileaf reviewed the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) critical habitat information and determined that the site is not located within designated critical habitat. Based on the results of our assessment, impacts to listed and/or proposed, threatened and endangered species or critical habitats resulting from the proposed action are not anticipated. Therefore, Trileaf determined that the proposed project site will have “no effect” on the species, their habitats, or designated critical habitats. Copies of the IBA and critical habitat review are located in Appendix D. FEDERAL On July 19, 2023, Trileaf reviewed and submitted project information to the USFWS – Virginia Ecological Services Field Office. Trileaf has determined the project would have no effect on listed or proposed threatened or endangered species or critical habitats and therefore meets the requirements for categorical clearance. As of the date of this report no comments have been received from the USFWS – Virginia Ecological Services Field Office. A copy of the USFWS’ Section 7 guidance is located in Appendix D. The USFWS indicates that should project plans change or if additional information on the distribution of proposed or listed species proposed or designated critical habitat, or bald eagles becomes available, this determination may be reconsidered. The certification Letter Provided by the USFWS is valid for (1) one year from the date of the letter (July 19, 2023). STATE On July 19, 2023, Trileaf submitted project information to both the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) and the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). On August 10, 2023, the VA DCR responded, indicating that natural heritage resources have not been documented in the project area including a 100-foot buffer, “The current activity will not affect any documented state-listed plants or insects.” A copy of the VA DCR response is located in Appendix D. The VA DCR indicates that as new and updated information is continually added to Biotics, the project should be re-submitted if the scope of the project changes and/or six (6) months passes before the information is utilized (August 10, 2023). 4. Will the facility affect districts, sites, buildings, structures, or objects significant in American history, architecture, archeology, engineering, or culture that are listed, or are eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places? Trileaf referred to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966 as amended (16 U.S.C. §§ 470 et seq.), the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) implementing regulations (36 CFR Part 800) and the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement (NPA) for Review of Effects on Historic 3 Properties for Certain Undertakings Approved by the Federal Communications Commission dated September 2004 to determine if the project site is contained in, on, or within the viewshed of a building, site, district, structure, or object, significant in American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, or culture, that is listed, or eligible for listing on the National Registers of Historic Places, or located in or on an Indian Religious Site. A search of the National Historic Landmarks (NHL), National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) files, and a field survey was conducted by Ms. Sara McLaughlin, Secretary of Interior-qualified Architectural Historian and Ms. Katheine Thorwart, Secretary of Interior- qualified Archaeologist contracted by Trileaf through Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, to identify any cultural resources within the area of direct effects and within a 0.50-mile radius for visual effects. It was determined that there were no historic properties identified within the Area of Potential Effects (APE) for direct effects, and no historic properties identified within the APE for visual effects. Additionally, the identification process did not locate archaeological materials that would be directly affected, or sites that are of cultural or religious significance to Tribes/NHOs. Documentation of these reviews was submitted to the SHPO via Form 620 on July 17, 2023. The SHPO concurred that the proposed undertaking would have no direct or visual effects on historic properties in a response letter dated August 10, 2023. A copy of the SHPO concurrence letter, Form 620, and associated documents are located in Appendix E. On July 7, 2023, Stephens City and the Newton History Center were notified of the proposed project and invited to comment on the proposed project’s potential effect on Historic Properties as well as indicate whether they are interested in consulting further on the proposed project. Additionally, a legal notice regarding the proposed telecommunications tower construction was posted in the Northern Virginia Daily on July 31, 2023. On July 10, 2023, the Newton History Center responded that they were not aware of any historic sites in the area of interest. No comments from the local government, or legal notice have been received by Trileaf. Copies of the correspondence and legal notice are located in Appendix E. NATIONAL SCENIC TRAILS On October 5, 1999, the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association, Personal Communications Industry Association, Appalachian Trail Conference, American Hiking Society, and representative Managing and Supporting Trails Organizations (MSTOs) for the National Scenic Trails signed a resolution for the Siting of Wireless Telecommunications Facilities Near National Scenic Trails. This resolution states that if a wireless telecommunications or site management company plans a new or significantly expanded facility within one mile of a National Scenic Trail, it will notify the non-profit group that supports the trail. In order to determine if the site is located within one mile of a National Scenic Trail, Trileaf reviewed information from the National Park Service (NPS) National Trails System created by the National Trails System Act of 1968. Based on this review, the project site is not located within 1 mile of a National Scenic Trail. A copy of the trails map is located in Appendix B. 5. Will the facility affect any Indian religious sites? Trileaf referred to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966 as amended (16 U.S.C. §§ 470 et seq.), the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) implementing regulations (36 CFR Part 800) and the Nationwide Programmatic Agreement (NPA) for Review of Effects on Historic Properties for Certain Undertakings Approved by the Federal Communications Commission dated September 2004 to determine if the project site is located in or on an Indian Religious Site. 4 On July 7, 2023, Trileaf submitted project information through the Tower Construction Notification System (TCNS) to the FCC who initiated contact with the tribes on July 14, 2023. As of September 8, 2023, all tribes have confirmed clearance either directly or by default via the FCC referral process. Trileaf determined that the subject Property is not located on or near a Native American Religious or Sacred Site. However, if archaeological remains or resources are unearthed during construction activities, Trileaf recommends that the client stop construction and notify our office immediately. Tribal consultation documentation and associated correspondence is located in Appendix F. 6. Will the facility be located in a floodplain and not be placed at least one (1) foot above the base flood elevation of the floodplain? Trileaf reviewed the relevant Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Panel #51069C0350E, dated January 29, 2021, to determine if the project was located within the 100-year floodplain. Trileaf determined that the property is located in Zone X, areas determined to be outside the 500-year floodplain. Therefore, the project site is not located within a 100-year floodplain. A copy of the FEMA FIRM showing the project site location is located in Appendix B. 7. Will the construction of the facility involve significant change in surface features (e.g. wetland fill, deforestation, or water diversion)? Trileaf determined through site reconnaissance, review of the relevant USGS 7.5-minute topographic map titled “Stephens City” Quadrangle, VA, and review of the relevant USFWS National Wetlands Inventory Map (http://www.fws.gov/wetlands/Data/Mapper.html) that there are no federally designated wetlands on or in the immediate vicinity of the proposed project site. Trileaf’s site assessment did not reveal any evidence of potential wetlands or hydrophytic vegetation located on or in the immediate vicinity of the project site. Additionally, a review of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Soil Survey (http://websoilsurvey.sc.egov.usda.gov) did not indicate hydric soils at the project site. Based on this review, no designated wetland areas were located within the vicinity of this project and no significant changes in surface features resulting from the proposed undertaking are anticipated. Copies of the soil map and wetlands map are located in Appendix B. 8. Zoning/High Intensity White Lights/Radio Frequency As a standard practice, Arcola Towers does not construct facilities requiring high intensity white lights that are to be located in residentially zoned neighborhoods. According to Arcola Towers, high intensity white lights will not be used for towers less than 500 feet in height. 9. Radio Frequency FCC licensees transmitting from antennas mounted on Arcola Towers owned antenna structures will comply with the established criteria regarding radio frequency exposure limits in accordance with the 5 Second Report and Order, as well as the FCC Code of Federal Regulations [47 CFR § 1.1307, § 1.1310] published at the time of this report. Conclusion A NEPA Review of the proposed undertaking was performed by Trileaf Corporation in conformance with the FCC rules and regulations for implementing NEPA; 47 CFR 1.1301 to 1.1319. Based on data obtained during the Site visit, consultation with government agencies, and a review of readily available information from other sources, the preparation and filing of an Environmental Assessment will not be required and no further NEPA-related action is required for the proposed undertaking.

