Speak Up for A Healthy South Bay Shoreline

Jan 24, 2011

The City of San Jose is currently considering how best to use the 2,600-acre site of the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant as they sustainably rebuild their wastewater treatment facilities. Possibilities include a state-of-the-art treatment facility that could help reduce Bay pollution as well as returning some of the site to natural wetlands and wildlife habitat.

There are several workshops this week open to the public to give your comments about how best to revitalize this important shoreline area.

Tuesday, January 25 – 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Santa Clara Library, 2635 Homestead Rd., Santa Clara

Thursday, January 27 – 6:00-8:00 p.m.
Cupertino Community Hall, 10350 Torre Ave., Cupertino

Saturday, January 29 – 9:30-11:30 a.m.
Barbara Lee Senior Center, 40 N. Milpitas Blvd., Milpitas

Can’t attend a workshop? Explore the draft recommended alternative through an interactive map and provide comments by Sunday, January 30. Visit www.rebuildtheplant.org or call 408-945-5182 for more information.
