process they identify as you mentioned they identify if there's endangered species like let's say <br /> the Nene or in another case there is concerns about`Ohi`a virus. So, we hire biologists prior to <br /> any activities, we survey the area again, as per recommendations from the USFWS and DLNR <br /> Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) for construction work and this is completed prior to <br /> our geotechnical work or any other time we're talking trees. Then, as part of the construction <br /> process the crews are required per condition to have a briefing on biological security awareness. <br /> So that if a Nene is spotted in the area during construction, construction will stop, and they will <br /> notify biologists and will notify appropriate agencies and stop work if that occurs. Because yes <br /> of course nobody wants to have an interaction with the Nene that's in the area. It would be <br /> typical of any other construction projects in that area. <br /> AGUINALDO: Okay, thank you. <br /> TOMLINSON: You're welcome. <br /> REPLOGLE: Are there any further questions for Andrew? <br /> CLARKSON: Yes, I have a couple of questions for Mr. Tomlinson. I know that co-location is <br /> the second choice of every of a cell company because they always have to prepare, and the co- <br /> locator has to put their antennas typically below the original builders' antennas. Therefore, they <br /> get considerably less coverage and so if we are going to promote co-location, we need to make <br /> these towers as high as possible without being extremely obtrusive. I know that coverage goes <br /> exponentially with height. So, my first question is why only a 100 feet rather than say a <br /> hundred-forty (140) or a hundred-twenty (120) and well I'll stop there that's the first question. <br /> TOMLINSON: So, as part of our analysis for the site it was determined that this was the height <br /> that would fill our coverage objectives for target area. Is the short answer so that we look at our <br /> coverage objectives from a RF perspective and what's demanded, and this is what would be the <br /> height that is needed for AT & T. <br /> CLARKSON: What would be your reaction be if we asked you to locate your antennas at <br /> exactly the same height, they are not to be located but build a tower 20 feet higher so a co-locator <br /> could build above you and also get good broadcast area. <br /> TOMLINSON: In terms of design for future co-locations it's difficult to ascertain what a co- <br /> locator would require at this point. So, they quite frequently actually carriers co-locate at the <br /> second level and sometimes the third level below towers and as Jeff mentioned and we discussed <br /> earlier a tower extension could be added on this tower without having to go at approximately 20 <br /> feet without having to go through the Use permit amendment. So, there is capability to expand <br /> the tower 20 feet if it was required by a co-locator but that is yet to be determined because we <br /> wouldn't know exactly what their requirements are at this point. <br /> CLARKSON: Thank you. <br /> REPLOGLE: Any other questions? Thank you, Andrew. <br /> EXHIBIT C <br /> 16 <br />
