5.1) Public Comment on the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report for South Livermore Valley Specific Plan to extend sewer infrastructure and service to protect water quality and agriculture in the South Livermore Valley.
Over the next several months, the wine industry will spread claims about how the South Livermore Valley sewer line extension would benefit the environment. In reality, the sewer line extension would increase the number of pesticides in our communities by expanding the wine industry's footprint.
If you look to Napa, Sonoma, and significant winemaking regions in France, you will see higher cancer rates correlated with pesticide exposure and drift. Winemaking is a pesticide-intensive process requiring the grapes' fragile skins to be sprayed repeatedly to be effective.
Not only do proponents of the sewer line extension downplay the toxic environmental hazards, but they want us as taxpayers to foot part of the bill for their for-profit infrastructure expansion.
Please vote with your conscience in November and oppose the South Livermore sewer line extension. Thank you for your time and consideration of my view as a concerned mother and Livermore resident.
