Comment:
I request that BAAQMD's "Option 6" be considered in calculating disadvantaged communities so communities like Crockett and Rodeo can be considered based on the following: - Economic disparity and high unemployment - High asthma rates - Proximity to one of the worst polluters in Northern California (there is no buffer zone between Tormey/Crockett, Rodeo and Phillips 66) - Exposure to fine particulate matter from refineries - Superfund site within our town limits: Selby Slag in Selby.Crockett (a capped area of 2.3 million cubic yards of nickel, cadmium, lead, etc. that leeches chemicals out into the Bay and is considered the biggest polluter to Bay Waters) - Negative environmental impacts from Diesel emissions traffic (highway 80 splits our 2 towns)