United States Department of Agriculture A product of the National Cooperative Soil Survey, a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local participants Custom Soil Resource Report for Frederick County, VirginiaNatural Resources Conservation Service July 6, 2023 Preface Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas. They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers. Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand, protect, or enhance the environment. Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions. The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations. Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/ portal/nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center (https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil Scientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/contactus/? cid=nrcs142p2_053951). Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to basements or underground installations. The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National Cooperative Soil Survey. Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length, and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other biological activity. Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA. The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a specific location on the landscape. Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented by an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries. Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units). Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil 5 scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and research. The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map. The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape, and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the soil-landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at specific locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded. These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color, depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil typically vary from one point to another across the landscape. Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other properties. While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management. Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same kinds of soil. Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example, soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date. After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and Custom Soil Resource Report 6 identified each as a specific map unit.

The map unit descriptions, along with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit. A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class. Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils. Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and miscellaneous areas on the landscape. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however, onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas. Custom Soil Resource Report 11 An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions. Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil properties and qualities. Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement. Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness, salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series. Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas. These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups. A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example. An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example. Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

Sincerely, Cindy Schulz Field Supervisor Virginia Ecological Services Enclosures - project review package Informal Biological Assessment Arcola Towers Project Name: Secure Store - Stephens City / Trileaf #729238 Latitude: 39° 05’ 29.82” N, Longitude: 78° 10’ 52.97” W Trileaf performed an Informal Biological Assessment for the subject site. The purpose is to document whether the proposed undertaking will affect listed or proposed threatened or endangered species, designated critical habitats, wetlands, and migratory birds. A project description, site photographs, topographical maps, wetland maps, and soil maps are included in this report. Proposed Project Description: The Site is l ocated at 741 Warrior Drive, Stephens City, Frederick County, VA 22655, and consists of the construct of a 105-foot monopole communications tower with an overall height of 107 feet, including attachments. Associated equipment will be located within a 35-foot by 64-foot (2,240 square feet) fenced compound. The project includes a 20-foot wide access easement extending northeast, then east away from the lease area approximately 700 feet toward Warrior Drive. Additionally, the project includes a utility easement extending southeast, then northeast, then west away from the lease area approximately 950 feet toward Warrior Drive. The proposed location is currently a paved parking lot of a storage facility.. The proposed structure site is approximately 107 feet above mean sea level. Site and Surrounding Habitat: The Site is currently located within a paved parking lot of a storage facility. During the area reconnaissance, no trees along the access road, and generally throughout the area were identified to be removed. The surrounding habitat within a 0.5 mile radius of the proposed site consists predominantly of residential development. To the north is a buffer of trees, followed by residential development, followed by commercial development, followed by residential development. To the east is a buffer of trees, followed by commercial development, followed by Warrior Drive, followed by commercial development, followed by residential development. To the south is a buffer of trees, followed by Warrior Drive, followed by residential development, followed by a buffer of trees and associated agricultural field. To the west is a buffer of trees, followed by residential development. The current habitat is not mapped as critical habitat, nor does it qualify as sufficient habitat for Federal or State listed species. Wetlands: Trileaf has reviewed the topographic map, soil composition, as well as the National Wetlands Inventory Map to determine if the proposed lease area and easements would have an impact on any wetlands or require significant amounts of fill or grading. Trileaf determined that the site is not located in a recognized national wetland area. Trileaf pe rformed a field visit and identified s urface water bodies. Using local maps in combination with an area reconnaissance the following water bodies have been identified in the table below: Secure Store – Stephens City Trileaf# 729238 Water Body Type Water Body Name Direction from Structure Distance from Structure Freshwater Pond Unnamed N 555 feet Riverine Unnamed E 0.11 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed N 0.21 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed N 0.22 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed NW 0.29 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed N 0.29 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed N 0.34 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed N 0.33 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed N 0.39 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed W 0.44 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed NE 0.45 miles Freshwater Emergent Wetland Unnamed NE 