Comment:
Rodeo Citizens Asso. has acquired their 501C3 non-profit status recently. Our org.has accomplished many enviromental projects. We need help in this community. We have a high rate of poverty ,.low income. Refinery toxic air, our marina,beach is contaminated. Our wrecking yard has oil leaching into creek, and on to the bay, violation never enforced. Rodeo was not listed as disadvandage community. WE relocated our school from the border of Unocal at the time of their catacarb spill in 1994, and citizens relocated. There were times we had to put our children to shelter in place. At night, I had people calling when sirens blew, and they ask "should I put towel around the windows" We know Refinery's can do better. People don't want their community to have a stigma of bad air. They love it here, and do not want their home values down. We want to enjoy clean air. Many people and the children have asthma. Thank You Janet Pygeorge RCA President
