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 fuor 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.”
Wildlife surveys. How can they be better?
This time of year , September, the biology is changing in most habitats. It would be great to get feedback from the community on biology changes they see on vacant land like this. Perhaps create a survey form ,? where people can submit information , they find on any of the properties in the area not specific to the bunker propertyor? , and also nearby properties like the the ravine area to the north.
For example, I’ve seen a lot more snakes out right now.Because they need the heat , they need the sun. And that affects other animals and rodents and things like that, that, and there could be something in that ecosystem that the snakes do, that could show some kind of animal that is very important and that may help the case of leaving that land and others )vacant.
Over ten years ago I set up a critter cam on one of those properties and set out some food , and it was amazing how much wildlife there is , specific in the middle of the night moving around. A big project like these? They should be required by law to set up critter cameras. There’s just no way you can see everything that’s going on.. NO WAY, unless you have a camera , it running 24x hours.
My thinking.
