islands,including at a minimum,that area subject to a one percent or greater chance of flooding in any given year." Based on this and FCC guidelines,the 100-year floodplain (one percent chance of flooding in a given year)was utilized for screening of this NEPA item. To identify the potential for the facility to be located in a floodplain, Edge Consulting took the following steps: 1.) Edge Consulting reviewed the site survey prepared for the proposed lease site. The survey stated that the proposed lease site was not located within a floodplain. 2.) Edge Consulting reviewed USGS topographic map,and other physical setting sources,to determine if the subject property is located adjacent to a navigable waterway(may indicate the potential to be located within a floodplain). This review did not reveal any navigable waterways in the vicinity of the proposed lease site. 3.) Edge Consulting reviewed site conditions and did not note anything that would indicate that the area had been flooded,or was prone to flooding. 4.) Edge Consulting reviewed the appropriate FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map for the proposed tower site(550077, Panel 785 of 850). This FEMA map did not indicate the subject site was located within a floodplain. It is the opinion of Edge Consulting that this project is not located within a floodplain. 2.7 FACILITIES THAT INVOLVE A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN SURFACE FEATURES To identify the potential for the facility to involve a significant change in surface features, Edge Consulting took the following steps: 1.) Edge Consulting reviewed site conditions for the potential for impacts to wetland bodies,large areas of forested land,etc. 2.) Edge Consulting reviewed wetland information from the Wisconsin DNR Surface Water online GIS data viewer. No wetland areas are depicted on the subject property or in the immediate vicinity of the proposed tower site. 3.) Edge Consulting reviewed the proposed project for the significance of fill and cutting required compared to the natural landscape. It is the opinion of Edge Consulting that this project does not involve a significant change in surface features. 2.8 ANTENNA TOWERS EQUIPPED WITH HIGH INTENSITY WHITE LIGHTS THAT ARE LOCATED IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD. Edge Consulting asked the project owner if the site would involve high intensity white lights located within a residential neighborhood. The project owner indicated that it would not. 2.9 FACILITIES THAT MAY RESULT IN HUMAN EXPOSURE TO RADIOFREQUENCY RADIATION IN EXCESS OF THE APPLICABLE SAFETY STANDARDS SPECIFIED IN§1.1307(B) It is the responsibility of Magnum Communications,Inc.to ensure that the proposed communications site will comply with appropriate radiation safety standards. 5080 NEPA-Update -6-
