Please attend this Important Meeting
Some background:
- A series of spills and releases of toxic materials starting in 2006 alerted Chimalus residents that large quantities of cyanides, acids, and other extremely hazardous materials are used on a daily basis right behind our homes.
- CPI maintains a plating shop on the second floor of Building 2. This is particularly dangerous in an earthquake environment.
- CPI was allowed to vastly increase the amounts of hazardous materials on this site without any notice to the neighborhood or any public review.
- The City of Palo Alto ordered a study of the toxics, possible amortization, and zoning updates that was to have been completed by December of 2012. Now, over a year later, the report will be presented.
