Instructions for completing Application for Access Permit (CDOT Form #137), January 2010 Page 1 3. Address of Property to be Served: Provide if property to be served has an official street address. If the access is a public road, note the name (or future name) of the road. 4. Legal Description of Property: Fill in this item to the extent it applies. This information is available at your local County Courthouse, or on your ownership deed(s). A copy of the deed may be required as part of this application in some situations. To determine applicability, check with the CDOT's Regional Access Manager or issuing authority staff. 5. State Highway: Provide the State Highway number from which the access is requested. 6. Highway Side: Mark the appropriate box to indicate what side of the highway the requested access is located. 7. Access Mile Point: Without complete information, we may not be able to locate the proposed access. To obtain the distance in feet, drive the length between the mile point and the proposed access, rounding the distance on the odometer to the nearest tenth of a mile; multiply the distance by 5,280 feet to obtain the number of feet from the mile point. Then enter the direction (i.e. north, south, east, west) from the mile point to the proposed access. Finally, enter the mile point number. It is helpful in rural or undeveloped areas if some flagging is tied to the right-of-way fence at the desired location of the access. Also, if there is a cross street or road close to the proposed access, note the distance in feet (using the same procedures noted above) from that cross street or road. 8. Access Construction Date: Fill in the date on which construction of the access is planned to begin. 9. Access Request: Mark items that apply. More than one item may be checked. 10. Existing property use: Describe how the property is currently being used. For example, common uses are Single Family Residential, Commercial or Agricultural. 11. Existing Access: Does the property have any other legal alternatives to reach a public road other than the access requested in this application? Note the access permit number(s) for any existing state highway access point(s) along with their issue date(s). If there are no existing access point(s), mark the "no" box. 12. Adjacent Property: Please mark the appropriate box.

Access Use: List the land uses and square footage of the site as it will be when it is fully developed. The planned land uses as they will be when the site is fully developed are used to project the amount of traffic that the site will generate, peak hour traffic levels and the type of vehicles that can be expected as a result of the planned land uses. There may be exceptional circumstances that would allow phased installation of access requirements. This is at the discretion of the CDOT Regional Access Unit or issuing authority staff. 16. Estimated Traffic Count: Provide a reasonable estimate of the traffic volume expected to use the access. Note the type of vehicles that will use the access along with the volume (number of vehicles in and out at either the peak hour or average daily rates) for each type of vehicle. A vehicle leaving the property and then returning counts as two trips. If 40 customers are expected to visit the business daily, there would be 80 trips in addition to the trips made by all employees and other visitors (such as delivery and trash removal vehicles). If the PDF on-line version of this application is being used, the fields for each type of vehicle will automatically be added together to populate the last field on the page. 17. Documents and Plans: The CDOT Regional Access Manager or issuing authority staff will determine which of these items must be provided to make the application complete. Incomplete applications will not be accepted.

TOWER ENGINEERING PROFESSIONALS, INC. Print Name: George T. Swearingen, III Date: December 16, 24 4 Si nature: S The following provides additional information concerning each item on the checklist. 1. Designated Wilderness Areas — Based on a review of the National Wilderness Institute Map of Wilderness Areas, Wild & Scenic Rivers, National Natural Landmarks and UN Biosphere Reserves, dated 1995, and the Wilderness.net - U.S. National Wilderness Preservation System Map, the proposed tower site is not located within an officially designated wilderness area. 2. Designated Wildlife Preserves — Based on a review of the US Fish and Wildlife Service: National Wildlife Refuge System Map, dated September 30, 2004, the proposed tower site is not located within an officially designated wildlife preserve. 