Fact Sheets

Canyon Area for the Environment (CARE)
Tower Hazard and Radiation Exposure Above Tolerance (THREAT)

May 2006 Information Bulletin

Friends and Neighbors - It’s all coming to a head...

Several months ago, the Board of Jefferson Count Commissioners voted 2 to 1 against approving the Lookout Mountain SuperTower based upon their concerns about tower fall. The Broadcasting Syndicate appealed this decision. Last week, Judge Jackson sent the issue back to the Commission Commissioners and directed them to make an explicit decision – either rezoning Lookout Mountain to allow for the SuperTower – or rejecting the proposal and thus effectively prohibiting the new tower. We anticipate the Commission will take its final vote on this issue within the next few weeks.

Over the last several weeks many of us have also been subject to television ads, phone “surveys”, and mailers professing the benefits of the proposed Lookout Mountain SuperTower. But the Broadcasters are bad neighbors, and their facts don’t change. The Broadcasters are bad neighbors. Their ads forgot to tell metro Denver that omit the following facts:

  • “Free” over-the-air high digital TV is only a front that would allow the Syndicate to load the towers with other types of broadcast antennae (radio, communications, etc.). This massive revenue stream is the real reason we hav e been waging this battle for the last nine years.
  • Radiation Levels in our Community are already too high. Last month, in spite of our constant protests to the FCC over the last 9 years, readings corroborated by Jefferson
    County confirmed that radiation on Lookout Mountain were still 125% of the levels permitted by Federal law.
  • With the proposed tower consolidation, the effective radiated power generated by the members of Lake Cedar Group on Lookout Mountain new SuperTower will increase from 732,000 to 9,732,000 watts.
  • Hundreds of homes and families on the mountain and in Golden will sit in the immediate target of these beams.
  • The visual impact on our mountain backdrop will be devastating:
    • The circumference of the tower will increase four-fold and be piggy-backed
      with dozens of other transmission devices and;
    • The tower would be accompanied by a 20,000 square foot utility building.

Industrial structures do not belong in residential neighborhoods. Proven, alternative sites exist!
