[Sustain] Alert! Call City Hall Today To Stop Toxic Developer

[Eric Brooks]

Action: Call-In Day Today!

All,

Tomorrow, Tuesday, July 13, the SF Board of Supervisors will cast one of 
the most important environmental votes in City history. At stake is a 
vital wildlife habitat, and the public health and safety of all San 
Franciscans, especially those in the City's most ecologically and 
economically vulnerable community, the Bayview Hunters Point.

Recently, Miami based mega developer Lennar corporation was fined over 
$500,000 for repeatedly violating air safety regulations in a huge condo 
development project in the Bayview. Yet even though Lennar was found 
liable for stirring up deadly toxic chemicals and asbestos, it is on the 
verge of being allowed to double its operations! Lennar's new project 
would replace large areas of San Francisco's Candlestick Point State 
Park wildlife habitat, with high-end waterfront condos and a yacht harbor.

Project Also Sits Directly On Toxic/Radioactive Navy Dump

In part of the new project area, there is also a dangerous U.S. Navy 
chemical and radioactive dump, designated as a hazardous Superfund site 
by the U.S. EPA.

The approval will allow Lennar to continue its dangerous, shoddy 
construction, and will also permit the Navy dump to be covered with an 
unsafe 'cap' rather than requiring all toxic and radioactive materials 
to be removed from the site. Once the 'cap' is in place, homes, 
businesses and parkland will be built on top of it.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Rejecting the project will depend on the crucial swing vote of Board of 
Supervisors President David Chiu.

Call Supervisor Chiu at 415-554-7450 with the following comment:

"Please reject the Candlestick, Hunters Point Environmental Impact 
Report. It is unacceptably dangerous to the Bayview and the entire City, 
and threatens destruction of vital wildlife habitat."

If you call during the evening, or get a recording, just leave your 
comment as voice mail.
