Urgent Action Needed

Dear Treasured Friends, supporters, foundations & donors of Walden’s Puddle:

We are asking for your help & support with an urgent issue that will affect the very survival of Walden’s Puddle. It is of great concern to our entire community, people & animals.There is no doubt that this Industrial facility belongs in a zoned industrial area, if allowed to be built near us, would cause us to shut down!! Sick Injured & orphaned animals cannot be held in captivity & subjected to extreme stress caused by the noise level which hit decibels three times what is normal in a rural area.

KNOWN STRESSORS THESE COMPRESSORS CAUSE THAT OCCUR WITH THEIR FUNCTION INCLUDE:

  1. HIGH NOISE DECIBELS/SOUND LEVELS
  2. HIGH LEVELS OF VIBRATIONS OF WHICH ANIMALS ARE SENSITIVE
  3. TOXIC AIR EMISSIONS
  4. GROUND WATER CONTAMINATION (WE ARE ON A WELL)

YOUR URGENT ACTION IS NEEDED TO HELP STOP THE PIPELINE COMPRESSOR STATION!

The ordinance (BL2015-1210) introduced by Councilman Lonnell Matthews to restrict gas compressor stations to property zoned for industrial use will go before the Metropolitan Planning Commission for recommendation this Thursday, June 25th at 4:00 PM. The ordinance is item 17 on the agenda.

Even if you can’t attend please email or call the Planning Commissioners & ask them to support Councilman Matthews’ Ordinance BL2015-1210! Contact information is below.
