Dozens of Central Valley residents are planning to gather in Fresno to voice their opposition to a plan to expand dumping they say will bring dangerous waste to the region. On March 20, residents and environmental justice advocates plan to protest on the steps of Fresno City Hall against a proposed expansion of hazardous waste dumping that could permit city landfills to take more contaminated soil. … According to a news release from the California Environmental Justice Coalition, the plan threatens air and water quality, public health, and community safety, especially in communities already burdened by pollution.
