Dear Mr. Waller:
On
On December 4, 2017, I testified before the Garfield County Board of County
Commissioners regarding Land Use Change Application LIPA-08-17-8569, also known
as Hatch Telecommunication Towers - Grass Mesa Tower.
My testimony on December 4 was that I believed the Broadcast FM Translators
proposed to be installed on the tower in question could be installed on a nearby tower
which Colorado West Broadcasting owns. After significant discussion, I offered to retract
my objection to the Land Use Change if I was convinced otherwise by MBC Grand
Engineer, Vala Berry. When I spoke with Ms. Berry, she pointed out something that I
had not considered up to that point, which I will attempt to communicate to you in this
letter.
First, it is important to explain the difference between primary stations and
translators. A primary station is the station that originates programming. A translator
broadcasts that same signal on a different frequency than the primary station. There are
two types of FM Translators, Fill -In and Non -Fill -In. A majority of the translators
proposed by the applicant, which I referenced in my testimony on December 4 are Non -
Fill -In Translators. (Specifically, K262CB, K271 BA and K276A1.) The reason these are
Non -Fill -In Translators is because they are outside the main coverage area of the
primary stations (referred to as the 60dBu contour, a standardized theoretical
measurement of the signal strength of an FM station).
As you can read in my attachment from the FCC, there are two very specific
rules that apply to Non -Fill -In Translators; They must be fed "over the air." (That is, they
must receive their signal from an FM signal or from a primary AM station.) And, they
cannot be owned and operated by the Licensee of the primary station. It is the former
requirement that I had not considered when I prepared my testimony for the December
4 meeting. Due to the distance from the primary transmitting location in Grand Junction,
it will be difficult under any circumstance to receive the signal over the air.
Other than distance, one of the biggest impacts to a received FM signal is a
strong transmitted signal nearby. FM translators by their very definition create this type
of interference because they are transmitting a strong signal very near the signal that is
being received. The most effective way to mitigate this interference is to separate the
receive and transmit antennas.
While there is no formula to determine the minimum separation required between
transmit and receive antennas in order to receive a clean over the air signal, I believe
that MBC Grand's assessment is correct; our 52 -foot tower on Grass Mesa would not
provide enough vertical separation, especially if they intend to increase their power
further from what has already been applied for. I could not locate additional filings by
MBC Grand, or Professional Antenna, Tower and Translator Service (the actual
licensee of the translators I mention above).
Finally, I do not take sworn testimony lightly. It is very important to me that it be
known that my testimony on December 4 was given in good faith and was, based on my
knowledge and belief at the time and to that end, I have provided a number of
documents which back up that position. Without the additional knowledge and
understanding of what a "Non -Fill -In Translator" is, I am hopeful that you can
understand why I would come to the conclusions I did initially and then later withdraw
the objection.
Sincerely,
abe Chenoweth
President
Non -Fill -In Translators
The majority of FM translator stations fall into this category.
Service contour requirements. The service contour for a non -fill-in translator station may extend outside the
primary station's service contour or, in some cases, lie wholly outside it.
Ownership and financial support. In general, commercial primary stations and anyone associated with a
commercial primary station may neither own nor provide direct or indirect support to non -fill-in translator stations,
both before and after the translator commences operation. See 47 CFR Section 74.1232(d). However, in order to
facilitate service to white (or unserved) areas, the Commission is favorably disposed toward waiver of this rule to
permit a commercial primary station to support its own translator, or an independently owned translator, which
provides service to these unserved areas. The primary commercial FM station may provide "technical support" to
the independent translator station, which is defined as:
actual services provided by the primary station's technical staff or compensation for the time and services
provided by independent engineering personnel. Such support does not include the supply of equipment or
direct funding for the translator's discretionary use. We also reiterate that technical assistance by the primary
station should occur after the issuance of the translator's construction permit or license in order to meet
expenses incurred by installing, repairing, or making adjustments to equipment. (Footnotes omitted)
Memorandum Opinion and Order in MM Docket 88-140 (PDF), 8 FCC Rcd 5093, 5096 at Paragraph 20. See
also 47 CFR Sections 74.1232(d) and (e).
For the purposes of translator station applications, "white area" is defined as any area outside the coverage area
of any full service aural service (AM as well as FM). Paragraph 23, Report and Order in Docket 88-140, 5 FCC Rcd
at 7216 (1990). Where a translator provides both fill-in service and white area service, the procedures applicable
to "white area" service should be followed. A showing of the "white area" must be presented in the application with
a request for waiver of the ownership requirement. When locating the "white area" boundaries, the service
contours for FM stations shall be predicted using the standard method in 47 CFR Section 73.313.
