Let's Stop the Stink!!

By Larry Sundram

The sewage treatment plant on our river is a gift to housing developers that will lead to over development of this beatuiful area. It needs to be stopped.

A. Reasons for the sewer plant

• Allows Pardee to build 1,250 high density houses. No sewer, no housing.
• Allows Rainbow to encourage other high density housing and bring in more revenue.
• It might reduce sewer charges by $5.00 monthly - assuming everything else works.

• This development alone adds 15,000 cars a day; others add even more.
• Visual blight, odor, insects, risk of ground water contamination.
• Inept executives do not manage current operations. Why risk more?

D. Next Steps

• Rainbow sponsors Environmental Review
• County certifies the EIR mid 2005
• LAAFCO proceeds with annexation late 2005
• Plant construction 2006
• Plant on line late 2006 or early 2007

• Don't Build it. Fight it every step of the way.
• Build it; but let Pardee put it on their own property!
• Build it; But use newer technology (trash to energy)

• Learn as much as you can.
• Attend Rainbow meetings and express your point of view
• Vote for those who share your point of view.
