World Known California Redwoods Will be Gone Forever
Russian River Redevelopment, sewer project, and wastewater contamination will kill Russian River and world known California redwoods. Gone forever.
(PRWEB) May 24, 2005 -- The Russian River area of northern California is
being attacked by Sonoma County Supervisors who head the Redevelopment Agency.
Abuse of redevelopment and its application in the Russian River will permanently
harm the area contrary to the Supervisors' promises of greater economical
wealth. A pending sewer project in the area as well as existing and future
wastewater contamination by Santa Rosa will poison the Russian River and its
wildlife. All of the pending development projects for this area will kill the
Russian River and the Redwoods. These amazing redwoods will be gone
forever.
For over a hundred years this area of the redwoods known as the
Russian River has been a vacation spot for millions of people from all over the
world. With the county supervisor's desire to increase tax revenue from the area
and to increase economic growth in other parts of Sonoma County this area has
fallen under attack by those supervisors.
None of the projects proposed
in this area are wanted or needed by any of the local people and erroneous data
and false Environmental Impact Reports have been used for the goals of the
supervisors. Many of the projects will cause financial burden upon residents, or
loss of homes, or harm to health. The people have not had any control and will
not have any control.
The river water will be contaminated. Salmon and
other fish will die. Otters will no longer come up river. Ducks, osprey, and
other birds will abandon the area or die off. This impact upon various species
will affect the redwood forest and wildlife within it.
Only with the
support and financial and other help by environmental groups and concerned
individuals can this area's natural wonders be preserved. Local residents,
alone, simply don't have enough power and funding to win in this fight. Simply,
it won't take many years for everything to start dying off, slowly, surely, and
forever.
