Carlsbad to Consider Opposing Gregory Canyon Landfill

The Carlsbad City Council is set to consider a resolution opposing the Gregory Canyon Landfill this
evening at 6:00 PM at the City Council Chambers, 1200 Carlsbad Village Drive. This
dangerous project would be sited next to the San Luis Rey River watershed AND the San Diego aqueduct
and be within one mile of many domestic and irrigation wells. Contamination to these adjacent
bodies would cause water that is relied upon by thousands to be contaminated in this state of
drought and dwindling water deliveries. The project will also negatively impact
the Pala Band of Mission Indians who would be forced to see their sacred sites desecrated by
this project. Please show up at Calrlsbad City hall to ask the City Council to approve this resolution
opposing this project, our water supply in San Diego County is too precious to allow this project
to go forward.
If you can't make it to the meeting, please (especially if you are a Carlsbad resident)
e-mail the City Council using this link.
Hope to see you all there promptly at 6:00, tonight.
