SoCalGas is rushing the clean-up of their toxic compressor station across the street from an elementary school in a disadvantaged Latino community in West Ventura. In addition to concerns about their clean-up job, this is also an attempt to double the size of their historically faulty and explosive site.

NASA has labled the site a "super emitter" of methane and it has a history of multiple leaks in the past. It has also been home to numerous industrial uses over the decades. As a result, the soil and facilities are contaminated with lead, diesel fuel, and a host of other known carcinogens.

The plan SoCalGas submitted to the state of California to clean up the toxic soil on their site is incomplete and needs a full Environmental Impact Review.

Tell your local elected officials and the Department of Toxic Substance Control that we need a bilingual, inclusive community hearing to get more answers, and we need to ensure an Environmental Impact Review is done before any clean-up starts.

Sign below to tell local and state officials to SLOW DOWN and consider public health.

Your Message
Dear state and local officials,

I urge you to join the community in demanding the Department of Toxic Substance Control hold an inclusive and bilingual hearing to address further questions. Also, that SoCalGas and government agencies conduct a full Environmental Impact Review of the entire expansion project, which is usually required for toxic projects of this size.

Sincerely,
