Urgent Action is needed. There is currently an application with the County of Lake Planning Department to grant variances to Verizon Wireless in order to install a 5G tower on Highway 175 between Bush and Stewart Streets. This is two blocks away from our High School, Middle School and Elementary school, not to mention multiple nearby daycares, churches and other schools. 

Verizon is requesting a 96% set back variance from the residences that abut the property, in other words they want to eliminate cell phone tower set back requirements in Lake County CA. 

These towers have been linked to multiple heath concerns including; Brain Cancer (especially in children), depression, insomnia and infertility.

The international biomedical research community is increasingly linking radio frequency radiation from wireless devices to adverse health effects. Among the devices of concern are cell towers and cell phones. Most recently, in 2016, the National Toxicology Program at the National Institutes of Health linked cellular radio frequency radiation to malignant brain tumors (gliomas) and malignant nerve tumors (schwannomas) of the heart in rats.  - Ronald M. Powell (retired U.S. Government scientist; Ph.D., Applied Physics, Harvard University)

Last year, California Department of Public Health officials finally released a draft document outlining health concerns stemming from cellphone radiation — including multiple cancers and infertility.

“We have evidence of brain tumors and other head and neck tumors. We also have evidence of sperm damage in males, infertility in females,” -Joel Moskowitz of U.C. Berkeley’s School of Public Health, who sued the state in 2016 under the California Public Records Act to obtain the information.

In the Town of Ripon California, Sprint Wireless, just turned off a 5G tower they installed at Weston Elementary School after the 4th reported case of brain cancer in young students at that school. There were also 3 reported cases of brain and lymph node cancer in adults at that same school. see “Power Shut of to Weston Cell Tower” https://www.mantecabulletin.com/news/local-news/power-shut-weston-cell-tower/

Better cell phone coverage should not mean risking the health of our children.
