CCAC Members and Friends
OUR WORK TO STOP THE
MRF (TRASH PROCESSING FACILITY) IN CANYON COUNTRY/NEWHALL
IS NOT
DONE.
Burrtec has asked the city to POSTPONE the current MRF process.
City staff has confirmed that Burrtec's request has been received and
that the EIR contractor has been contacted
and directed to STOP WORK FOR
NOW.
THAT MEANS THE PROPOSAL TO PLACE THE MRF
(DUMP) ON SIERRA HIGHWAY CAN BE RESURECTED
AT SOME FUTURE
DATE.
IF CITY STAFF AND/OR BURRTEC THINKS THAT
POSTPONING THE PROJECT WILL PUT OUR COMMUNITY TO SLEEP SO THAT THEY CAN
QUIELTY RESTART THE PROJECT AT SOME LATER DATE,
THEY ARE DEAD
WRONG!!
Based on discussions at the March 19 Canyon
Country Advisory Committee
PLEASE HELP SEND A STRONG MESSAGE TO THE
CITY OF SANTA CLARITA AND BURRTEC.
ATTEND THE MARCH 25 CITY COUNCIL MEETING,
SPEAK IN PUBLIC PARTISIPATION AND TELL THE CITY COUNCIL THAT YOU WANT CLEAR
COUNCIL DIRECTION TO STAFF THAT SIERRA HIGHWAY IS NOT TO BE CONSIDERED AS A
LOCATION FOR THE MRF (DUMP).
WRITE, EMAIL AND CALL BURRTEC AND LET THEM
KNOW THAT OUR COMMUNITY IS OPPOSED TO PLACING THE MRF (DUMP) ON SIERRA HIGHWAY.
Help save our community.
THE TIME TO ACT IS NOW!!!

March CCAC Meeting
Mr.
Ferdman,
On
behalf of Burrtec Waste Industries I would like to thank you and the
Canyon Country Advisory Committee for inviting us to speak at
your March 19th meeting.
Burrtec is a strong advocate of open communication and
cooperation with all the communities we serve. We realize that the Santa Clarita
Material Recovery Facility project has raised concerns among local residents who
are not in favor of it's development and have expressed a need for clarity and
complete information.
Rest
assured, Burrtec does not want to operate in an area where we are not welcomed
by all concerned.
Our
decisions on this project will be based on compliance with State
mandates, local contract compliance and community
support.
With
this being said and in light of recent community input, we have
decided to postpone the current Santa Clarita MRF Project
until viable
options can be discussed with City Staff and the entire
community of Santa Clarita. Regrettably, we respectfully decline the opportunity
to address the CCAC at this time.
We
look forward to re-visiting the Santa Clarita MRF Project in the
future
and
value your input.
Sincerely,
Michael Arreguin
Vice
President
Burrtec Waste Industries, Inc.