3A. Listed Threatened or Endangered Species or Designated Critical Habitats — Based on a review of the listed threatened and endangered species within Garfield County, Colorado, as obtained from the USFWS Official Species List — Consultation Tracking # 06E24100 -2015 -SLI -0002 (dated 10/3/14), correspondence with the USFWS — Western Colorado Ecological Services Field Office and Colorado Parks & Wildlife, and an on-site investigation, it is the opinion of TEP that the proposed communications tower will have "no effect" on federally listed threatened or endangered species or their designated critical habitats. The proposed action area is located near Colorado Highway 13 within an undeveloped area that does not contain suitable, preferred, or critical habitat for any of the threatened or endangered species listed on the aforementioned USFWS Official Species List. Per a voicemail from Mr. Terry Ireland of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service — Western Colorado Ecological Services Field Office on 12/16/14, the proposed action will not consist of impacts significant enough to warrant concern by the Service and the project is "clear to go ahead." Additionally, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife response states that "the proposed tower site does not contain any known critical habitat types, nor does it provide habitat for any threatened or endangered species." Therefore, due to the minimal amount of disturbance associated with the proposed action, the proximity to existing sources of human disturbance, and the lack of suitable, preferred, or critical habitat for any of the listed species in the vicinity of the proposed action area, it is the opinion of TEP that the proposed tower will have "no effect" on federally listed threatened or endangered species or their critical habitats. 3B. Proposed Threatened or Endangered Species or Proposed Critical Habitats — Based on a review of the listed threatened and endangered species within Garfield County, Colorado, as obtained from the USFWS Official Species List — Consultation Tracking # 06E24100 -2015 -SLI -0002 (dated 10/3/14), there are no proposed threatened or endangered species in Garfield County; however, there is proposed critical habitat for the yellow -billed cuckoo (Coccyzus americanus). According to review of the pertinent maps available from the USFWS, the proposed action area is not located in the vicinity of any proposed critical habitat for the species. Therefore, it is the opinion of TEP that the proposed action will not likely jeopardize the continued existence of any proposed endangered or threatened species and will not likely result in the destruction or adverse modification of proposed critical habitats. 4. Historical Places — Based on the results of our coordination with History Colorado — Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (CO-OAHP), the proposed tower will have "no adverse effect" on properties listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places within the FCC designated 0.5 -mile radius area of potential effect (APE). TEP also provided written correspondence to Garfield County Community Development, the City of Rifle Certified Local Government (CLG), Rifle Creek Historic Preservation, and the Frontier Historical Society on 11/12/14. Further, due to the FCC - designated 0.5 -mile visual effects APE extending into Rio Blanco County, TEP also provided written correspondence to the Rio Blanco Planning Department and the Rio Blanco Historic Preservation Advisory Board on 11/12/14. No comments regarding historic properties have been received to date. 5. Indian Religious Sites — Based upon a review of available information obtained from, the Bureau of Indian Affairs -Indian Reservations in the Continental United States, dated 5/96, and the responses to the FCC - Tower Construction Notification ID #114622, filed 7/24/14, no known Indian religious sites will be affected by the proposed tower site. 6. Floodplains — Based on a review of the floodplain map of the area, FIRM Index No. 0802051ND0A, dated 8/2/06 of Garfield County, CO, the proposed communications tower site is located on an unprinted panel (0802050550B) that is designated as being located within Zone D, areas of possible but undetermined flood hazards. According to the USGS 7.5 -minute Rio Blanco, CO topographic quadrangle, the proposed facility is located at least approximately 550 -ft west and 60 -ft up -gradient of the nearest mapped surface water feature, an unnamed tributary of Government Creek. Additionally, according to the USDA-NRCS Web Soil Survey of the site, the soil of the area is not identified as occurring in floodplains and has no listed frequency of ponding or flooding. Therefore, it is the opinion of TEP that the proposed facility is not located within a 100 -year floodplain. 7. Surface Features — Based on our on-site investigation and a review of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory map of the area and the USGS 7.5 -minute Rio Blanco, NM topographic quadrangle, the proposed tower is not anticipated to result in a significant change or modification to surface features such as fill in jurisdictional wetlands, deforestation, or water diversion. 8. Zoning/High Intensity White Lights — The proposed tower will be 150 -ft AGL (160 -ft with appurtenances) and the use of high intensity white lights should not be necessary. According to FAA Aeronautical Study No. (ASN) 2014-ANM-2679-OE, the proposed tower has been determined to be of no hazard to air navigation and marking and lighting are not necessary for aviation safety. Therefore, the proposed tower is anticipated to be an unlit structure. 9A. Radio Frequency Emissions — Based on the specified elevation of the proposed antennas (>10 meters) and because the site will be located within a restricted area, no further study concerning radio frequency emissions is required.

