Description: A company, nearby housing developments in Mecca, is polluting the quality of air in the low income community of Mecca, in the County of Riverside California. The company is near some apartment complexes and housing development. Across the waste yard is a kindergarden for small children that during their breaks are playing and smelling this waste. The air nearby smells "rotten" and it gives a headache. The company has this mountains of waste polluting the quality of air. You can see the particules floating in the air, and the smell is just horrific. One of the worst cases of air pollutions I have seen in my life.

Description: I have a concern that large piles of mud combined with tires and trash are sitting on the side of the road on Bryant and mead road. Where does this trash end up? Who is extracting it? are not tires and trash illegal dumping. I have concern once the mud dries, the fine dust combined with all the pesticide from the drain canal will blow towards brawley near the school on Malan and Bryant. Everyone knows that when the farmers irrigate the fields the excess water and pesticides drain into the canals. Should I be concerned with the large piles of mud? can anyone test the piles? I took pictures this morning while driving to work.

Description: Drew road in seeley

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The county has informed me that Drew Road will not open until at least the end of January. Besides the serious inconvenience to the local residents, this is hurting business now that the snowbird season is here. I am trying to get people to voice there concerns to the board of supervisors at their meeting next Tuesday. I understand you are involved with Seeley Citizens United. Perhaps you could help get some people there. The county needs to know this is unacceptable. In reviewing the area, there could be a detour through a road through Sunbeam Park if they really wanted to do something.