If a non -fill-in translator is independently owned, the owner must secure the written permission of the primary
station to rebroadcast its programming before commencing operation. This is a statutory requirement. See 47
CFR Section 74.1284(b); see also 47 U.S.C. Section 325(a) and Footnote 52 of the Report and Order in MM
Docket 88-140, 5 FCC Rcd 7212, 7245 (1990).
Signal delivery. Non -fill-in translators relaying commercial FM stations must receive the signal off the air, unless a
waiver has been granted to feed a "white area" translator by other terrestrial means. A showing of the "white area"
must be presented in the application for construction permit, requesting waiver of the signal delivery requirement.
Noncommercial educational non -fill-in translators operating on Channels 201 through 220 that are owned by the
licensee of the primary noncommercial educational FM translator station may use alternate means to receive the
primary FM station's signal. Non -fill-in noncommercial educational translators on Channels 221 through 300 are
prohibited from any alternative methods of signal delivery, including programming feeds by satellite. See47 CFR
Section 74.1231(b).
FM Translators and Boosters. (2017, July 06). Retrieved December 08, 2017,
from https://www.fcc.gov/media/radio/fm-translators-and-boosters
Loss of primary station's signal. The translator must be set up to go off the air if the main station's signal is
lost. See 47 CFR Sections 74.1234(a)(2) and 74.1263(b).
Special note for commercial non -fill-in translator stations: The Commission may terminate the operation of a
non -fill-in translator station at any time if the circumstances in the community or area have changed such that its
application would have been denied if those circumstances had existed at the time of its filing. The notice of
termination, when issued, will list a date at least 60 days from the notice date by which operations must be
terminated. However, notices of termination pursuant to 47 CFR Section 74.1232(h) are rare in practice.

SUBJECT: Additional information for Land Use Change Permit - Limited Impact Review for a
Telecommunication Facility– David and Roslyn Hatch
SUMMARY: The Joint Garfield County/Mesa County Broadband Needs Assessment and Study
included an inventory of the existing telecommunication towers in Garfield County. That information is
being provided to the public record for consideration.
BACKGROUND: The Board is considering Land Use Change Permit - Limited Impact Review for a
Telecommunication Facility – David and Roslyn Hatch. That application was continued from the
December4, 2017 meeting.
DISCUSSION: An inventory of existing telecommunication towers exists as a component of the Joint
Garfield County/Mesa County Broadband Needs Assessment Study and is being provided as additional
information to the Board of County Commissioners. On the attached information, the towers are
numbered 1 through 45. The towers in the Rifle vicinity are towers 13 through 23C.
RECOMMENDATION: There is no recommendation, this information is being introduced as an
additional exhibit for the public record.
ACTION REQUIRED: This item is for informational purposes only.
Attached please see:

2. Figure 1: Map of Overall Existing Antenna Locations
3. Description of Individual Towers by Name and Number including Towers 1 through 45
4. Spreadsheet Description of Towers 1 through 45
Section 6: Wireless Tower
Assessments and Plan
A Wireless Tower Assessment, Radio Frequency Wireless Plan and Analysis was conducted by
NEO and its consultants for Garfield County. Mesa County and the City of Grand Junction
conducted a separate wireless tower assessment and plan. The Mesa County/Grand Junction
plan can be found at http://www.gjcity.org/business-and-economic-development/wireless-
master-plan/.
This plan ("Wireless Plan") is intended to be used as a general planning tool for consideration
for wireless broadband deployment in Garfield County. For purposes of this Wireless Plan, a
base station and tower are defined as follows:
Base Station - Equipment and non -tower supporting structure at a fixed location that enables
wireless telecommunications between user equipment and a communications network.
Examples include transmission equipment mounted on a rooftop, water tank, silo or other
above ground structure other than a tower. The term does not encompass a tower as defined
herein or any equipment associated with a tower. "Base Station" includes, but is not limited to:
• Any structure other than a tower that supports or houses radio transceivers,
antennas, coaxial or fiber optic cable, regular and back-up power supplies, and
comparable equipment, regardless of technological configuration; and
• Equipment associated with wireless telecommunications services such as private,
broadcast, and public safety services, as well as unlicensed wireless services and
fixed wireless services such as microwave backhaul and broadband.
