Thankfully there is another way into town besides the backed up Chiquita canyon. The trucks track large amounts of rock and dirt into the street creating a judge mess.
“When we destroy something created by man, we call it vandalism. When we destroy something created by nature, we call it progress.” by Ed Begley, Jr.,
So true!
Half way in this article seemed like a horror story. Hahahaha. “Monster machinery”. Haha
If the dump expands it will go to just the other side of this hill. Has the developer addressed this? I don’t know of many businesses that will want to be that close to a dump.
Just wait until the Newhall Ranch River project gets started. Yikes!
It started a little over a year ago. The Commerce Center bridge was the first part of it.
that ridge (although sad to lose, and sadder to see gone) was going to come down. doesn’t anyone know the Newhall Lands Plan… that whole side of Chiquita is going to be light industrial and business buildings. It’s going to go all the way to about 200′ shy of that first residential street before hitting town… this mountain has been planned to come down for many years.
Seems like no one in this little town pays attention to things until they happen, to little to late. get involved during the planning stages not the execution stages
The plans (the industrial build out going up Chiquita) for it to start were well longer than a year ago, try 2007, 2008 was when the EIR came out, this is not a new project or a new plan by any means.
We were referring to physical construction. That started with the Commerce Center bridge last year. We’ve been reporting on the Newhall Ranch EIR since 1994, when it was being drafted. The negative dec for the Commerce Center bridge (2005) you’ll find on our website here: http://www.scvhistory.com/pico/cadot2005commercecenterinterchange.htm
okay, but I’m talking about the commentator’s works… they always come after the fact, I’m saying the people in that town should get involved before things that upset them happen
Many of us have lived here a decade or two and have been actively involved all along. Many of us bought under the pretense that some of this was closing or not happening. Lies of course, BUT then there are some people who have moved here in the past few years or so and are now getting involved as they find out about all these things. If you move some place new do you really think you are going to know about everything happening there? Would you like to be put down for reporting on what is happening just because you were not here ten years or more ago to fight it? It takes time to acclimate to an area so crawling all up on people for not having been involved earlier is a little unfair. There is a bigger picture here.
I’ve lived in this Valley since Oct. 1978. I’ve watched this Valley be destroyed one ridge at a time. Yes growth is a necessary evil, but at the gross financial gain of a few. With no thought of the present and how they will move on to a place like Santa Clarita, and enjoy their lives while destroyed our peace,of heaven.
Amen – William Berndt!

you are all talking as though this has something to do with the lanfill/dump, it doesnt. This is newhall lands industrial park starting to go in, they took the dirt they were already going to remove anyway and used it to build the flyover solving 2 problems (removal and build out) at the same time, sad as it is
I am sorry Sandy, but you have the wrong ridge. The ridge the commentator is talking about is closer to Hasley Canyon in that portion of the industrial center. It is deeper in Val Verde than the area you are referring to. It is not on Chiquita Canyon Road OR part of the new flyover. It was a protected ridge and the ridge you are talking about was not – yours was actually a rolling hill in a different location. Hope that helps clarify why this article is NOT about the landfill.
no Abigail, I know which ridge I am talking about – but thanks.
Okay Sandy – thanks for clearing that up. I just spoke to the guy who wrote this and he agreed that the ridge he wrote about is NOT the ridge that they took all the dirt from to build that flyover and it is not on Chiquita Canyon Road or touching the landfill. So I am glad we both know the ridge.
:-)
Additionally, this land was owned by William Hunt and not Newhall Land and is not part of Newhall Land’s industrial park at all. Totally different location. It is the ridge a Val Verde resident was airlifted from a short while back.
Actually Abigail is right, it is the Hunts Williams property, and has nothing to do with that dirt. If you were right,that would be fantastic, it would be evidence of deliberate intent to violate a protected ridge and highly suspect.
