I completely fail to understand the rationale behind when they use Avenir and when they use Frutiger on this sign.

*This* is the kind of sign issue we need an executive order to fix.

The United Heckathorn Superfund site in Richmond continues to house dangerous pollutants, including DDT, right along #SFBay shoreline. It's time to clean it up!

This Thursday, join us at EPA's latest community discussion on Zoom. The meeting will focus on the health & ecological risk assessments of the site.

We encourage all Richmond residents to join the meeting and put pressure on EPA officials to properly clean up the pollution!

Residents of Richmond, a city on the east side of San Francisco Bay, are growing increasingly concerned about a string of mysterious
—and often violent—bird deaths that seem to have no obvious explanation.

The deaths all seem to follow a similar pattern:
After a bird lands on a specific stretch of power line,
residents hear a loud popping sound, akin to a firecracker, reports KGO-TV’s Dion Lim.

Then, they see the creature’s body fall to the pavement.

A doorbell camera captured one of the strange fatalities on video, too.

The inexplicable incidents have killed mourning doves, European starlings, crows and other common backyard species.

Attention, Richmonders! The United Heckathorn Superfund site is a major source of pollutants contaminating #SFBay & the Richmond shoreline. The site was supposed to be cleaned up in the 90s, but that effort failed.

The EPA is working on a plan to get the site cleaned up and is holding a series of meetings to raise awareness and hear community concerns.

The next meeting will be held on Zoom on Wednesday, 5/21 from 6:30-8:00pm. The discussion will focus on why the first cleanup was ineffective.

Attention #Richmond residents! A Superfund site known as #UnitedHeckathorn is a major source of DDT and other pollutants contaminating the Bay and shoreline. The site was supposed to be cleaned up in the 90s, but that effort failed. We want to make sure that doesn’t happen again.

On 4/23 the #EPA will host a Zoom call to engage with the community where they will describe why the last cleanup failed and the plan to move forward.

Please bring your questions for EPA and state officials! https://usepa.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/8SlhuBdVTZ-xuoEGnusbZA#/registration