This investigation was performed in general accordance with our proposal dated June 11, 2015. Our work consisted of subsurface exploration, laboratory testing, engineering analyses and preparation of this report. This report includes our recommendations relating to the geotechnical aspects of the project's design and construction. The conclusions and recommendations stated in this report are based on the subsurface conditions found at the location of our exploratory boring at the time our exploration was performed. Our findings, conclusions, and recommendations should not be extrapolated to other areas or used for other projects without our prior review. Furthermore, they should not be used if the site has been altered without Martinez Associates' prior review to determine if these recommendations remain valid. Project Description: As currently planned, the site construction will include a monopole cellular transmission tower with the support equipment cabinets being mounted on the tower foundation. The proposed monopole tower will be approximately 150 feet in height and will be supported on a 16 by 16 foot mat foundation. Maximum vertical loading at the base of the tower are anticipated to be in the range of 6 to 30 kips, the maximum lateral force will be 6 to 40 kips and maximum overturning moment will range from 4,500 to 12,000 inch -kips. We understand vertical movement of the tower is not critical. Purpose and Scope: The purpose of our investigation was to explore and evaluate subsurface conditions at the tower location and, based on the conditions found, develop recommendations relating to the geotechnical aspects of project design and construction. The conclusions and recommendations in this report are based on analysis of the data from our field exploration and laboratory tests, and on our experience with similar soil and geologic conditions in the area. Martinez Associates' scope of services included: • The drilling of an exploratory boring at the proposed tower location on the property. The tower location was provided by Commnet Wireless. Martinez Associates, Inc. 14828 West 6th Avenue, Unit 9B, Golden, CO 80401 1 Phone: 303.459.2216 1 Fax: 303.482.2230 1 www.martineztesting.com Commnet Wireless Martinez Blanco Hill rower Site File No. 15-0066 Associates June 30, 2015 Pape 2 • Laboratory testing of selected samples obtained during the field exploration to evaluate relevant physical and engineering properties of the soil. ■ Evaluation and engineering analysis of the field and laboratory data to develop our geotechnical engineering conclusions and recommendations. ■ Preparation of this report, which includes a description of the proposed project, a description of the subsurface site conditions found during our investigation, our conclusions and recommendations as to foundation design and related geotechnical issues, and attachments which summarize our field and laboratory investigations. Laboratory tests were performed on selected soil and bedrock samples to estimate their relative engineering properties. The following tests were performed in general accordance with locally recognized standards: Description and Identification of Soils (Visual -Manual Procedure) Moisture Determination Unit Weight One Dimensional Swell -Settlement Water Soluble Sulfates Resistivity pH Results of the laboratory tests are shown on the boring report and laboratory summary sheets attached. Subsurface Conditions: As presented on the boring report, interlayered sandy clay and clayey sand was encountered from the surface of the site to the maximum depth of exploration. No bedrock was encountered on the site to the maximum depth of exploration. Field penetration data indicates that the clay soils were very stiff in consistency and the sand soils were medium dense in relative density. Laboratory test results indicate that the near surface clay soils have a low expansive potential at in-situ moisture contents. Groundwater was not observed in the test boring at the time of field exploration, nor when checked immediately after drilling. These observations represent only current groundwater conditions, and may not be indicative of other times, or at other locations. Groundwater levels should be expected to fluctuate with varying seasonal and weather conditions. Tower Foundation: As presently planned, the proposed monopole tower will be supported on a mat foundation system. The mat/footing is proposed to be about 16 feet by 16 feet and about 5 feet thick, depending on the results of the geotechnical investigation. Based on the general footing configuration, we estimate the mat/footing may be designed for a maximum bearing pressure of 5,000 pounds per square foot (psf). The design bearing pressure applies to dead loads plus design live load conditions. The design bearing pressure may be increased by 1/3 or as allowed by local code when considering total loads that include wind or seismic conditions. Footings should be placed a minimum of 36 inches below finished grade for frost protection and to provide confinement for the bearing soils. lla Iti n ez Blanco Wireless Nill Tower Site Associates File No. 15.006E June 30, 201. Page! If unsuitable bearing soils are encountered in the footing excavation, the excavation should be extended deeper to suitable soils. The footing could be extended to bear directly on the deeper soils or the excavation backfilled with engineered