CHD Intervenes on Behalf of Residents in Belmar, NJ To Fight Verizon 5G Towers on Jersey Shore

Washington, D.C. — Children’s Health Defense (CHD) filed a Motion to Intervene and a supporting memorandum yesterday in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of its Monmouth members in their efforts to prevent the erection of nine Verizon 5G towers along the area’s shoreline.

On Sept. 7, Verizon Wireless sued Monmouth County in federal court, arguing that all environmental approvals under the Coast Area Facilities Review Act (CAFRA) at the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) are subject to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) local permitting rules for small wireless facilities and that the company’s application to build the towers was unlawfully denied.
