Honorable Mayor Castillo

The residents of Malibu Bay and its adjacent communities in Pembroke Pines West, strongly oppose to the Miami-Dade garbage-burning incinerator new construction, between Broward County & Miami Dade border. Therefore, we want to express our deep concern about the imminent environmental threat close to our homes. The proposed Okeechobee location is within 5 to 6 (+-) miles from our communities. We believe that the installation of said incinerator will negatively change the quality of life of many Pembroke Pines families. It may not only have a detrimental effect on many individuals’ health, but also, have a negative impact on the value of our homes. As it has and is currently impacting many families in the City of Doral.

The emissions of atmospheric pollutants that this incinerator will produce are a real hazard. As despite of technological advances, incinerators emit gases such as dioxins, furan, and heavy metals. This compromises air quality. Short, medium, or long-term exposure to these pollutants can lead to serious respiratory diseases, causing serious issues to public health.

We want to invite you, Mayor Castillo, to exert greater pressure and take a stronger stand against the approval of the Okeechobee site location for the construction of the Miami Dade Waste Incinerator. Have the City of Pembroke Pines act as our neighboring city of Miramar has. This will go in a long way to earning the respect of your constituents. Let us say NO! to this proposed incinerator location. Additionally, we would like to extent our full support on this endeavor.

Respectfully,

City of Pembroke Pines West Communities Residents

Honorable alcalde Castillo

Los residentes de Malibú Bay junto a otras comunidades adyacentes del Oeste de Pembroke Pines, se oponen firmemente a una nueva construcción de incinerador de basura entre la colindancia del lado Oeste, de los condados de Miami Dade y Broward. Por lo tanto, queremos expresar nuestra profunda preocupación por esta amenaza ambiental inminente cerca de nuestros hogares. La ubicación propuesta en Okeechobee Rd, queda 5 a 6 (+-) millas a distancia de nuestras comunidades. Creemos que la instalación de dicho incinerador cambiará negativamente la calidad de vida de muchas familias de Pembroke Pines. Pensamos, que no solo puede tener un efecto perjudicial en la salud de muchas personas, sino que también tendrá un impacto negativo en el valor de nuestras propiedades. Sabemos, que actualmente muchas familias en la ciudad del Doral, donde se encontraba anteriormente dicha planta incineradora, (hasta que fue destruida por un incendio), Se han visto afectadas por los efectos de estar, cerca a sus casas.

Las emisiones de contaminantes atmosféricos que producirá este incinerador son un peligro real. A pesar de los avances tecnológicos, los incineradores emiten gases como dioxinas, furano y metales pesados. Esto compromete la calidad del aire. Una exposición a corto, mediano o largo plazo de estos contaminantes puede conducir a enfermedades respiratorias graves, ocasionando terribles problemas de salud pública.

Queremos invitarlo a usted, Sr. Castillo, a ejercer una mayor presión y tomar una posición más firme en contra de la aprobación de la ubicación del sitio en Okeechobee Rd. para la construcción del incinerador de basura de Miami Dade. Exigimos que logre que la ciudad de Pembroke Pines actúe como lo ha hecho nuestra ciudad vecina de Miramar. Esto hará que ganen en gran manera el respeto y consideración de sus electores. ¡Digamos NO! a esta ubicación propuesta del incinerador. Además, sepa usted que le extendemos todo nuestro apoyo por este importante esfuerzo.

Con todo respeto,

Residentes de las Comunidades, del Oeste en Pembroke Pines

I am currently organizing the data submitted regarding air quality concerns to present during the upcoming city council review. Attorneys representing affected neighborhoods have reached out to discuss building a formal opposition case based on these signatures.

November 6, 2024

The scale of this response confirms the urgency of our position to the City Council. I am scheduling a meeting with the Mayor's office to present these concerns formally and demand a public hearing on the site selection.

I am completely opposed the relocation of the incinerator for personal health concerns and the threat that the contaminants present to our vital eco-system of the Everglades

Dear Mayor, please consider stopping incinerator from coming into our neighborhood. Pembroke Pines has always been a family oriented neighborhood where we can always feel safe. Please do your best to keep this away from this neighborhood.
