Nice to see the state district attorney writing memos to the city of Moreno Valley. The blight of warehouses is overpowering. The electric demand of these warehouses is massive and often is a 24×7 day demand, for Amazon warehouses for sure.
The state government and governor need to get involved pronto!
from da office:
“Moreno Valley is an Inland Empire city that transformed in recent years from a rural community
to a hub for large-scale warehouse and distribution centers constructed to meet the growing
demand for e-commerce. Moreno Valley is also home to residential disadvantaged communities
that are heavily impacted by these warehouse developments and the attendant air emissions from
heavy-duty diesel trucks. Western Moreno Valley has historically been heavily impacted by
industrial development and is home to dozens of large-scale warehouses that have been
constructed adjacent to residential neighborhoods, schools, and parks. California Environmental
Protection Agency’s CalEnviroscreen 4.0 tool shows several census tracts in Moreno Valley fall
in the 99th percentile for ozone pollution, which is contributed to by diesel trucks, making it
among the most polluted areas in the state for ozone.5 Acute exposure to ozone, also known as
smog, is associated with decreases in lung function, worsening of asthma, and increases in
hospital admissions as well as daily deaths.”
