Orange County may also be required to procure and a generator with <br />associated fuel tank. <br />800 MHz RF coverage has been predicted from this site, and is shown in Figures 3 <br />through 8, which can be found in Section 2.1.7. <br />The County should consider pursuing use of this tower. <br />August 30, 2013 Page 6 of 51 <br />B <br />7 <br />