0.45 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed NW 0.48 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed SE 0.48 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed S 0.48 miles Migratory Birds: The proposed Site and design process for this project could not conform to all the USFWS recommendations to decrease potential effects on migratory birds. Therefore, it has included mitigating factors such as structure placement within minimally sensitive areas, avoiding placement near wetlands and large water bodies, limiting structure height to 105 feet, and eliminating the need for guy wires or FAA obstruction lighting. While the proposed Site is located near the Atlantic flyway, our site investigation has determined that the project area is not located in an NWI mapped wetland, waterway, wildlife refuge, national wilderness area, native grassland or forest area, ridgeline, mountain top, coastline or area commonly known to have high incidences of fog or low clouds, where migratory birds may be found. Based upon the efforts undertaken during this IBA as well as the current data made available, we have concluded that this project will not have a significant effect on migratory birds; however, the presence of migratory birds cannot be ruled out. Soils: According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Web Soil Survey of Frederick County, Virginia, the Site is underlain by Clearbrook channery silt loam with a 2 to 7 percent slope. Clearbrook soils consist of somewhat poorly drained soils that are formed from residuum formed from acid shale and sandstone and are found in hills. The depth to the most restrictive feature is 20 to 40 inches to paralithic bedrock. The depth to the water table is about 3 to 12 inches. A typical profile of Clearbrook soil consists of a surface layer of channery silt loam extending from 0 to 7 inches, subsurface layers of very channery silty clay loam extending in two (2) distinct layers from 7 to 14 inches, and 14 to 23 inches, extremely channery silty clay loam extending from 23 to 27 inches ad bedrock extending from 27 to 31 inches. Clearbrook soils have no frequency of flooding or ponding. Clearbrook channery silt loam, 2 to 7 percent slopes, is not considered a hydric soil, and no hydrophytic vegetation or surface water was observed. Secure Store – Stephens City Trileaf# 729238 Threatened or Endangered Species: Trileaf has researched the listed or proposed threatened or endangered species and designated critical habitat for the project area. This includes any such species that have been reported to exist within the action area where the project is located. The list of federally threatened or endangered species was acquired through the USFWS’s Information, Planning, and Consultation system (IPaC) and is specific to the site. A list of species and site observations are summarized in the following table: Species / Resource Name Conclusion ESA Section 7 Notes / Documentation Critical Habitat No Critical Habitat Present No Effect IPaC Species List Indiana Bat (Myotis sodalist) Species not present, no suitable habitat present No Effect Habitat assessment indicated no potential habitat present Northern Long-eared Bat (Myotis septentrionalis) Species not present, no suitable habitat present No Effect Habitat assessment indicated no potential habitat present Tri-colored Bat (Perimyotis subflavus) Species not present, no suitable habitat present No Effect Habitat assessment indicated no potential habitat present Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) Species not present, no suitable habitat present No effect Habitat assessment indicated no potential habitat present Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) Species not present, no potential habitat present No Effect Habitat assessment indicated no potential habitat present Black Skimmer (Rynchops niger) Species not present, no optimal habitat present No Effect Habitat assessment indicated no potential habitat present Black-billed Cuckoo (Coccyzus erythropthalmus) Species not present, no optimal habitat present No Effect Habitat assessment indicated no potential habitat present Secure Store – Stephens City Trileaf# 729238 Species / Resource Name Conclusion ESA Section 7 Notes / Documentation Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus practicus) Species not present, no potential habitat present No Effect Habitat assessment indicated no potential habitat present Chimney Swift (Chaetura pelagica) Species not present, no potential habitat present No Effect Habitat assessment indicated no potential habitat present Prairie Warbler (Dendroica discolor) Species not present, no potential habitat present No Effect Habitat assessment indicated no potential habitat present Prairie Warbler (Dendroica discolor) Species not present, no potential habitat present No Effect Habitat assessment indicated no potential habitat present Read-headed Woodpecker (Melanerpes erythrocephalu) Species not present, no potential habitat present No Effect Habitat assessment indicated no potential habitat present Rusty Blackbird (Euphagus carolinus) Species not present, no potential habitat present No Effect Habitat assessment indicated no potential habitat present Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) Species not present, no potential habitat present No Effect Habitat assessment indicated no potential habitat present Conclusions: Based on the efforts undertaken during our IBA, project specifications and the current data made available, we have concluded that there is no potential for the proposed project to have a significant effect on listed or proposed, threatened and endangered species, their designated critical habitat, or migratory birds. It should be noted that this informal biological assessment was conducted in accordance with the Scope of Work and does not constitute a Section 7 Biological Assessment under the Endangered Species Act (50 CFR Part 402.01).

Our client proposes to construct a 105-foot monopole communications tower with an overall height of 107 feet, including attachments. Associated equipment will be located within a 35-foot by 64-foot (2,240 square feet) fenced compound. The project includes a 20-foot wide access easement extending northeast, then east away from the lease area approximately 700 feet toward Warrior Drive. Additionally, the project includes a utility easement extending southeast, then northeast, then west away from the lease area approximately 950 feet toward Warrior Drive. The proposed location is currently a paved parking lot of a storage facility. A site location map, photos and biological assessment are enclosed for your review. Our investigation includes determining if any of the following special resource areas are located at the site. 1. Is the site located in or on a wilderness area or wildlife preserve? 2. Is the site located within a principal migratory bird flyway? 3. Is the site located in or on a designated critical habitat? 4. Does the site sustain any species of plant or animal life that is designated as threatened or endangered? As noted in the enclosed Informal Biological Assessment, the species have not been observed and are highly unlikely to exist within the action area. Therefore, based on the documents reviewed, no threatened/endangered species or designated critical habitat will be impacted by the proposed project. Trileaf is requesting concurrence from the DWR with the finding of “no effect” threatened and endangered species, critical habitat, or other special resources.

