II. NARRATIVE
A. Site Description
Pine Mountain (Antelope) Communication Site is located on Bend·Ft. Rock Ranger
District, Deschutes National Forest, Deschutes County, State of Oregon in NW1/4
Section 2~, T: 20 S. R. 15 E.. Willamette Meridian at approximately Latitude 43 0 48' 40"
North, Longitude 110Q 52' 47" West. The elevation at Pine Mountain (Antelope)
communications site is approximately 6350 feet above mean sea level (msl). The area for
development is approximately 2.0 acres in size. Pine Mountain (Antelope)
Communication Site is road accessible.
This site does not serve a Ranally Metro Area (RMA). The population currently served
currently less than 25,000 and is therefore Zone 9. The population identified for this
Zone is updated annually by the Forest Service, Washington Office, Director of Lands.
and is used to determine the annual rental fee due the Forest Service.
The most senior use at this site is microwave and the site is designated as low power non
broadcast. This site designation was established in an Environmental Assessment and
Decision Notice approved by the Regional Forester in 1983. Deschutes National Forest
Land and Resource Management Plan approved in August 1990 recognized the
designation of the Pine Mountain (Antelope) Communication Site. The maximum power
output for the Pine Mountain (Antelope) Communication Site is based on the maximum
output allowed for two-way radio under the Federal Communications Commission's rules
at Title 47, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 90.
This plan supersedes the Pine Mountain (Antelope) Electronic Site Plan approved June
14,1985.

ANTELOPE AT PINE MT COMMUNICATIONS SITE MANAGEMENT PLAN
B. Existing Site Development
Pine Mountain (Antelope) Communications Site was allocated as an electronic site in
1983 by the Regional Forester. Two communication sites are located in the Pine
Mountain area. The other site is identified as Pine Mountain (Observatory)
Communications Site and is located approximately 1.9 miles southwest of the Antelope
Site.
Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) has operated a communication facility at the
Pine Mountain (Antelope) since the late 1960's. Communication use by BPA was
originally authorized by a Master Agreement signed by the Chief of the Forest Service on
September 14,1966. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOV) was revised on July
19, 1967, February 29, 1969, and again on May, 30,1974. Currently, the Forest Service
is working towards replacing the existing MOU with a special use permit as directed by
national policy.
Charter Communications Inc. operates a facility that was originally issued to Hi-Desert
Microwave Inc. on May 6,1974 and reissued on June 30, 1983. The authorization was
reissued to TCI Cablevision of Oregon on July 19, 1994 and reissued on March 20, 1997.
The lease was assigned to Falcon Cable Systems in approximately 2005. Assignment of
the lease from Falcon Cable Systems to Charter Communications Inc. is pending.
Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) operates a facility that was originally
authorized on September 29,1983 and reissued on February 1, 1994. The current
authorization was issued on July 1, 1996.
Century Link. operates a facility that was originally issued to Telephone Utilities of
Eastern Oregon on July 17, 1989. Ownership of the facilities have changed several times
and included Embarq, CenturyTel and now Century Link. The current authorization was
issued on March 28, 1997.
Pacific Power & Light (PP&L) was originally issued a permit for microwave
communication facility on July 20, 1992. The current authorization was issued on July
16,1996.
Deschutes County Sheriffs Department was authorized to operate a communication
facility on February 2, 2004.
RCC Atlantic dba Verizon Wireless operates a facility that was originally issued to
Central Oregon Cellular One on January 3,1995. The authorization was reissued on July
31, 1996. The authorization was assigned to BMCT Triton, RCC Holdings,and the
current holder is RCC Atlantic dba Verizon Wireless.
On October 12, 2010, New Cingular WIreless dba ATT Mobility was issued a lease for
permanent facilities at the Pine Mountain (Antelope) Communication Site. New Cingular
Wireless dba A TT Mobility was authorized a temporary communication facility on Jan
ANTELOPE AT PINE MT COMMUNICAnONS SITE MANAGEMENT PLAN
10,2011.
See Appendix B for a current list of currently authorized facilities.
C. Objectives
The primary objectives of the Pine Mountain (Antelope) Communications Site
Management Plan are to:
1. Document site management policy. procedures and standards, which are not
already specified in the standard communication site lease.
2. Manage for low power communications uses only. The maximum power output
expressed as ERP is based on the maximum output allowed for two-way radio
under the Federal Communications Commission's rules at Title 47, Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 90. As of the 2003 regulation, that is 500 watts ERP.
Each use must operate at or below the power level authorized by their respective
FCC license as long as it does not exceed the site limitation.
3. No continuously transmitting uses are authorized at this site, excluding
microwave and controller channels used in support of mobile radio equipment
4. All uses must be designed, operated and maintained so as not to physically or
electronically interfere with the senior uses. If new uses deteriorate the
receiving/transmitting operation of existing uses, the new uses may be required
to institute at their expense; additional studies, equipment upgrades, frequency
isolation, or physically separate themselves from the existing uses.
5. Present a program for operation within the site.
6. Help fulfi)] the public need for adequate communication sites.
7. Protect the interests of leaseholders and site users by preserving a safe and an
electronically "clean" environment.
8. Encourage the efficient development and use of space and facilities within the
designated site. subject to the USPS goal to provide the best possible public
service at reasonable cost.
9. Authorize new Tenant andlor Customer uses that can physically and
electronically be accommodated within existing buildings andlor towers.
10. Maintain visual resource objectives by requiring design standards that are
unobtrusive and by utilizing earth tone colors and non-reflective surface material
consistent with the standards in the Land and Resource Management Plan.
11. Amend this Communications Site Plan as necessary to be consistent with future
Forest Land and Resource Management Plans. The Forest Service will provide
ANTELOPE AT PINE MY COMMUNICATIONS SITE MANAGEMENT PLAN
authorization holders with proposed amendments to this plan and will allow a
reasonable period of time for the holders to review and comment on the proposed
changes.
ill. AUTHORITY AND JURISDICTION
A. AuthoOtY
Forest Service authority to authorize and manage communications uses on National
Forest System lands derives from the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976
(43 U.S. C. 1761-1771); Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, part 251, subpart B (36
CPR 251, subpart B); Forest Service Manual (FSM) 2700; and Forest Service Handbook
(FSH) 2709.11, chapter 90.
The Forest Service has jurisdiction over the use and occupancy of National Forest System
(NFS) lands for communications purposes under the National Forest Management Act
(NFMA) of 1976 (16 U.S.C. 1600 et seq.); the Federal Land Policy and Management Act
(FLPMA) of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), and Title 36, Code of FederaL Regulations,
part 251, Subpart B (36 CFR part 251, subpart B).
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has jurisdiction over the use of non
Federal channels of radio and television transmission under licenses granted by the FCC.
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has
jurisdiction over the use of Federal channels of radio transmission under authorizations
granted by the NTIA.
The issuance of an FCC license or NTIA authorization does not authorize the use and
occupancy of NFS lands. A Forest Service special use authorization is required for the
use and occupancy of NFS lands for communications purposes.
The Forest Service has jurisdiction over resolution of conflicts associated with the use
and occupancy ofNFS lands, such as those involving location and re-radiation. The FCC
and NTIA are not responsible for resolving occupancy conflicts associated with the use
and occupancy of NFS lands or the resolution of other conflicts when entities are
operating within the limits of their FCC license or NTIA authorization. However, the
FCC or the NTIA may be useful in assisting in the resolution of interference problems or
other frequency conflicts.

