Eye opening of what is really going on.
I want to thank Steve Lee and Susie Evans for providing us with this important information. Comes a time when a landfill is FULL and it is time to move on. The Bradley Landfill in Sun Valley closed after 50 years in operation. Chiquita Canyon Landfill has been in operation for over 40 years and expansion is not the answer given the growth and future growth of this city. There should be disclosure statements given to all future homeowners buying property off the 126.
I want to also thank Steve Lee for protecting our community by telling people the truth about what the reality is with the Chiquita Canyon Landfill. My husband worked on the orignal contract with the landfill. They made binding agreements with the community and the county that seem to have been blatantly ignored, agreements that endanger our communities. The news about Santa Clara Waste Water Co is frightening. This may be only tip of the iceberg of the breeches of the contract to our community and the long term environmental impact to the entire Castaic/Santa Clarita Valleys.
So…what were trucks heading to Chiquita Landfill even doing there? Did these items in fact go to this landfill? If the items at this facility were not permitted to ever go to this landfill it does not make sense that they were there in the first place.
Thank you for printing Mr. Lee’s commentary SCVNEWS, and for helping bring some very important questions that need to be addressed to light.
Correct me if I am wrong, did I hear they are inditing Gas Co officials for the leak? They indited the officials of the Santa Paula company that blew up two years ago. Do we have to wait for the dump to blow up because of the illegal things they are taking in before someone listens to us?
Abigail, from what I am finding out, the entire clean up afterwards also went to this landfill. The EPA sent it all there. That baffles me. The place that is violating the contract, the same contract the EPA should be enforcing, receives all the waste they are not supposed to be taking. What?
Newhall Land & Farming: Imagine the possible lawsuits from new owners in the new home developments, just across the highway (126) from this menace landfill (that you once owned). Better insure that all new home owners are FULLY aware of this landfill, before they buy a home.
Not to defend the landfill in any way but, if they did not know the materials were hazardous as the company that was sending them is being indited for falsifying their paperwork. Very different than the sludge they took which was correctly labeled. Then the landfill could claim innocence here….
Steven that would be a good defense, except for the definition of sludge, by their own mother company is who you take it from. One definition of sludge by landfill definition is anything from a water treatment plant. And that is the catch, sludge is not what the average person thinks sludge is, it is exactly what this plants bi-products are. The definition is on Waste Connections own web site.
SLUDGE: Any solid, semi-solid, or liquid waste generated from a municipal, commercial, or industrial wastewater treatment plant, water supply treatment plant, or air pollution control facility, exclusive of the treated effluent from a wastewater treatment plant.