Our client proposes to construct a 105-foot monopole communications tower with an overall height of 107 feet, including attachments. Associated equipment will be located within a 35-foot by 64-foot (2,240 square feet) fenced compound. The project includes a 20-foot wide access easement extending northeast, then east away from the lease area approximately 700 feet toward Warrior Drive. Additionally, the project includes a utility easement extending southeast, then northeast, then west away from the lease area approximately 950 feet toward Warrior Drive. The proposed location is currently a paved parking lot of a storage facility. A site location map, photos and biological assessment are enclosed for your review. Our investigation includes determining if any of the following special resource areas are located at the site. 1. Is the site located in or on a wilderness area or wildlife preserve? 2. Is the site located within a principal migratory bird flyway? 3. Is the site located in or on a designated critical habitat? 4. Does the site sustain any species of plant or animal life that is designated as threatened or endangered? As noted in the enclosed Informal Biological Assessment, the species have not been observed and are highly unlikely to exist within the action area. Therefore, based on the documents reviewed, no threatened/endangered species or designated critical habitat will be impacted by the proposed project. Trileaf is requesting concurrence from the DCR with the finding of “no effect” threatened and endangered species, critical habitat, or other special resources. If you need additional information or have any questions you may reach me at (410) 853-7128 or k.lauer@trileaf.com. Thank you for your assistance in this regard. Sincerely, Kayla Lauer Assistant Project Manager Informal Biological Assessment Arcola Towers Project Name: Secure Store - Stephens City / Trileaf #729238 Latitude: 39° 05’ 29.82” N, Longitude: 78° 10’ 52.97” W Trileaf performed an Informal Biological Assessment for the subject site. The purpose is to document whether the proposed undertaking will affect listed or proposed threatened or endangered species, designated critical habitats, wetlands, and migratory birds. A project description, site photographs, topographical maps, wetland maps, and soil maps are included in this report. Proposed Project Description: The Site is l ocated at 741 Warrior Drive, Stephens City, Frederick County, VA 22655, and consists of the construct of a 105-foot monopole communications tower with an overall height of 107 feet, including attachments. Associated equipment will be located within a 35-foot by 64-foot (2,240 square feet) fenced compound. The project includes a 20-foot wide access easement extending northeast, then east away from the lease area approximately 700 feet toward Warrior Drive. Additionally, the project includes a utility easement extending southeast, then northeast, then west away from the lease area approximately 950 feet toward Warrior Drive. The proposed location is currently a paved parking lot of a storage facility.. The proposed structure site is approximately 107 feet above mean sea level. Site and Surrounding Habitat: The Site is currently located within a paved parking lot of a storage facility. During the area reconnaissance, no trees along the access road, and generally throughout the area were identified to be removed. The surrounding habitat within a 0.5 mile radius of the proposed site consists predominantly of residential development. To the north is a buffer of trees, followed by residential development, followed by commercial development, followed by residential development. To the east is a buffer of trees, followed by commercial development, followed by Warrior Drive, followed by commercial development, followed by residential development. To the south is a buffer of trees, followed by Warrior Drive, followed by residential development, followed by a buffer of trees and associated agricultural field. To the west is a buffer of trees, followed by residential development. The current habitat is not mapped as critical habitat, nor does it qualify as sufficient habitat for Federal or State listed species. Wetlands: Trileaf has reviewed the topographic map, soil composition, as well as the National Wetlands Inventory Map to determine if the proposed lease area and easements would have an impact on any wetlands or require significant amounts of fill or grading. Trileaf determined that the site is not located in a recognized national wetland area. Trileaf pe rformed a field visit and identified s urface water bodies. Using local maps in combination with an area reconnaissance the following water bodies have been identified in the table below: Secure Store – Stephens City Trileaf# 729238 Water Body Type Water Body Name Direction from Structure Distance from Structure Freshwater Pond Unnamed N 555 feet Riverine Unnamed E 0.11 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed N 0.21 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed N 0.22 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed NW 0.29 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed N 0.29 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed N 0.34 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed N 0.33 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed N 0.39 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed W 0.44 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed NE 0.45 miles Freshwater Emergent Wetland Unnamed NE 0.45 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed NW 0.48 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed SE 0.48 miles Freshwater Pond Unnamed S 0.48 miles Migratory Birds: The proposed Site and design process for this project could not conform to all the USFWS recommendations to decrease potential effects on migratory birds. Therefore, it has included mitigating factors such as structure placement within minimally sensitive areas, avoiding placement near wetlands and large water bodies, limiting structure height to 105 feet, and eliminating the need for guy wires or FAA obstruction lighting. While the proposed Site is located near the Atlantic flyway, our site investigation has determined that the project area is not located in an NWI mapped wetland, waterway, wildlife refuge, national wilderness area, native grassland or forest area, ridgeline, mountain top, coastline or area commonly known to have high incidences of fog or low clouds, where migratory birds may be found. Based upon the efforts undertaken during this IBA as well as the current data made available, we have concluded that this project will not have a significant effect on migratory birds; however, the presence of migratory birds cannot be ruled out. Soils: According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Web Soil Survey of Frederick County, Virginia, the Site is underlain by Clearbrook channery silt loam with a 2 to 7 percent slope. Clearbrook soils consist of somewhat poorly drained soils that are formed from residuum formed from acid shale and sandstone and are found in hills. The depth to the most restrictive feature is 20 to 40 inches to paralithic bedrock. The depth to the water table is about 3 to 12 inches. A typical profile of Clearbrook soil consists of a surface layer of channery silt loam extending from 0 to 7 inches, subsurface layers of very channery silty clay loam extending in two (2) distinct layers from 7 to 14 inches, and 14 to 23 inches, extremely channery silty clay loam extending from 23 to 27 inches ad bedrock extending from 27 to 31 inches. Clearbrook soils have no frequency of flooding or ponding. Clearbrook channery silt loam, 2 to 7 percent slopes, is not considered a hydric soil, and no hydrophytic vegetation or surface water was observed. Secure Store – Stephens City Trileaf# 729238 Threatened or Endangered Species: Trileaf has researched the listed or proposed threatened or endangered species and designated critical habitat for the project area. This includes any such species that have been reported to exist within the action area where the project is located. The list of federally threatened or endangered species was acquired through the USFWS’s Information, Planning, and Consultation system (IPaC) and is specific to the site. The state lists of threatened or endangered species were acquired from the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) and the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and were broken down by county. The lease area is not located within an aquatic environment; therefore any obligate aquatic species should not be directly impacted by this project and are not included in the table below. In addition, due to the commercial disturbances at the Site, no native plant species are present and are therefore not included. A list of remaining species and site observations are summarized in the following table: Species / Resource Name Conclusion ESA Section 7 Notes / Documentation Critical Habitat No Critical Habitat

Conclusions: Based on the efforts undertaken during our IBA, project specifications and the current data made available, we have concluded that there is no potential for the proposed project to have a significant effect on listed or proposed, threatened and endangered species, their designated critical habitat, or migratory birds. It should be noted that this informal biological assessment was conducted in accordance with the Scope of Work and does not constitute a Section 7 Biological Assessment under the Endangered Species Act (50 CFR Part 402.01).

