Yosemite Slough concentrated with PCBs and other toxins by Monster Park

by Francisco Da Costa
It is shocking while thousands suffer from cancer and other diseases in the Bayview and Hunters Point area - Arc Ecology is getting over $386,000 from SF Redevelopment Agency for some fake outreach. Thousands of dollars from other State Agencies to create a fake Park and supposedly clean up PCBs and other toxins that is Yosmite Slough. There is no way one can compare Crissy Field at the Presidio of San Francisco with Yosemite Slough.
Arc Ecology purports that is will clean Yosemite Slough that is full of PCBs and the most toxic elements from all the Atomic Experiments carried on as part of the War Effort at Hunters Point.

Saul Bloom aka David Solomon spear heads Arc Ecology.

Saul Bloom lives in Marin County but some how is getting thousands of dollars to clean up Yosemite Slough that is famous for the most dangerous PCBs and other toxic elements like lead, mercury, daily bombarded by radiological elements.

There is no way one can compare Crissy Field at the Presidio of San Francisco with Yosemite Slough.

The SF Redevelopment Agency has adopted Saul Blook an outsider but with good connections and cozy dealings with Jesse Blout, Michael Cohen, and Marsha Rosen. All of these folks do not have the better interests of people of color and most importantly want to harm innocent people.

It is simply wrong to try to create some sort of wetland, a fake Park with many hotspots, cap a large area of very toxic land - and brag that the Park is much like Crissy Field.

The land once had true wetlands when the Ohlone lived and the land was stolen from them.

Such type of nonsense going on at Yosemite Slough can only be found in the Bayview Hunters Point - because of Sophie Maxwell - the most ignorant, arrogant, and very inept Supervisor of District 10.

Any intelligent Scientist given the opportunity to test the soil, air, and water can reveal the truth.
The land, water, and air is very polluted around Yosemite Slough. It is NOT uncommon to find deformed fish and a stench that harm those that come in contact with the area.

Imagine the shock when the Main Press printed such nonsense that Yosemite Slough will be converted and will be much like Crissy Field.

Only in San Francisco that is supposed to be a Green City with well informed Environmentalists do people find it suprising that no one is actually looking at the real facts.

Pollution of the worst order is present at Yosemite Slough. And why do we need a weasel from Marin County to create some machinations around Yosemite Slough.

Where are all our Scientists? What are our Universities doing about this situation? What about the University of San Francisco that is playing some role in this nonsense?

The San Francisco Health Department does not really care what happens to constituents around Yosemite Slough.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Toxic and Sustances Controll (DTSC) could not care less. So does the Bay Area Air Quality Managment.

Perhaps, the only way to wake up these fools and San Francisco is a class action suit.

One Class Action Suit on Hunters Point and the other on Yosemite Slough. This will seal the fate of those that making money at the expense of pollution and adverse impacts on constituents that live within a 3 mile area of Yosemite Slough.

The San Francisco Main Press should be ashamed of themselves publishing such garbage on Yosemite Slough without giving the readers the right information.

Some of those that object to this nonsense Espanola Jackson, Shirley Jones, Lynne Brown, Michael Boyd, Ahimsa Sumchai, and a host of others that know the truth.
