CLEAN presses on, wants task force

I posted here on January 21, 2007 a pat on the back to organization called CLEAN for its willingness to get real answers to their questions regarding any disadvantages there might be in having as a neighbor a plant in Newark that manufactures ethanol.

Citizen Leaders for Environmental Advocacy in our Neighborhoods - or CLEAN - has taken the position that "the proposed site is too close to residential areas, the hospital, our schools, colleges, parks, and local businesses. Our concerns include pollution, noise, odor, increased truck and train traffic, emergency response, property values, and water safety, water usage, and the long term economic prosperity of this area. The City of Newark needs to be held accountable for all of these concerns regarding the proposed ethanol plant and begin the process of looking at an alternative site."

You can get information from them directly about their agenda, which includes setting up an official task force to research the proposed ethanol plant in Newark. E-mail them at cleancoalition@yahoo.com
