List of Reports

Description: Power going in and out, blackout and brownout conditions. Outage lasted from July 7-9, 2011. Rectified by attorney demands to owner; tenants' union letter to owners; and with assistance of IID.

Description: The picture was taken from Austin Rd, El Centro.
If you drive along this road, you can see a lot of open fields, sometimes you can see burning, sometimes it is plowing, sometimes it is spraying. When we have the gusty winds, the dust hits us really bad because of the open fields, we have no protection.

Description: About 1/2 mile south of the intersection of Keystone Rd & Dogwood Rd there are two(2) vehicle salvage yards. One appears abandoned & the other appears filled beyond capacity as there appears to be overflow of vehicles on the adjacent properties. Besides the abandoned site being an eye sore, there are other issues such as non permitted areas and the potential for spill of hazardous materials from vehicles due to the overflow.

Description: air quality on Sunday, June 26

Description: It was very difficult to breathe. My family had to restrain from playing sports, we couldn't go for a walk. We ended up going to Laguna Montain because the air was so bad. On Saturday, the pictures were taken from Austin Rd, El Centro.
On Sunday, the pictures were taken from Hwy 8 in the Ocotillo area.
From the freeway, when the air is not that bad, you can see plaster city; this day, it was almost impossible to see it, plaster city is about a mile from Fwy 8.

Description: Since July 6th (yesterday), electricity has been fluctuating in the Hernandez Mobile Home Park. This is not only a risk to the AC and other appliances in the homes, but a health risk also for the senior citizens, pregnant women, and children that reside there. A year ago, nine homes went without electricity for four weeks, in August. The symptoms were the same they are suffering right now, and the answer was the same they got today: don’t want the electricity to go? Then don’t turn on any AC or the system will overcharge and fail…

Description: I was driving north on dogwood road, a quarter mile from aten road when I came up on a curtain of dust thick enough to obscure visibility of traffic on both directions. the time was approx 7:15 pm. Winds from the west dragged the heavy dust on to the road as a tractor dragged heavy tilling equipment.

Description: Smelled a noxious order in Mecca by Western Envirnomental. Smelled like an "outhouse".

Description: 911 call to fire department was done since the fire seen by several people had gotten out of control from the field it was suppose to be on and went to the next field getting close to a wood pole by towers. Fire department was out there and the person did verify that this was a out of control fire.

Description: When driving on Worthington Road a field was burning and the smoke blanketed the road so there was a fellow leaning on a truck with a red flag under his arm(not waving the flag) I asked are you the flagger for the field burning and he said yes, I did tell him if he was suppose to have called the highway patrol to set up a detour and barricade and he said no this is not a highway, we just flag. I asked what am I suppose to do, he said wait till the smoke clears or go thru. So I decide to go thru to get out quick and not be around the smoke longer. This was reported directly to Brad Poirez and he also pointed out that the flagger was not in the right spot, he should of been farther back away from the fire to set up a detour and a way out for the cars there. He said that they just recently had training with the farmers and flaggers. I got a response back the following day personally from one of his staff.
