​STOP MESA ROCK CONCRETE CRUSHING FACILITY

Much too close to residential neighborhoods for this type of use.

STOP the insanity... dust, pollution, noise, Big Trucks ... this will affect many, many residents!!

The location of this project is unsafe and unnecessary.

I definitely do not want this project to have approval!

I enjoy walking in my neighborhood and I always see several of my neighbors doing the same as well. How can my family, friends and fellow community members enjoy the outdoors anymore with the building of this industrial plant within our residential neighborhoods? The negative impacts that this project will induce onto our living environments with the added noise and dust particle pollution will deeply hinder the quality of our lives here in Northern Escondido! Please revoke this permit, stop any future plans with ever moving forward with this project and support your local tax paying community members who live in these affected neighborhoods! Thank you.

This would be such a blow to our health/well-being, property values and quality of life. How has this project been allowed to get this far without a site-specific EIR? That is completely unacceptable and reeks of negligence at best, corruption at worst.

No causing more air pollution and breathing problems for Escondido and San Marcos children and our growing population !

More dust and noise at my home. Lower property value as well. NO THANKS! Stop this nuisance. Deny permit.

Stop the Mesa Rock concrete Crushing Facility. We do not want the noise, dust and pollution in a residential neighborhood.

The Mesa Rock Concrete Crushing facility will badly impact the health and safety of the surrounding residential areas and the environment. For the following reasons I strongly request (and will remember in November) this project be rejected: Noise, dust, pollution and health impacts from concrete crushing and grinding six days a week, including detrimental effect on health caused by silica dust (silicosis) Blasting with bulk industrial explosive, 2.5 tons per detonation, 132 times, to excavate 245,000 cubic yards of rock for roadway and site preparation Potential fire hazard from combustible piles of wood debris/ chips and fire spreading rapidly toward residential communities during Santa Ana winds events Noise, dust, and safety hazard from big haul trucks on local streets No Site-Specific Environmental Impact Report provided for this project Lack of automated monitoring – neighbors have to monitor for violations

stop Mesa Rock Concrete Crushing facility

This is a horrible idea and it seems that there may be some investigating needed to be done to see why this is being allowed in an area that is a high fire danger risk almost 100% of the year. This is wrong.

I don't know what to say except, "Are you kidding me?" The noise and air pollution alone should stop this project in its tracks. If you state "studies have been done" I would counter with the fact that I could show you a study to prove anything. I would suggest members of the Board of Supervisors PERSONALLY visit concrete/asphalt crushing sites in the state and see, hear and breathe first hand what you are placing near several neighborhoods.

After several thousand dollars in political contributions to Bill Horn, the DeJongs got their parcels re-zoned for industrial use. That re-zoning was followed by more thousands in contributions. In 2015 the County said a full Environmental Impact Report was required for the project to move forward. In 2018, Jim Desmond was elected as a County Supervisor for this area after the DeJongs donated $1,600 to his campaign. In 2019 the DeJongs’ project was reborn after the County says an EIR is no longer needed and will not explain why their earlier decision was reversed. Jim Desmond served on the San Marcos City Council while Rick Gittings was San Marcos City Manager. Gittings has worked for the DeJongs for several years, including on this project. When things don’t make sense – follow the money and the relationships. https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/investigations/controversial-north-county-recycling-facility-moves-forward-despite-communitys-objections/2354421/

This is the wrong place for this facility.

Too much of a fire hasard for the North Area of Escondido.

Supervisor Horn, in collusion with the Hilltop Group (follow the money) - pushed through a very shady approval to spot zone this high impact industrial activity in the middle of a residential area. A large percentage of residents living within this area have been fighting against this obviously suspicious action, raising strong, valid concerns regarding the activity: decreased air quality, consequences to health, constant noise six days a week for mostly every waking hour, increased heavy traffic, decreased property values, the list goes on. Add in the criminal activity against the environment that this company has engaged in (and prosecuted for) to include illegal dumping and failing to monitor environmental emissions, etc., and we have a recipe for a major disaster on many fronts to include the health of the residents, and extreme fire danger in a highly flammable area. The collective community is against this project. PLEASE EXPLAIN TO US, the residents who have been shoved to the wayside and not given a voice, WHY THIS PROJECT MUST BE IN THIS RESIDENTIAL AREA. Furthermore, it seems a waiver has been granted to Hilltop to avoid having to file an Environmental Impact Report! The people who live in this community deserve to know why this project keeps moving forward without any attention given to our concerns. We can only come to the conclusion that someone's pockets are being lined very well.

Very bad environmentally and health wise and also a fire hazard for the surrounding communities

Supervisor Horn was able to carve out this very special piece of property when he instigated the Supervisor's redistricting. How did the Supervisors change the zoning to Heavy Industry and why is no EIR required for this massive polluting project? An investigation of the how and the why needs to be conducted.

This is not the right area
