DESCRIPTION:   From:       charisse@youthunited.net      Subject:     East Palo Alto 
 Residents To March For Our Health And Environment!    Apologies for the 
 cross postings...  Please Join Us!!!  East Palo Alto Residents To March For 
 Our Health And Environment!  Stop DTSC's Carelessness  Shut Romic Down Now! 
    *********************  Thursday, April 20th, 2006  Rally and March  
 Start at 4:45PM at Parking Lot of Home Depot (Donohoe Street and East  
 Bayshore)  End at 6:00PM at Pulgas and Bay Road  *********************  
 YUCA will be presenting DTSC 1,800 signatures opposing Romic's permit. 
 Since  1994, community residents have waged a campaign to shut down Romic 
 in East  Palo Alto.  We want to get Romic out of East Palo Alto because 
 people should  not have to suffer for Romic‚'s and DTSC's carelessness. 
 In the spirit of  Earth Month, residents say that we have the right to live 
 in a toxic free  city.            Romic is an unsafe hazardous waste 
 recycling facility that has been  contaminating East Palo Alto since 1964 
 and has not had a proper operating  permit for the past 14 years.  Romic 
 has had constant violations that have  put the life of East Palo Alto 
 residents at risk. It has taken this facility  10 years to release their 
 Environmental Impact Report and when it was  finally released in May 2005, 
 it was inadequately written.  It stated that  the impacts on the community 
 would be less than significant.    DTSC (Department of Toxic Substances 
 Control) has also contributed to East  Palo Alto's bad health because it 
 has violated the community's trust by not  addressing our community's 
 concerns.  DTSC failed to inform the community as  a whole that they were 
 engaging in settlement negotiations with Romic.  DTSC  fails to protect the 
 community by allowing non-compliant companies to  operate without any real 
 penalties that do not significantly impact the  companies.     The City of 
 East Palo Alto and its residents have carried the burden of San  Mateo 
 County for many years.  Pollutants coming from thousands of constant  
 commuting cars, land and water contamination, and Romic have led to many  
 cancer and asthma cases.    East Palo Alto will be heard!!!    If you have 
 any questions, please feel free to call (650) 322-9165\n
