STOP THE TRUCKS: SAVE THE DATE! CRITICAL MEETING TO BLOCK OZENA! WEDNESDAY, MAY 6TH AT 6:00 PM AT CHAPARRAL

0033 Stop.jpg

URGENT!! URGENT!!

The Ventura County Planning Agency has issued a Notice of an Environmental Impact Scoping Meeting for the Ozena Valley Ranch Mine to be held in the Chaparral High School Auditorium at 6:00 pm on Wednesday, May 6th.

DO YOU WANT 200 EIGHTY-THOUSAND POUND, DOUBLE-HOPPER, DIESEL-EXHAUST SPEWING TRUCKS-PER-DAY ROARING PAST YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS!?

We need to have every single person who opposes gravel trucking through the Ojai Valley to attend and pack the room. This is one of our very few opportunities left to make our feelings about this project known directly to the Planning Agency.

THE ADDED HEAVY-INDUSTRIALIZED-TRUCK TRAFFIC WILL ENDANGER YOUR SAFETY & HEALTH.

THE DIESEL EXHAUST FROM TWO-HUNDRED TRUCKS DAILY CONTAINS BENZENE, FORMALDEHYDE, SULFUR DIOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE, CARBON MONOXIDE, NITRIC OXIDE & THE EXHAUST-SOOT CONTAINING CANCER-CAUSING HYDROCARBONS MAY CONTRIBUTE TO INCREASED RATES OF CANCER, RESPIRATORY (LUNG) AND HEART DISEASE.

If we fail to act now as a community, it may be too late to act later! Please be there and bring all of your friends and family!

200-TRUCKS PER DAY ROARING BY THE ENTRANCE TO YOUR HOMES OR BUSINESS WILL ENDANGER EVERYONE’S SAFETY, PARKING, ENTERING & EXITING & MAY ALSO RUIN THE OJAI VALLEY’S ECONOMY & QUALITY OF LIFE.

The current proposal for a modification of the existing permit would DOUBLE the amount of trucking through the Ojai Valley from Cuyama that we experienced in 2007 - 2008 and strip away almost every single protection we have fought for over the past two and a half years!

Make sure you invite the LA Times and LA news stations, they can make the story a regional and national issue.
