ACTION to STOP the MRF in Canyon Country/Newhall
This entry was posted on 3/5/2008 11:00 AM and is filed under Burrtec Waste Industries MRF.
I am posting this email because WE NEED TO
TAKE ACTION NOW to prevent Burrtec Waste Industries from shipping ALL
the TRASH collected in the City of Santa Clarita and Surrounding Areas
in, and out, of Canyon Country/ Newhall.
This TRASH FACILITY called a Material Recovery Facility
and Transfer Station will be located on Sierra Highway South of Golden Valley
Road generating over 860 TRUCK TRIPS PER DAY on Sierra
Highway. If that were not bad enough,
the facility is being sized at 75 ACRES allowing for FUTURE
EXPANSION as the valleys population and Burrtec's business grows. All this and it is proposed in an area zoned
RESIDENTIAL.
So let's listen to Joe and support this effort to keep CANYON
COUNTRY/NEWHALL from becoming the TRASH CENTER or the Santa Clarita
Valley.

We are off to a great start, but the battle
has just begun. We will win this thing, but we are going to have to make our
collective voices heard - loud and
clear.
The next step is to make a large presence at the next City Council Meeting on Tuesday, March 11 at 6 pm at the City
Hall, 23920 Valencia Blvd, Santa Clarita, CA 91355, in the City
Council Chambers. It is very important that we have a large
group attend and as many as possible who are willing to speak about their
objections to this project for 3 minutes each (or as long as you like, up to 3
minutes). Once you speak, you can leave. Or, if you stay for everyone to speak,
we can leave as a group at the end of the 'Public Participation' portion of the
meeting.
Joe would like a head count of:
1.) Who will attend and
speak
2.) Who will attend and show our solidarity
3.) Who needs a ride
to and from the City Council Meeting
Please email Joe at stop.the.dump4@gmail.com to let him
know that you will be there, ASAP, especially if you need
transportation.
Again, this is very important. Please help us
on this most critical effort.
SEE YOU THERE.