The Forest Service retains the responsibility for issuing and amending authorizing
instruments to Facility Owners and Facility Managers for the authorized improvements. The
issuance of a FCC license (authorization), or frequency assignment, does not authorize
occupancy of National Forest system lands. Granting occupancy and use of National Forest
system lands rest exclusively with the Forest Service. This includes:
1. Amend or modify this site plan as deemed appropriate.
2. Approve new facilities including those constructed within a lease holder's
authorized area.
3. Approve assignment of a communications site lease.
B. Facility Owners and FaclUty Managers Are Responsible for:
1. Complying with the terms and conditions of their communications site
authorization and this site plan.
2. Ensuring that all new facilities, expansions, or improvements are consistent
with the Deschutes National Forests Land and Resource Management Plan,
environmental documentation and decisions affecting the use of this site, and
the provisions of this site plan.
3, May rent building and tower space to tenants and customers without prior
written approval from the Forest Service as long as that tenant or customer use
is an approved communications use as designated in this site plan and does
not interfere with other existing uses at the site.
4. May not place any unreasonable restrictions on potential or existing tenants
and customers.
5. Ensuring that facilities and equiptilentnot coniplyina with Federal. S~;,~.

road #2017 (Pine Mountain Road) and go 3.3 miles; stay left onto FS100 and
go 1.9 miles; stay left onto FS160 and go 1.2 miles to Pine Mountain
(Antelope) communications site. The Pine Mountain (Antelope)
Communications Site is located approximately 26 air miles southeast of Bend
and driving time is approximately 45 minutes.
2. Internal Roads and Parking Areas
Internal roads and parking areas within the communications site are the
responsibility of the site users. Interior roads and parking areas shall be
planned and approved by the authorized officer in conjunction with
establishment of new facilities. Interior roads shall be maintained so as to
allow only one entrance to the site. The intent is to discourage off-road
vehicle use in and around the site.
ANTELOPE AT PINE MT COMMUNICATIONS SITE MANAGEMENT PLAN
3. Road Closures
Forest Service roads are subject to periodic closures to entry during periods of
extreme fue danger. inclement weather. or wetness. Site users may access the
site during these closures if they have prior, written approval from the
authorized officer.
IX. SITE ASSOCIATION AND ADVISORY GROUP
A Site Association may be desirable for the Pine Mountain (Antelope) Communication
Site as issues arise in the future requiring more user coordination. It may also be
desirable to include the communication users on the private land for coordination on the
following common issues. If formed in the future, the Site Association would be
responsible for obtaining access, maintenance and upkeep of internal roads and parking
areas. The Site Association would also be responsible for ensuring cooperation between
users for on-tower access. A Site Safety officer would be identified within the Site
Association. The Site Association would be expected to develop a Radiofrequency
Radiation Plan/Agreement and recommend measures to reduce interference issues (e.g.,
through use of filters).
The goal of the Site Association would also be to maximize the effective use of the site.
The objective of a sanctioned association will be to represent all site users as a group
when dealing with the Bend-Ft. Rock Ranger District Office on matters relating to the
Site administration. The association would be able to work in cooperation with the
Forest Service to identify problems or opportunities and make recommendations to these
entities for any changes in management strategies at the site. The association could also
provide input to these entities regarding the future addition of equipment and facilities at
the site. While the advice and recommendations of the association would not be binding
on these entities, they could use the input for administration of the site. The Forest
Service would be a member of such a group and would help jointly develop the charter
(Le., the ground rules).
