#1 THREAT TO SAN PEDRO AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES.....
25 MILLION GALLONS OF LPG/BUTANE STORED AT
2110 N. GAFFEY STREET, SAN PEDRO!!!!!!!
SAN PEDRO'S THREAT:An informed public is a positive force for our families' safety. Our homes were here BEFORE these tanks were built! The City of LA KNEW they were allowing the Liquid Petroleum Gas (butane) tanks to be built on the PV Fault and in a liquefaction zone. The Port planned and built "Energy Island" as a safe-haven for hazardous facilities. Congresswoman Jane Harman secured MILLIONS of Federal tax dollars to build the island predicated on Public Safety! Instead it's become a container terminal!
WE PAID...THE HAZARDS STAYED! A recent "Risk Analysis" of this facility estimates a blast radius from an EXPLOSION at Rancho LPG could exceed 6.7 miles!!! Within a 3-mile radius we estimated there are 20 elementary schools, 9 high schools, 2 hospitals, 9 LAFD and LAPD stations, the Coast Guard HQ, Harbor College, the Vincent Thomas Bridge, 110 Freeway, the Port of LA, many churches, and thousands of homes and businesses. TIME IS NOT ON OUR SIDE!!! TELL THE CITY, STATE AND FEDS TO MOVE THIS FACILITY NOW!!! WE NEED YOUR PARTICIPATION. (SIGN A PETITION) Review the report below, as well as other documents related to this issue. (Some of the files below are large and may take a few minutes to download). June 28, 2013. Email to Senator Barbara Boxer. Attachments to above email follow: 1977 Article 1; 1977 Article 2; EPA Letter to Rancho; Article about Bob Bea. April, 2013 - Letter to: Mr. Don Holmstrom, Supervisor, Chemical Safety Board Letter to Steve Cooley from our retired LA DA Prosecutor Pro Bono Atty, Anthony Patchett
