SAY NO TO THE CELL TOWER

AT&T WANTS TO BUILD

AT SLIGO BAPTIST CHURCH

Attend a Tuesday, October 7 meeting at 6 p.m. Argyle Park Activity
Building, 1030 Forest Glen Road, Silver Spring 20902!

AT&T Mobility plans to build a 101 foot high commercial cell tower on the Sligo
Baptist Church lot at 1610 Dennis Avenue just west of Inwood Avenue, in an
environmentally sensitive residential neighborhood. The cell tower would have a major impact
on Forest Estates and surrounding communities. It would:

! Destroy more than 5,000 square feet of mature forest
! Disrupt soil and land grading near the earthen dam that holds back the Dennis Avenue
ponds, and likely cause flooding in nearby homes/ streets
! Bring hazardous materials such as diesel near our homes and Sligo Creek
! Reduce property values for up to 2 miles around from the risks and noise
! Damage our local ecosystem including wildlife, trees, and streams.
! Put adults, children, and pets at risk of health effects from continuous radiofrequency
exposure
! Waste millions of dollars spent by the county in the past 20 years to manage storm
water and pollution runoff, which has helped revitalize the Sligo Creek watershed.

In other communities, cell towers have led to diesel oil leaks, fires, noise, and property values
being reduced up to 20 percent!

AT&T tiene un plan para construir una torre para celulares de 101 pies de
altura en la propiedad de Sligo Baptist Church en 1610 Dennis Avenue, al
oeste de la Inwood Avenue en una vecindad residencial. La torre celular
tendra un gran impacto sobre Forest Estates y las comunidades alrededor,
incluso lo siguiente:

! Pondra en riesgo adultos, nios, y mascotas para problemas de salud por razn de la
exposicin continua de radiofrecuencia.
! Traera materiales peligrosos tal como el disel cerca de nuestras casas y el Arroyo Sligo
(Sligo Creek).
! Reducira el valor de los bienes races por hasta 1-2 millas alrededor por resultado de
los riesgos y el ruido.
! Destruira ms de 5,000 pies cuadrados de bosque maduro.
! Perturbara el suelo y el nivel de las tierras junto a la presa de barro que protege los
estanques de Dennis Avenue, y posiblemente inundara las calles y casas cercanas.
! Daara la naturaleza, incluso la vida salvaje, las plantas, y los arroyos.
! Gastara millones de dlares invertidos por el condado durante 20 aos para controlar
las aguas de lluvia y la escorrenta contaminada, revitalizando la cuenca de Sligo Creek.

En otras comunidades, las torres celulares resultaron en escapes de petrleo disel, incendios,
ruido, y reducciones del valor de los bienes races hasta de 20 por ciento! AT&T no hizo una
investigacin del sitio cuando escogi Sligo Baptist Church.
