Please place the Ormond Beach Halaco site in Oxnard as a Superfund
site. But we feel that an additional step is necessary: to have all
of the material deposited by Halaco in the Ormond Beach wetlands
removed so that the site can be restored to its original condition.
Selection of the Halaco site for Superfund status is just one part of
the vision many of us share regarding Ormond's future. Our vision
won't be complete until all toxic material deposited in the heart of
Ormond is removed and the site is restored to its prior habitat values.
There are approximately 710,000 cubic yards of waste that make up the
Halaco slag heap. This has been described as 24 football fields,
piled to 10 feet deep. Yes, it will be an enormous process to remove
that material. But failing to do so will mean that it will continue
to be a problem forever.
Suggestions have been made to cap the toxic pile to facilitate
development of the site. This would leave us with a ticking time bomb
of carcinogenic and radioactive materials continuously leaching into
local waters, and it would destroy the prospects of restoring
Ormond's ecological system.
It needs to be clean up and restored to it's original, unpolluted
beautiful beach!
