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.
