MAINTENANCE PROGRAM The proposed facility will be unmanned and will not require the use of services such as water, sewer, or police. Electric power and telephone services are the only necessary utilities. Local utility companies will assist in extending services to the proposed location. After construction is complete, the site will be visited once or twice a month for routine maintenance. In addition, each facility is monitored 24 hours a day, electronically for intrusion and environmental disruption. The facility will also contain a small sign identifying a 1-800 number to call in case of an emergency (manned 24 hours a day by Verizon employees) and identifying it as a Verizon facility. Verizon Wireless will be in compliance with all FCC regulations regarding signage at the facility. ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS The proposed facility will not result in significant impacts to the environment or to the area in which it is located. The facility produces no smoke, odors, refuse and minimal noise (AC units on shelter). It does not present a safety hazard, and there is little traffic usage (typically one to two cars per month.) Operation of the facility will not conflict with other existing uses in the area. Construction will result in minimal disturbance to the surrounding area. The project should be considered exempt under the California Environmental Quality Control Act (CEQA) under Section 15303, New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures. Class 3 consists of construction and location of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures; installation of small new equipment and facilities in small structures. The United States Congress adopted "The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969" (NEPA) which requires all government agencies to take into account the potential environmental impact of their actions. The agencies must consider whether their actions significantly affect "the quality of the human environment." To implement this mandate with respect to the Telecommunications Act, the Federal Communications Commission has adopted rules covering NEPA and licensing and approving facilities and operations under its jurisdictions. The rules adopted are codified in the Code of Federal Regulations, Part I,Subpart I, of the FCC Rules and Regulations.