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 utilize their authorities to carry out programs for the conservation of threatened and endangered species and to determine whether projects may affect threatened and endangered species and/or designated critical habitat. 07/13/2023   2    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 Environmental 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 Migratory Birds: In addition to responsibilities to protect threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), there are additional responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (BGEPA) to protect native birds from project-related impacts. Any activity, intentional or unintentional, resulting in take of migratory birds, including eagles, is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (50 C.F.R. Sec. 10.12 and 16 U.S.C. Sec. 668(a)). For more information regarding these Acts see https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations.php. The MBTA has no provision for allowing take of migratory birds that may be unintentionally killed or injured by otherwise lawful activities. It is the responsibility of the project proponent to comply with these Acts by identifying potential impacts to migratory birds and eagles within applicable NEPA documents (when there is a federal nexus) or a Bird/Eagle Conservation Plan (when there is no federal nexus). Proponents should implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize the production of project-related stressors or minimize the exposure of birds and their resources to the project-related stressors. For more information on avian stressors and recommended conservation measures see https://www.fws.gov/birds/bird-enthusiasts/threats-to- birds.php. In addition to MBTA and BGEPA, Executive Order 13186: Responsibilities of Federal Agencies to Protect Migratory Birds, obligates all Federal agencies that engage in or authorize activities that might affect migratory birds, to minimize those effects and encourage conservation measures that will improve bird populations. Executive Order 13186 provides for the protection of both migratory birds and migratory bird habitat. For information regarding the implementation of Executive Order 13186, please visit https://www.fws.gov/birds/policies-and-regulations/ executive-orders/e0-13186.php. We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species.

Probability of Presence () Each green bar represents the bird's relative probability of presence in the 10km grid cell(s) your project overlaps during a particular week of the year. (A year is represented as 12 4-week months.) A taller bar indicates a higher probability of species presence. The survey effort (see below) can be used to establish a level of confidence in the presence score. One can have higher confidence in the presence score if the corresponding survey effort is also high. How is the probability of presence score calculated? The calculation is done in three steps: The probability of presence for each week is calculated as the number of survey events in the week where the species was detected divided by the total number of survey events for that week. For example, if in week 12 there were 20 survey events and the Spotted Towhee was found in 5 of them, the probability of presence of the Spotted Towhee in week 12 is 0.25. 07/13/2023   3    2. 3.  no data survey effort breeding season probability of presence To properly present the pattern of presence across the year, the relative probability of presence is calculated. This is the probability of presence divided by the maximum probability of presence across all weeks. For example, imagine the probability of presence in week 20 for the Spotted Towhee is 0.05, and that the probability of presence at week 12 (0.25) is the maximum of any week of the year. The relative probability of presence on week 12 is 0.25/0.25 = 1; at week 20 it is 0.05/0.25 = 0.2. The relative probability of presence calculated in the previous step undergoes a statistical conversion so that all possible values fall between 0 and 10, inclusive. This is the probability of presence score. Breeding Season () Yellow bars denote a very liberal estimate of the time-frame inside which the bird breeds across its entire range. If there are no yellow bars shown for a bird, it does not breed in your project area. Survey Effort () Vertical black lines superimposed on probability of presence bars indicate the number of surveys performed for that species in the 10km grid cell(s) your project area overlaps. The number of surveys is expressed as a range, for example, 33 to 64 surveys. No Data () A week is marked as having no data if there were no survey events for that week. Survey Timeframe Surveys from only the last 10 years are used in order to ensure delivery of currently relevant information. The exception to this is areas off the Atlantic coast, where bird returns are based on all years of available data, since data in these areas is currently much more sparse.

