This is a Major Reason Family Housing should not be built at Marinwood Plaza.


Families living at Marinwood Village will be exposed to Roadway Pollutants.

California Senate Bill- 352 (enacted in 2003)

 
Senate Bill 352 was written with the intent of protecting school children from health risks posed by pollution from heavy freeway traffic and other nonstationary sources in the same way that they are protected from industrial pollution.

This bill requires school district to ensure that schools are not located on an old hazardous waste site, a hazardous release site, or a site that contains pipelines that carries hazardous substances.

The school district must prepare an environmental impact or negative declaration and consult with local district to identify both permitted and non-permitted facilities, freeways and other busy traffic corridors, large agricultural operations, and railyards. In addition, school site boundaries cannot be located within 500 feet from the edge of the closest traffic lane of a freeway or busy traffic corridor unless appropriate air dispersion modeling shows that the air quality at the proposed site is such that neither a short-term nor long-term exposure poses significant health risks to pupils.

 
(Seems to me it would be very,very hard to control the exhaust (particulates) from cars and ,trucks (18 wheelers and industrial-diesel trucks) especially along 101).
 Unless the government mandates automobile drivers must use electric or hydrogen or solar powered vehicles>> is that coming ?
