What's New
We think its is dead. With a 5-0 vote of the regional planning commission against the project it is unlikely that this proposal would be overridden by the Board of Supervisors. In a few year look for a "new project" at the same site.

a Major Stumble the Report on the 8-20-99 meeting held by Congressmen
McKeon
LA County, Transit Mix's EIR people, and the BLM have refused to make the EIR available in electronic form. We have offered to publish it on this site without cost. It there various position that the few paper copies are sufficient and the public has no need to see the full document
We believe that this refusal is sufficient to get a court order blocking the acceptance of the EIR until the full EIR is made public. We are requesting that Congressman McKeon ask the BLM to extend the EIS until they make it available to Electronic form
July 14, 1999 - L.A. County Regional Planning Commission Meeting
Public Hearing on the Draft EIR for the Proposed Project at Valencia High School 4:00 p.m. A regularly scheduled meeting of the L.A.

The Vanguards attempts to get information
12-11-96
The first request from this newspaper
which states in part "May I suggest that you provide us with a copy of the EIR in
electronic form and we will post it on our Internet site. This will reduce the number of copies that need to be distributed throughout the
community. It will eliminate problems with people claiming they do not have access to it
since many people in the community have Internet access. and goes on to say please
add my name to the notice list. Our name was not added to list
3-20-99 Second
request from this newspaper got nothing
4-7-99 Written
testimony at the April 7 1999 Transit Mix hearing. The comment period for Transit
Mix DEIR has been extended to 6-14-99 by the LA Regional Planning Commission at today's
(4-7-99) meeting. We have requested an electronic copy be made available to us to post on
this site for the public to read and be Informed. LA county is sending us a hardcopy to
review after Transit Mix refused to provided this newspaper either an electronic or
paper copy.
1-14-97 See our 2 year old story on Calmat shutting down its mining project "For lack of need' contrast to Transit mix's claim of "running out of material" This was done by LA County Regional Planning at a 1-14-97 Hearing concerning "Surface Mining Permit & Reclamation Plan SM96144 Calmat Company 14212 Lang Station Road, Canyon".
4-12-99 We finally
got the DEIR in hard copy for LA County Regional Planning. Transit Mix and the Consultants
have still refused to make it available in electronic form. We can't scan a thousand pages
so we will keep trying to get an electronic copy and start scanning the most important
pages. Anyone with an automatic High speed scanner want to help?
6-23-99 We now have a hardcopy of the
EIS