Nationwide Conservation Measures describes measures that can help avoid and minimize impacts to all birds at any location year round. Implementation of these measures is particularly important when birds are most likely to occur in the project area. When birds may be breeding in the area, identifying the locations of any active nests and avoiding their destruction is a very helpful impact minimization measure. To see when birds are most likely to occur and be breeding in your project area, view the Probability of Presence Summary. Additional measures or permits may be advisable depending on the type of activity you are conducting and the type of infrastructure or bird species present on your project site. What does IPaC use to generate the list of migratory birds that potentially occur in my specified location? The Migratory Bird Resource List is comprised of USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) and other species that may warrant special attention in your project location. The migratory bird list generated for your project is derived from data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). The AKN data is based on a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets and is queried and filtered to return a list of those birds reported as occurring in the 10km grid cell(s) which your project intersects, and that have been identified as warranting special attention because they are a BCC species in that area, an eagle (Eagle Act requirements may apply), or a species that has a particular vulnerability to offshore activities or development. 07/13/2023   5    1. 2. 3. Again, the Migratory Bird Resource list includes only a subset of birds that may occur in your project area. It is not representative of all birds that may occur in your project area. To get a list of all birds potentially present in your project area, please visit the Rapid Avian Information Locator (RAIL) Tool. What does IPaC use to generate the probability of presence graphs for the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location? The probability of presence graphs associated with your migratory bird list are based on data provided by the Avian Knowledge Network (AKN). This data is derived from a growing collection of survey, banding, and citizen science datasets. Probability of presence data is continuously being updated as new and better information becomes available. To learn more about how the probability of presence graphs are produced and how to interpret them, go the Probability of Presence Summary and then click on the "Tell me about these graphs" link. How do I know if a bird is breeding, wintering or migrating in my area? To see what part of a particular bird's range your project area falls within (i.e. breeding, wintering, migrating or year-round), you may query your location using the RAIL Tool and look at the range maps provided for birds in your area at the bottom of the profiles provided for each bird in your results. If a bird on your migratory bird species list has a breeding season associated with it, if that bird does occur in your project area, there may be nests present at some point within the timeframe specified. If "Breeds elsewhere" is indicated, then the bird likely does not breed in your project area. What are the levels of concern for migratory birds? Migratory birds delivered through IPaC fall into the following distinct categories of concern: "BCC Rangewide" birds are Birds of Conservation Concern (BCC) that are of concern throughout their range anywhere within the USA (including Hawaii, the Pacific Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands); "BCC - BCR" birds are BCCs that are of concern only in particular Bird Conservation Regions (BCRs) in the continental USA; and "Non-BCC - Vulnerable" birds are not BCC species in your project area, but appear on your list either because of the Eagle Act requirements (for eagles) or (for non-eagles) potential susceptibilities in offshore areas from certain types of development or activities (e.g. offshore energy development or longline fishing). Although it is important to try to avoid and minimize impacts to all birds, efforts should be made, in particular, to avoid and minimize impacts to the birds on this list, especially eagles and BCC species of rangewide concern. For more information on conservation measures you can implement to help avoid and minimize migratory bird impacts and requirements for eagles, please see the FAQs for these topics. Details about birds that are potentially affected by offshore projects For additional details about the relative occurrence and abundance of both individual bird species and groups of bird species within your project area off the Atlantic Coast, please visit the Northeast Ocean Data Portal. The Portal also offers data and information about other taxa besides 07/13/2023   6    birds that may be helpful to you in your project review. Alternately, you may download the bird model results files underlying the portal maps through the NOAA NCCOS Integrative Statistical Modeling and Predictive Mapping of Marine Bird Distributions and Abundance on the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf project webpage. Bird tracking data can also provide additional details about occurrence and habitat use throughout the year, including migration. Models relying on survey data may not include this information. For additional information on marine bird tracking data, see the Diving Bird Study and the nanotag studies or contact Caleb Spiegel or Pam Loring. What if I have eagles on my list? If your project has the potential to disturb or kill eagles, you may need to obtain a permit to avoid violating the Eagle Act should such impacts occur. Proper Interpretation and Use of Your Migratory Bird Report The migratory bird list generated is not a list of all birds in your project area, only a subset of birds of priority concern. To learn more about how your list is generated, and see options for identifying what other birds may be in your project area, please see the FAQ "What does IPaC use to generate the migratory birds potentially occurring in my specified location". Please be aware this report provides the "probability of presence" of birds within the 10 km grid cell(s) that overlap your project; not your exact project footprint. On the graphs provided, please also look carefully at the survey effort (indicated by the black vertical bar) and for the existence of the "no data" indicator (a red horizontal bar). A high survey effort is the key component. If the survey effort is high, then the probability of presence score can be viewed as more dependable. In contrast, a low survey effort bar or no data bar means a lack of data and, therefore, a lack of certainty about presence of the species. This list is not perfect; it is simply a starting point for identifying what birds of concern have the potential to be in your project area, when they might be there, and if they might be breeding (which means nests might be present). The list helps you know what to look for to confirm presence, and helps guide you in knowing when to implement conservation measures to avoid or minimize potential impacts from your project activities, should presence be confirmed. To learn more about conservation measures, visit the FAQ "Tell me about conservation measures I can implement to avoid or minimize impacts to migratory birds" at the bottom of your migratory bird trust resources page. 07/13/2023   7    IPAC USER CONTACT INFORMATION Agency:Trileaf Corporation Name:Kayla Lauer Address:8600 LaSalle Road, Suite 301 City:Towson State:MD Zip:21286 Email k.lauer@trileaf.com Phone:4108537128 Travis A.

Natural heritage resources are defined as the habitat of rare, threatened, or endangered plant and animal species, unique or exemplary natural communities, and significant geologic formations. According to the information currently in Biotics, natural heritage resources have not been documented within the submitted project boundary including a 100-foot buffer. The absence of data may indicate that the project area has not been surveyed, rather than confirm that the area lacks natural heritage resources. In addition, the project boundary does not intersect any of the predictive models identifying potential habitat for natural heritage resources. Furthermore, according to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Guidance dated April 2018, “almost 7 million birds, predominantly night-migrating songbirds, die annually as a result of collisions with lit communication towers in the United States. Given the height, structural engineering needs (i.e., guy wires), and obstruction lighting requirements, communication towers may cause direct and indirect bird mortality” (USFWS, 2018). Therefore, to reduce the risk of bird mortality at communication towers, DCR recommends comprehensive voluntary implementation of USFWS guidelines for Communication Tower Design, Siting, Construction, Operation, Maintenance and Decommissioning (https://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/pdf/management/usfwscommtowerguidance.pdf). Under a Memorandum of Agreement established between the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) and the DCR, DCR represents VDACS in comments regarding potential impacts on state- listed threatened and endangered plant and insect species. The current activity will not affect any documented state-listed plants or insects. There are no State Natural Area Preserves under DCR’s jurisdiction in the project vicinity. New and updated information is continually added to Biotics. Please re-submit a completed order form and project map for an update on this natural heritage information if the scope of the project changes and/or six months has passed before it is utilized. A fee of $90.00 has been assessed for the service of providing this information. Please find attached an invoice for that amount. Please return one copy of the invoice along with your remittance made payable to the Treasurer of Virginia, DCR Finance, 600 East Main Street, 24th Floor, Richmond, VA 23219. Payment is due within thirty days of the invoice date. Please note late payment may result in the suspension of project review service for future projects. The Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (VDWR) maintains a database of wildlife locations, including threatened and endangered species, trout streams, and anadromous fish waters that may contain information not documented in this letter. Their database may be accessed https://services.dwr.virginia.gov/fwis/ or contact Amy Martin at 804-367-2211 or amy.martin@dwr.virginia.gov.

