 The Santa Clarita Disaster Coalition (SCVDC) has joined the City of Santa Clarita and U.S. Congressman Howard P. "Buck" McKeon in their efforts to stop the proposed CEMEX mega-mine in Soledad Canyon, on the northeast edge of the city limits.Santa Clarita Mayor Laurene Weste expressed her pleasure with the Coalition's decision in an exclusive interview conducted by local journalist Stephen K. Peeples for this site and My Santa Clarita .com, the SCV's premier community website. Representative McKeon's Soledad Canyon Mine Leases Adjustment Act, HR 5471, would avert this colossal ecological and quality-of-life disaster-in-the-making by providing CEMEX alternate locations to mine, and keeping mining in Soledad Canyon at historic or current levels. However, as McKeon's bill is discussed in the fall session of Congress, the House Resources Committee in Washington, D.C. and other Federal leaders need to hear we locals are united behind the proposed legislation. There's a lot you can do to help with just a few clicks of your mouse.
