Citizen’s Petition to Stop Development on Contaminated Land

A local Colorado resident living near Rocky Flats has started a petition to oppose development on contaminated land around the Rocky Flats site. The petition already has nearly 2,000 signatures! People who live near Rocky Flats deserve to be informed about contamination in the soil and air, and the building of the Jefferson Parkway will not only stir up contamination in the soil but lay the groundwork for expansive future development of homes in the area. Here is the petition: “Building a tolled four-lane highway and future hiking and biking trails on Rocky Flats Wildlife Refuge, formerly Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant, will cause plutonium and other radioactive materials to be released into the air, soil and water endangering the health, safety and well-being of surrounding communities. We need to set a precedent to every superfund site that any development on former nuclear sites is not acceptable!”
