OT:Looming Disaster for the Temecula Area: Liberty Quarry/Mega Mine

[paramount]

It’s been in works for years, and honestly I never thought it would be approved or even be seriously considered given the detrimental impacts the proposed location would have on the Temecula area. I’m referring to the proposed Liberty Quarry and Asphalt Plant/Mega Mine that would be just across the 15 freeway and to the south of Temecula.

Temecula is essentially directly downwind from the proposed quarry. Not to mention that the location of the quarry would be right smack in a pristine ecological preserve ran by SDSU.

Obviously, and as the EIR states, there will be significant air quality, traffic and other impacts to Temecula and the surrounding region including Fallbrook.

Were talking constant plumes of silica, microscopic quartz crystals, dust and diesel soot settling down on Temecula at least 20 hours per day for 50 years or more – not to mention noise from blasting.

Make no mistake: Temecula is in for the fight of it’s life. And right now, it looks like Temecula is loosing.

paramount, if this project has “been in the works for years,” then wouldn’t those who bought properties in the TV region in the last 10-15 years have heard about it or have known about it prior to signing on the dotted line? Did they buy thinking that it would never come about??

That’s what a lot of people thought about I-15 being built through SD metro (and connecting with I-5 in National City). The plans (large detailed relief maps) had been hung in both the CALTRANS building in Old Town and the County Public Works “Ruffin Rd” annex bldg since the mid-80’s. Until the lawsuits with environmental groups were all adjudicated/settled, many people thought it would never happen. As the last suits were about to disappear, a lot of folks rushed in to buy up as many properties on “40th St” that they could as fast as they could, so they could board them up and turn around and sell them (at a profit) to CALTRANS for the State’s “fair market-value payment” in lieu of eminent domain proceedings, lol.

It turned out that I-15 and its subsequent “cut and cover projects” in City Heights was the best thing that ever happened to the area!

Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for a noisy and dirty “upwind” quarry/mega mine :=[

Its ironic how these real events can have such an impact.
I am not saying that Temecula will go this direction but environmental concerns can shift business-friendly pro-growth areas into a more environmentally conscious mindset.

San Francisco had the Freeway Revolt in the late 50’s.
This is pretty much acknowledged as the beginning of the shift from a conservative military town to what it has become.
Cleveland’s river fire effectively created the EPA.
Cleveland is one of the most lefty cities in the midwest now.
Its something that public officials should consider when they get too friendly with business.
Decisions that affect the lives of many, have a way of influencing future elections.

Watching the neighborhood burn down for a few bucks can do that
