The Issue

The people of San Bernardino and The Verdemont Neighborhood Association request your signature to have the Oxbow Cement Pile of Rubble removed from the top of Palm Avenue. Due to current concerns for the Health, Safety and Environmental Impact on the area and surrounding neighborhoods. Please join us in Petitioning for removal of the material waste that has been dumped at the top of Palm Avenue. Please support us by signing today.

We have a meeting scheduled this Saturday, April 17, 2021 at 9am, to address the Oxbow Cement situation we have been dealing with for almost a year. (Redlands fire: Amazon distribution center goes up in flames - CNN). They unloaded 1,200 trucks of contaminated cement in our area and now intend to crush this cement onsite.

I know you care about this area, please help us to preserve our area for the health of our neighbors, our aquifers and a nearby water basin. 

We had our meeting and a rally will be held on Tuesday! Join us if you can.

Come let our voices be heard!

Thank you.
