    I support the appeal and oppose the use permit for this project. This project should be located away from the community and sensitive receptors, away from environmentally sensitive areas like waterways and wetlands, and should be on land zoned for industrial use. Upper Lake should not be used as collateral damage to settle the Red Hills Bioenergy lawsuit (Case CV421326). The County should not have leased this parcel for this project. This property was purchased with state funds under an agreement with the Department of Water Resources to “protect or enhance flood protection corridors while preserving or enhancing wildlife value for properties located at the north end of Clear Lake.” This project threatens the sensitive ecosystem around Rodman Slough, the waterways that feed into Clear Lake, nearby agricultural resources, the clean air in the Upper Lake Valley, and the health and quality of life for Upper Lake residents, the Community, and wildlife.
