r Verizon routinely reviews proposed antenna facilities for compliance with the Federal Communications Commissions ("FCC's') environmental protection ("NEPA") rules set forth at 47 C.F.R. Sections 1.1301 to 1.1319. In those cases where Verizon performs a NEPA review and discovers that the proposed construction would pose a significant environmental impact to any environmental sensitivity governed by the NEPA rules, Verizon's policy is to consult the appropriate environmental agency, and if necessary, file an environmental assessment with the FCC. Upon grant of the environmental assessment, and upon grant of the zoning application and any other required approvals;Verizon will proceed with the construction of the antenna facility. HEALTH EFFECTS The proposed Verizon facility falls within all state and federal regulations for emissions of non-ionized radiation emissions. The 1996 Federal Telecommunications Act prohibits local jurisdictions from denying a wireless telecommunications facility on the basis of Radio Frequency Radiation (RF) emissions, so long as such facilities meet or exceed the FCC's standards for such emissions. While the Telecommunications Act prohibits local jurisdictions from imposing more stringent standards than those accepted by the FCC, it does not preclude local jurisdictions from requiring a finding of compliance. FAA REGULATIONS Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules require that the location and height of proposed facilities be reviewed by the FAA to prevent interference with the operations of nearby airports. The FAA has jurisdiction over proposed facilities that exceed 200 feet in height, as well as smaller towers and facilities located within 20,000 feet of a major airport (serving commercial and/or military aircraft) and 10,000 feet of a general aviation airport (serving small aircraft). Verizon Wireless will be in full compliance with all FAA requirements. COLLOCATION Verizon will work with any carriers who wish to collocate at this site.