Tower- Any support structure built for the primary purpose of supporting antennas and
associated facilities for commercial, private, broadcast, microwave, broadband, public, public
safety, licensed or unlicensed, and/or fixed or wireless services. A tower may be concealed or
non -concealed. Non -concealed towers include:
• Guyed - A style of tower consisting of a single truss assembly composed of sections
with bracing incorporated. The sections are attached to each other, and the
assembly is attached to a foundation and supported by a series of wires that are
connected to anchors placed in the ground or on a building.
• Lattice - A self-supporting tapered style of tower that consists of vertical and
horizontal supports with multiple legs and cross bracing, and metal crossed strips
or bars to support antennas. This type of tower is designed to support itself without
the use of guy wires or other stabilization devices.
42
• Monopole - A style of freestanding tower consisting of a single shaft usually
composed of two (2) or more hollow sections that are in turn attached to a
foundation. This type of tower is designed to support itself without the use of guy
wires or other stabilization devices. These facilities are mounted to a foundation
that rests on or in the ground or on a building's roof. All feed lines shall be
installed within the shaft of the structure.
This analysis began by identifying and assessing existing towers and base stations used for
wireless communications including, but not limited to: public safety, microwave, personal
wireless service facilities (PWSF), broadband and broadcast facilities. Visiting all known and
accessible towers and base stations aids in data collection regarding ownership, equipment and
use of the facility by owners and tenants. Theoretical propagation maps based on the
assessment data are developed to identify gaps in wireless broadband coverage and solutions
are provided to address these coverage gaps.
This analysis serves as an illustrative planning tool and guide for developing broadband
deployment policies for future infrastructure and identifies county -owned and other public
properties that can be part of network deployment solutions for providing wireless broadband.
This analysis can help establish policy for minimizing the future number of telecommunication
facilities while maximizing network coverage objectives from as few new sites as possible.
Existing Wireless Facility Locations
Some of the towers within Garfield and Mesa Counties are located on Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) or on Forest Service land. Service providers who responded to the Request
for Information indicated wanting to use these towers to expand their services. The application
process to use towers on Forest Service land is often a 3- to 5 -year process and therefore, is often
seen as an obstacle in improving broadband services. Having the elected officials and County
staff meet with local Forest Service representatives to streamline this process could help the
existing providers expand their wireless reach. Many of the service providers stated they
would upgrade their wireless equipment to accommodate higher broadband speeds.
CityScape assessed all known wireless communication facilities which consisted of existing
tower and base station locations throughout the County to identify the following: 1) location of
existing telecommunications facilities currently within and just outside the County; 2) existing
tenants on the towers and base stations; and 3) availability of potential collocations on the
existing structures.
43
The wireless infrastructure assessment process identified forty-five (45) existing wireless
telecommunication sites with a total of seventy-eight (78) towers and base stations within the
County. Eight (8) of the sites contain multiple towers which is why the number of facilities
exceeds the total number of sites.
CityScape was unable to access nine (9) locations due to locked gates, private property
restrictions, or inadequate weather conditions and therefore some structures do not have site
specific photos. Four (4) of the nine (9) locations have multiple towers at the site which could be
seen from either the road or aerial photography. Twenty (20) of the facilities assessed have no
identification of ownership or emergency contact information posted on the infrastructure
making identification of ownership and tenants arduous. CityScape recommends contacting
the local Bureau of Land Management and United States Forest Service offices to inquire about
these towers since most of the unidentified towers are on those properties.
Table 1 provides a summary of the total number of types of antenna mounting structures found
throughout the County as of November 18, 2016. Table 2 summarizes the known height of the
infrastructure.

Table 2: Tower Infrastructure Height Summary
Most network service providers do not own the antenna mounting structure on which they
attach their equipment. Separate companies typically construct and own the monopole, lattice
or guyed tower and market that tower for lease space to the service providers. A service
provider may also contract with a tower owner to obtain approval to construct a tower in a
particular location and once the facility is constructed the service provider will then lease space
from the tower owner on the newly constructed tower. There are currently four primary tower
companies in the County who own and lease vertical real estate to the service providers:
American Tower Corporation, Crown Castle International, SBA Communications Corporation
and Vertical Bridge.
Table 3 identifies the ownership of the infrastructure at the sites. The total number of sites
listed is eighty (80), two (2) more that the seventy-eight (78) total facility locations because while
CityScape was unable to access some of the sites the research indicated ownership of the towers
and some of those locations have multiple towers. For example, Site number 25 could not be
accessed, however research indicates that Garfield County and SBA each have towers at that
location. Therefore, this location has only one site number because access could not be made for
verification.
