Oct. 17: SCOPE to Host Viewing of Fracking Film

gaslandYou’re Invited to a Fracking Film Night

(and SCOPE Meeting)

THURSDAY Oct. 17th 7PM-9PM

at Vincenzo’s Pizza

(
24504 1/2 Lyons Ave. Newhall)
to view “Gasland”, the movie and discuss how fracking might affect our community



What’s all the fuss about this new gas and oil extraction technique?

Hear why SCOPE is concerned that recent legislation  may not have gone far enough to protect the public.

Join in the discussion.


The Santa Clarita Valley has many oil wells that have been subject to “stimulation”. SCOPE believes that we need safeguards to ensure that the public and our water supply is protected.

 Sanitation District Approves Final Environmental Impact Report for Salt Removal Plan The Board of the SCV Sanitation District has recommended Alternative 4, delaying salt removal facilities and potentially subjecting Santa Clarita residents to fines for failure to comply with state remediation orders. Was this decision made to hold prices down for development while shifting those costs onto the backs of residents? We think the answer to this question may be “Yes.” You can read our comments here.

Court Hearing on First Phase

of Newhall Ranch
A Norwalk Judge spent five days earlier this month hearing detailed oral arguments from attorneys for SCOPE and other plaintiffs as to why Lennar’s environmental documents for this project were inaccurate and should be rejected. He will now issue a tentative decision and has informed all parties that he intends to take further oral arguments on that matter before proceding to a final decision. If you would like to attend this hearing, just let us know, and we’ll send you ride share details.
