Toxic Herbicide will be used at Glen Cove site.
The Greater Vallejo Recreation District plans to use toxic herbicide Garlon 4 to kill non-native plants.
I have been covering the Occupation of Glen Cove California, and yesterday I once again visited the site. Not much has changed. Some teepee's have been constructed and there is a ceremonial fire. Also the Greater Vallejo Recreation District still has not backed out of their plans and they insist on leaving any of the Native American groups out of any talks, so a compromise cannot be met.
One other fact that is more notable is that they plan to use the herbicide Garlon 4 to kill the non-native plants. That means Garlon 4 will be sprayed near the shoreline, and material safety data sheets say "that during spraying, aspiration into the lungs can occur causing lung damage and or pneumonia."
Garlon 4's ingredients have been known to cause birth defects and tumors.
Everyone in Vallejo California should read the Material Safety Data sheet for Garlon 4 because it will soon be sprayed in large quantities at Glen Cove California.
The photos include the newly painted street markings of all sewer and water lines. The markings indicate development is imminent.
