THE SIGNAL

“Chiquita Canyon agrees to more rules”

“One neighbor who was one of more than 200 plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit against the landfill made a request early Tuesday that has yet to be addressed by regulators.

“My children are getting sicker. My friends are getting sicker,” Sarah Olaguez, a Val Verde resident, said Tuesday, calling for the landfill to take more drastic actions to help residents. “We no longer have clean, safe air to breathe. We can no longer open our windows, enjoy our yard or simply take a walk. We go home and breathe this in while we sleep. We need real action. We need to be moved away from this air.””