SITE INFORMATION – ADDITIONAL SITE INFORMATION Describe any additional structures, access roads, utility lines, fences, easements, or other construction planned for the site in conjunction with the proposed wireless telecommunication facility. Use this attachment to provide additional details needed to present a full and accurate description of any construction activities that will take place to complete the installation. See below for a short summary of the project, including a description of the proposed project location, general area and surroundings, and project description. The proposed project location is located at 741 Warrior Drive, Stephens City, Frederick County, VA 22655, at coordinates 39°05’29.821” N, 78°10’52.973” W. The project proposes the construction of a new monopole telecommunications tower and associated equipment within a fenced compound within a 35ft-by-64ft lease area. The proposed tower has an estimated height of 107ft, including all appurtenances. The project will be accessible via a 20ft-wide access and utility easement that extends 200ft northeast from the project area along existing pavement and then 80ft southwest to where the existing pavement intersects with an existing paved access road that intersects with Warrior Drive. The total project area measures approximately 0.18 acres (0.07 hectares). The construction drawings provided by Arcola Towers are included in this attachment. Please refer to Appendix A for Site Plans NT SUBMISSION PACKET - FCC FORM 620 Approved by OMB 3060-1039 See instructions for Public burden estimates Applicant’s Name: Arcola Towers Project Name: Secure Store – Stephens City Project Number: 729238 FCC FORM 620 ATTACHMENT 5. AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS You are required to provide two attachments regarding the Determination of Effect: Areas of Potential Effect and Mitigation of Effect (if applicable). Areas of Potential Effect Guidelines: a. Describe the APE for direct effects and explain how this APE was determined. The APE for direct effects is limited to the area of potential ground disturbance and any property, or any portion thereof, that will be physically altered or destroyed by the Undertaking. On November 24, 2008, the FCC further clarified that the APE-for Direct Effects is limited to the tower or non-tower structure on which the collocation will be mounted as well as the lease area including the access route and utility corridor. The proposed project consists of the construction of a new monopole telecommunications tower and associated equipment within a fenced compound within a 35ft-by-64ft lease area. The proposed tower has an estimated height of 107ft, including all appurtenances. The project will be accessible via a 20ft-wide access and utility easement that extends 200ft northeast from the project area along existing pavement and then 80ft southwest to where the existing pavement intersects with an existing paved access road that intersects with Warrior Drive. The total project area measures approximately 0.18 acres (0.07 hectares). The APE for direct effects consists of the project footprint and a 50-foot buffer. b. Describe the APE for visual effects and explain how this APE was determined. The APE for visual effects is the geographic area in which the Undertaking has the potential to introduce visual elements that diminish or alter the setting, including the landscape, where the setting is a character-defining feature of a historic property that makes it eligible for listing on the National Register. The presumed APE for visual effects for construction of new facilities is the area from which the tower will be visible. Due to the height of the proposed undertaking (107 feet), the presumed APE for visual effects for this project is a 5T0.5-mile radius from the tower site. Mitigation of Effect Guidelines: In the case of where an Adverse Visual Effect or Adverse Direct Effect has been determined you must provide the following: a. Copies of any correspondence and summaries of any oral communication with the SHPO/THPO and any consulting parties. No correspondence with the SHPO or THPO has taken place as of the date of this report. 1. Describe any alternatives that have been considered that might avoid, minimize, or mitigate any adverse effects. Explain the Applicant’s conclusion regarding the feasibility of each alternative. No adverse effects are anticipated as a result of the proposed project.

AREA OF POTENTIAL EFFECTS (CONT.) FOR EACH PROPERTY IDENTIFIED AS A HISTORIC PROPERTY IN THE ONLINE E-106 FORM: Indicate whether the Applicant believes the proposed undertaking would have a) no effect; b) no adverse effect; or, c) an adverse effect. Explain how each such assessment was made. Provide supporting documentation where necessary. A cultural resources records search was conducted on June 21, 2023 by Sara McLaughlin, Senior Architectural Historian of JMT, utilizing the VCRIS Mapviewer—an online database of cultural resources, managed by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (VDHR), which serves as the Virginia State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The results of the cultural resources records search disclosed zero previously identified historic above-ground resources within the 5T0.5-mile APE for Visual Effects which have been listed in, or determined eligible for listing in, the National Register of Historic Places. As a result, a finding of No Historic Properties Present within the APE for Visual Effects is recommended. Based on the results of the background research and field investigation, a finding of No Historic Properties Present within the APE for Direct Effects is recommended. Please see the attached Archaeological Survey Report for additional information.

However, if a proposal for PTC wayside poles falls within a designated exclusion, you need not expect any response and need not pursue any additional process with that Tribal Nation or SHPO. In addition, a particular Tribal Nation or SHPO may also set forth policies or procedures within its details box that exclude from review certain facilities (for example, a statement that it does not review collocations with no ground disturbance; or that indicates that no response within 30 days indicates no interest in participating in pre- construction review).

HISTORIC PROPERTIES DIRECT EFFECTS 1. List all properties within the APE for direct effects. On June 21, 2023, JMT completed a review of the available records as required per Section VI.D.2 of the Federal Communications Commission’s 2004 Nationwide Programmatic Agreement to identify historic properties in the APE for Direct Effects. Based on this review, no Historic Properties were identified within the APE for direct effects. a. Provide the name and address (including U.S. Postal Service ZIP Code) of each property in the APE for direct effects, not listed in part “a” (above), that the Applicant considers to be eligible for listing in the National Register as a result of the Applicant’s research. For each such property, describe how it satisfies the criteria of eligibility (36 C.F.R. Part 63). For each property that was specifically considered and determined not to be eligible, describe why it does not satisfy the criteria of eligibility. The subject property is a paved parking lot surrounded by mature tree growth that has remained unchanged since c. 2010. There are no above-ground structures, objects or buildings present within the APE for Direct Effects as defined above. No portion of the subject property appears to possess any of the characteristics necessary for consideration for listing in the NRHP and it is recommended not eligible. b. Describe the techniques and the methodology, including any field survey, used to identify Historic Properties within the APE for direct effects.1 If no archeological field survey was performed, provide a report substantiating that: i) the depth of previous disturbance exceeds the proposed construction depth (excluding footings and other anchoring mechanisms) by at least 2 feet; or, ii) geomorphological evidence indicates that cultural resource-bearing soils do not occur within the project area or may occur but at depths that exceed 2 feet below the proposed construction depth.2 JMT completed the process outlined in Section VI.D.2 of the FCC’s 2004 NPA to identify above ground historic properties. Please see parts a. and b. above. Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson completed an evaluation of the proposed project location for the likelihood of containing archeological Historic Properties. Please refer to the report in Attachment 5 documenting the findings of this project review by a qualified archaeologist including a description of the techniques and the methodology used to identify Historic Properties within the APE for direct effects. FIELD METHODS The goal of archaeological testing for the project was to determine the presence of any historic or pre-contact archaeological sites or features within the APE. The testing strategy for the Phase I archaeological survey of the APE was determined by the archival research, field observations, and a consideration of the engineering design plans for the project. 1 Pursuant to Section VI.D.2.a. of the Nationwide Agreement, Applicants shall make a reasonable and good faith effort to identify above ground and archeological Historic Properties, including buildings, structures, and historic districts, that lie within the APE for direct effects. Such reasonable and good faith efforts may include a field survey where appropriate. 2 Under Section VI.D.2.d. of the Nationwide Agreement, an archeological field survey is required even if none of these conditions applies, if an Indian tribe or NHO provides evidence that supports a high probability of the presence of intact archeological Historic Properties within the APE for direct effects. NT SUBMISSION PACKET - FCC FORM 620 Approved by OMB 3060-1039 See instructions for Public burden estimates Applicant’s Name: Arcola Towers Project Name: Secure Store – Stephens City Project Number: 729238 FCC FORM 620 The project is located on a paved parking lot and is previously disturbed from the construction of said parking lot and its associated building. Prior construction activities would have likely disturbed any archeological deposits in the APE and would likely have compromised the integrity of any archeological deposits in the area. Due to prior disturbance within the project area, archaeological testing was accomplished through visual inspection via pedestrian walkover of the APE. LABORATORY METHODS AND COLLECTION CURATION No artifacts were recovered by the survey. Accordingly, no curation of artifacts is necessary. All field notes and reference materials will be curated by JMT. A digital and/or physical copy of the report will be retained on file at the SHPO upon acceptance of the final report.