fill or lean concrete backfill placed in the excavation. For lateral load and overturning design of footing pads, an equivalent fluid pressure of 275 psf/ft is recommended for materials along the footing above any free water surface. For footing pads, a coefficient of base friction of 0.35 can be used for resistance of lateral loads. The passive pressures and coefficient of base friction are ultimate values; therefore, an appropriate factor of safety should be applied in the design. Foundation excavations should be observed by the geotechnical engineer. If the soil conditions encountered differ significantly from those presented in this report, supplemental recommendations will be required. Seismic Considerations: Based upon the nature of the subsurface materials, a Site Class D should be used for the design of the structure for the proposed project (2012 International Building Code, Section1613.3.2). The project site is located in seismic area with a mapped maximum short period (S5) and 1 -second period (Si) ground motion, respectively, of 0.276g and 0.076g as indicated by the US Geologic Survey design maps summary report for the 2012 International Building Code. The site coefficients, Fa and F,,, for the same periods are 1.6 and 2.4, respectively. Foundation Concrete: The concentration of water-soluble sulfates measured in the laboratory on the shallow sample was 0.007 percent. This concentration of water-soluble sulfates represents a Class 0 degree of sulfate attack on concrete exposed to these geologic materials. The degree of attack is based on a range of Class 0 (negligible) to Class 3 (very severe) as described in the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Standard 201.2R, "Guide to Durable Concrete. Based on these sulfate tests, the soils present a very low potential for sulfate attack on concrete. Therefore, sulfate resistant concrete mix designs are not required per ACI. Corrosion Potential: The pH and electrical resistivity was determined for a selected sample. Test results measured a pH value of 7.4 (considered slightly basic). The minimum resistivity measurement was 1368 ohm -centimeters. A qualified corrosion engineer should review this data to determine the appropriate level of corrosion protection. Additional Services and Limitations: In most cases, other services beyond completion of a geotechnical report are necessary or desirable to complete a project satisfactorily. It also sometimes happens that, while performing our services, we discover conditions or circumstances that require the performance of additional work that was not anticipated when the geotechnical report was written. Martinez Associates offers a range of environmental, geological, geotechnical, and construction services to suit the varying needs of our clients. This section outlines some of those services that may pertain to this project. Martinez Associates will be happy to submit a proposal for performing any such services upon request. The recommendations in this report depend on the assumption that an adequate program of testing and observation will be made during construction to verify compliance with our recommendations. These tests and observations may include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following: Martinez Associates • Observations and density testing during site preparation and earthwork, • Observation of foundation excavations and foundation installation, • Observation and testing of construction materials, and • Consultation as may be required during construction. Commnet Wireless Manta Hill Tower Site File No. 15-0065 lune 30,'2015 Page 4 Adequate testing and observation is essential to successful and economical completion of a construction project. Testing and observation allows us to verify that our recommendations are being followed. They also make it possible to identify new or changed conditions that may require modifying those recommendations. Construction testing and observation should be scheduled in advance so that our personnel can plan to be available for the work. For us to understand the scope of construction, we should be provided with a set of project plans and specifications at the time our work is first scheduled. The recommendations in this report are based on our field observations, laboratory testing, and our present understanding of the proposed construction. It is possible that subsurface conditions can vary beyond the point explored. If the conditions found during construction differ from those described in this report, please notify us immediately so that we can review our report in light of those conditions and provide supplemental recommendations as necessary. We should also review this report if the scope of the proposed construction, including the proposed loads or structure locations, changes from that described in this report. Martinez Associates has prepared this report for the exclusive use of Commnet Wireless for the proposed tower site in Rifle, Colorado. This report was prepared in substantial accordance with the generally accepted standards of practice for geotechnical engineering as exist in the site area at the time of our investigation. No warranty is expressed or implied. The recommendations in this report are based on the assumption that Martinez Associates will conduct an adequate program of construction testing and observation to evaluate compliance with our recommendations.
