Community Petition
The community of Watsonville addressed the
Watsonville City Council on April 22, 2022 to demand the Protect Watsonville from Toxic Poisons!
To the City Council of Watsonville,
​
We want you to take action.
​
We insist that the developer of: 511 Ohlone Parkway (the proposed Hillcrest Estates subdivision) haul the 2 feet of identified toxic soil away.
​
This toxic soil has been identified over the 11-acre site of the site of future housing. The current plan- to remove only six inches of the top away to a landfill and to bury 17,999 cubic yards on site does NOT solve the danger to health!
​
We want more housing in Watsonville and yet we insist on safe living conditions for our city and our wetlands.
Al Ayuntamiento de Watsonville (Watsonville City Council),
​
Nosotros no estamos de acuerdo con el "plan de mitigación" para enterrer las toxinas situados en 511 Ohlone Parkway, Watsonville.
​
Queremos que Usted haga la decisión mas segura para nosotros y para el ambiente natural (incluyendo el estuario) - cual es la recomendación pervia del departamento del Condado de Santa Cruz - Servicios de Salubridad Ambiental- que era contener y completamente llevarse a las toxinas.
​
Ademas, nosotros creemos que esto (el "plan de mitigación") va contra los esfuerzos del estado de California y local para la justica ambiental.
