Why Am I Against The Pump Water Storage Project?
1. I am concerned about water contamination from sediment disruption and from toxic soils on the base.
2. I am concerned about air quality as the contaminated soils of the base will be majorly disturbed.
3. I am concerned about fish kill and the disruption of aquatic habitat.
4. I am concerned about the "pond" structure itself. This isn't just a hole dug into the ground, a large part of the water storage is above ground level, 10 meters above ground level. What are the safety and aesthetic implications?
5. I consider this a huge burden on nearby residents who made a decision to move to a beautiful and relatively peaceful location with an understanding of what could and could not happen there. Shelling - yes. Occasional troop convoys and maneuvers - yes. Massive multi-year construction for an industrial power project - no.
