Thanks for posting on this. Many people within Val Verde are extremely concerned about this proposed expansion and the health toll it will have on our families. Any awareness that can be shone on this issue is greatly appreciated by those of us who will be most severely impacted by increased refuse, gases, and sludge being dumped in our backyards.
Why dont they use Sunshine Canyon?
I’m from val verde and a lot of Ppl have ha cancer over the years including me!! Landfill should close
They use to burn tires or something because we could smell it!!!!!
Stinks!
I am the President of the Val Verde Civic Association and I, along with residents of my community will comment on the Draft EIR.
I urge residents of Val Verde to attend the VVCA meetings, which are the second Thursday or the month at the Val Verde Park Clubhouse at 7:00 pm.
I am from Val Verde, and I brought up all my concerns. The landfill and the president of the committee that is the Lia-son for the landfill and the residents of Val Verde called me a fear monger-er. The landfill took in sludge high in arsenic which a pure violation of their permit. Now they want to take in sludge in the new permit. The smells out here sometimes wake people up in the night. We had monitors to measure gases, but they came up missing, a year later the liaison committee is still working on getting the monitors. We scream here in Val Verde, but who will listen to us?
I am on the VVCA. Contrary to some statements made, the community of Val Verde has every right to attend any meetings they wish to and speak up if they are apposed to the landfill. I have attended the CAC meetings that are a wast of time. We brought up the the monitors in question 8 months ago and have gotten absolutely no response.This group has people appointed by the county to advise us that don’t even live in Val Verde.ABSURD ! I sit at the VVCA meetings month after month for hours,we have the same folks attend. it seems like everyone loves to complain from their coaches.
I agree Jaime, it is easy to complain from the couch, but that gets nothing done. If people would show up and complain at the landfill committees then maybe the power would shift.
On another note, I believe Sunshine is going to close and we will be taking in their trash.
Let see if I have this right. They said they have permits across the site to build 2,000 houses to sell to whom, how soon? Really? So that the people who are to live in those houses can smell trash, get Cancer, and be miserable while paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for the privilege?
REALLY?
You forgot to mention that they are closing the entrance to the landfill on the 126 and building a mountain to block the view. The people buying the 21,000 houses to come in will be clueless, until they live with the smells we live with in Val Verde.
If you are smelling landfill, it is indicative that gases are traveling with the smells.
Thanks for correcting my “2000 Houses figure. Its actyually 21,000. Right? 21,000 houses that will house about an average of 4 people per house are going to be expose3d to smells and lead, and pesticides all leaching down their way. I’m glad we have haqve the ACA to handle the costs of the effects of the smell (asthma) and ….but why go on!
I hope people will show up for the meeting in Castaic at the sports complex at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday the 31st. That is their only chance to say anything about the concerns of landfill expanding.

They flat out lied in this article where they say Val Verde residents are for it. Also the 7,000 homes that get the electricity are not in our community, they are in Glendale.
They took in sludge which is a violation. Google sludge/santa barbara/ chiquita canyon.
When confronted John Musella said the sludge denied by Santa Barbara because of their air quality standards is good enough for Val Verde.
Santa Clarita is not that far from the landfill, why are they not fighting?
I know Castaic is getting paid, at their meeting they call it the “Golden Egg that was dropped into their lap” I do not know if it is worth their kids future.
VVCAC the liaisons between the landfill and Val Verde will be having their meeting this Monday night at the Embassy Sweets near the 5 Freeway and New Hall Ranch road at 6p.m. Please feel free to come out and listen to their stories of how glad we are to have the landfill. How we never smell it, and if we do we are mistaken. How they do not take in sludge with Arsenic even though Santa Barbara sold it to them. How they give electricity to 7,000 homes in our community. Well the community of Glendale, but close enough. If you are lucky you can hear them yell at us that we do not deserve to see the minutes. Fun for all.
We are being sold down the river in Val Verde.
