Your action kit

Sourced arguments and ready-to-send letters — every figure links to a primary record. Edit to add your own story.

Process

Demand a full, public review — not a rubber stamp.

Ask for an independent noise study, a water-and-power impact assessment, enforceable conditions (setbacks, hours, cooling type), and that the record stays open for written comment. Procedural shortcuts have voided approvals elsewhere.

Public comment (editable)

Edit freely before sending — it's a starting point. Add your own story; personal comments carry the most weight.
