In May 2011, a chorus of organizations and individuals submitted comments on the scope of the yet-to-be-written Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the “Koch-Kawar New Farm Project.”

Others called on County officials to carefully study a litany of negative impacts from the project, from traffic and air pollution to loss of drinking water supplies and fertile agricultural land.
