Dear Mr. Temple,
This email is in response to an item on this evening’s City Council Agenda.
I work in an around the Los Cerritos Wetlands and I am concerned about the proposed project for a solar
array to power the oil infrastructure at the Hellman property. Not only will this project result in
environmental damages from impacts of solar panels and increasing fossil fuel emissions from oil, but it
also prolongs the life of the oilfield that must ultimately be restored to wetlands. Remnant wetlands are
few and far between and they must be throughly protected. The solar project should be denied or a t least
require a full EIR and significant mitigation and ultimately fund the restoration of the land after the oilfield
is retired.
Thank you for your time,
Neysa Frechette
