 denying Cottonwood Creek's permit to reinstate their operation in West 
 Fresno.  \n\nRev. Floyd D. Harris Jr, the National President of NNIA, local 
 Pastors and other Concern citizens will speak to ongoing problem that led 
 to West Fresno being the breeding ground for hazardous waste companies in 
 the last 50 years.  \n\nThese businesses in West Fresno has polluted the 
 breathing air in the lowest income poverty community in the city of Fresno. 
 Cottonwood Creek CWC may have possibly processed hazardous waste material 
 generated by local cheese and dairy manufacturing industries. This business 
 may have used chemicals and bacteria, which may have released intolerable 
 amounts of offensive, noxious odor into the air. The odor continues to 
 cover entire West Fresno neighborhoods causing residents and employees who 
 work near the business to become sick. The West Fresno Community has 
 suffered long enough form Darling International stinking up our air for 
 over 50 years!\n\nCotton Wood Creek's Conditional use Permit has been 
 REVOKED and now CWC has appealed to reinstate of their operations to the 
 Fresno City Planning Commission.  The Hearing will be held on Wednesday 
 December 17,2008 at 6:00 pm. at the Fresno City Hall, Second Floor, City 
 Council Chamber, 2600 Fresno Street, Fresno. \n\n\nIt our belief that 
 Fresno must comply with one of the most important international conventions 
 which states that each human being is entitled to a clean environment.  
 That declaration, signed in Stockholm Declaration in 1982 states: "Man has 
 a fundamental right to live in a appropriate conditions and live in a good 
 healthy environment"\n
