NOTE:  THIS PETITION IS NOW CLOSED.  A COPY OF THIS PETITION WITH 175 SIGNATURES WAS EMAILED TO THE VENTURA COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON MARCH 1, 2011.

To the Ventura County Board of Supervisors,

We the undersigned oppose the expansion of the Simi Valley Landfill. We urge the Ventura County Board of Supervisors to deny Waste Mangement's proposal to triple the landfill's capacity. We urge the Supervisors to vote for "Alternative 5: No Project Alternative". Simi Valley should not be allowed to become the waste repository for trash from Los Angeles County and other communities. We are concerned about the potential detrimental impacts on air quality, odors, traffic, open space, and hillside views. The current capacity of the Simi Valley Landfill is permitted through 2034 and is adequate for Simi Valley's and Ventura County's needs. We do not need to expand the landfill to accept more trash from other communities that are reluctant to provide for their own waste disposal.
