New Results from CSU published in October edition of the Journal of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
www.joem.org/

Background. The Colorado Department of Health 1999 & 2004 audits of the number of brain and central nervous system tumors in residents closest to Lookout Mountain broadcast towers found statistically significant tumor elevations in the type of tumors linked to radiofrequency exposure in workers and that every tumor victim was in direct line of sight to TV/FM towers. Because of this, Colorado State University and the University of Washington began studies on the effect of the Lookout Mountain broadcast tower radiation on 300 Lookout Mountain Residents several years ago. Many Paradise Hills residents participated. Several papers have been written on the results.

Amounts of RF. The first paper details the amounts of radiation. “Radio frequency nonionizing radiation in a community exposed to radio and television broadcasting. “ Burch JB, Clark M, Yost MG, Fitzpatrick CT, Bach and AM, Ramaprasad J, Reif JS. Environ Health Perspect. 2006 Feb;114(2):248-53

White Blood Cells increase with increasing broadcast radiation. The second paper was obtained prior to publication by Lake Cedar Group doing a Freedom of Information request. “Human Responses to Residential RF Exposure.”

John S. Reif, James B. Burch, Michael Yost Annette Bach and, Maggie Clark. August 23, 2005. The data charts show that as the amounts of electromagnetic radiation increase, the amounts of our white blood cells (T-Cells) increase, even at levels 100 times under the FCC limits for broadcast radiation.

Estrogen levels increase in post menopausal women. The third paper is now published in the October edition of the Journal of the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.www.joem.org/. This study shows a biological response to the radiation in post menopausal women who do not have high levels of melatonin. The estrogen levels in these women increase as the amounts of broadcast radiation increase.

 

Judge Jackson dismisses CARE & Golden Lawsuit
Due to Jeffco's March approval of Lake Cedar Group rezoning proposal (that the previous County Commissioners approved), Judge Jackson dismissed CARE & Golden's Lawsuit against Lake Cedar Group (LCG). To read the entire order, click here...

Unfortunately, the issue is still unresolved.

  • Lake Cedar Group wants NO Jeffco zoning control and no limits on the number of antennas.  Judge Jackson did not dismiss the lawsuit because of the Act of Congress as LCG wanted, so unless LCG appeals the decision, LCG will have to abide by the Official Development Plan and Written Restrictions that the original County Commissioners approved. (SuperTower would be limited to 8 TV stations)
  • Judge Jackson did not address any of the constitutional arguments. 
  • There is no indication that any of our Colorado Delegation has made any effort to modify the law that was passed in the middle of the night.  This means over 20 additional high power HDTV antennas (current/pending FCC permits) could be put up on Lookout Mountain under S4092.

 

On March 12th, all 3 Jefferson County Commissioners, stating that they felt the Act of Congress gave them no other alternative, voted to approve the Lake Cedar Group 2003 Official Development Plan approved and recorded in 2003 by
the previous commissioners.

Jeffco has filed a status report to the court informing Judge Jackson of the resolution of approval of LCG's 2003 ODP.  To read the resolution, click here...  

This 2003 approval was appealed by CARE and the City of Golden. 

Some of the items in the 2003 plan include:
  • The approved ODP is exactly what we were fighting against
    when the County Commissioners approved it in 2003.
  • Highlights from Written Restrictions Eight Television
    broadcasting stations plus lots of odds and ends but
    "Shall not include weather radar and FM radio."
  • All towers come down once big (730ft) and little tower
    (35 ft) put up.
  • Only antennas of 1000 watts or lower can be on accessory
    tower.
  • All TV antennas but one will be directional.
  • Buildings-(up to 3) for a total of 21,000 square feet of
    which 50% shall be located below grade. Antennas can go
    on equipment building and tower.
  • An anemic 1 year interference program.
  • An anemic monitoring of RF LCG must get a Jeffco misc. permit for each new antenna.
  • Use Area B is the 72.18 acres - the existing building will be
    taken down, there will be guy wires, lines, driveways,
    fencing, and security equipment.