HISTORIC PROPERTIES VISUAL EFFECTS Historic Properties Identified for Visual Effects Guidelines 1.Provide the name and address (including U.S. Postal Service ZIP Code) of each property in the APE for visual effects that is listed in the National Register, has been formally determined eligible for listing by the Keeper of the National Register, or is identified as considered eligible for listing in the records of the SHPO/THPO, pursuant to Section VI.D.1.a. of the Nationwide Agreement. On June 21, 2023, JMT completed a review of the available records as required per Section VI.D.1 of the Federal Communications Commission’s 2004 Nationwide Programmatic Agreement to identify historic properties in the APE for Visual Effects. Based on this review, no Historic Properties were identified within the APE for visual effects. 2.Provide the name and address (including U.S. Postal Service ZIP Code) of each Historic Property in the APE for visual effects, not listed in part “a”, identified through the comments of Indian Tribes, NHOs, local governments, or members of the public. Identify each individual or group whose comments led to the inclusion of a Historic Property in this attachment. For each such property, describe how it satisfies the criteria of eligibility (36 C.F.R. Part 63). As of the date of this report, Trileaf Corporation has not received comments from Indian Tribes, NHOs, local governments, or members of the public that identify Historic Properties in the APE for visual effects that are not listed in the above list of Historic Properties. 3.For any properties listed in the above Historic Properties list, that the Applicant considers no longer eligible for inclusion in the National Register, explain the basis for this recommendation.

In addition, a particular Tribal Nation or SHPO may also set forth policies or procedures within its details box that exclude from review certain facilities (for example, a statement that it does not review collocations with no ground disturbance; or that indicates that no response within 30 days indicates no interest in participating in pre- construction review).

Thus, as described in the Wireless Infrastructure Second Report and Order (2), if you or Commission staff do not receive a statement of interest regarding a particular project from any Tribe or NHO within 15 calendar days of 08/24/2023, your obligations under Section IV of the NPA with respect to these Tribal Nations or NHOs are complete. If a Tribal Nation or NHO responds that it has concerns about a historic property of traditional religious and cultural significance that may be affected by the proposed construction within the 15 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. 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.

The Monacan Indian Nation is a federally recognized sovereign tribe, headquartered on Bear Mountain in Amherst County. Citizens of the Nation are descended from Virginia and North Carolina Eastern Siouan cultural and linguistic groups, and our ancestral territory includes Virginia west of the fall line of the rivers, sections of southeastern West Virginia, and portions of northern North Carolina. At this time, the active Monacan consultation areas include: Virginia: Albemarle, Alleghany, Amherst, Appomattox, Augusta, Bath, Bedford, Bland, Buchanan, Buckingham, Campbell, Carroll, Charlotte, Clarke, Craig, Culpepper, Cumberland, Dickenson, Floyd, Fluvanna, Franklin, Frederick, Giles, Goochland, Grayson, Greene, Halifax, Henry, Highland, Lee, Loudoun, Louisa, Madison, Mecklenburg, Montgomery, Nelson, Orange, Page, Patrick, Pittsylvania, Powhatan, Prince Edward, Pulaski, Rappahannock, Roanoke, Rockbridge, Rockingham, Russell, Scott, Shenandoah, Smyth, Tazewell, Warren, Washington, Wise, and Wythe Counties, and all contiguous cities. West Virginia: Greenbrier, Mercer, Monroe, Pendleton, Pocahontas, and Summers Counties. North Carolina: Alamance, Caswell, Granville, Orange, Person, Rockingham, Vance, and Warren Counties. At this time, the Nation does not wish to actively participate in this consultation project, because: This project is outside our ancestral territory X The project’s impacts are anticipated to be minimal The project is more closely related to _____, which should be contacted to participate in consultation The tribal office does not currently have the capacity to participate in this project Other: However, the Nation requests to be contacted if: · Sites associated with native history may be impacted by this project; · Adverse effects associated with this project are identified; · Human remains are encountered during this project; · Unanticipated native cultural remains are encountered during this project; · Other tribes consulting on this project cease consultation; or · The project size or scope becomes larger or more potentially destructive than currently described. Please do not make any assumptions about future consultation interests based on this decision, as priorities and information may change. We request that you send any future consultation communications in electronic form to Consultation@MonacanNation.com. We appreciate your outreach to the Monacan Indian Nation and look forward to working with you in the future.
