Representative Anna Eshoo Responds to RCNU Supporters’ Letters Opposing the Saltworks Project

Redwood City Neighbors United's membership continues to engage with elected leadership on the local, state, and national level. Representative Anna Eshoo recently responded to RCNU members' letters opposing the Saltworks project and urging oversight of Cargill's recent jurisdictional determination request:

Thank you for contacting me about potential uses for, as well as federal jurisdiction over, Cargill 's Redwood City salt production land. I welcome your input on this very important issue.

Because of the unique location of this property near San Francisco Bay, any decisions regarding its future use should respect the community 's environmental concerns . As you might know, I was successful in securing funding to purchase Bair Island (which also was used for salt production) and  made it part of the Don Edwards San Francisco National Wildlife Refuge.  I've monitored this issue very closely for several years and continue to do so.

I was especially interested to hear your concern about the Army Corps of Engineers' and  the  Environmental Protection Agency's jurisdictional review processes. You can rest assured I will keep your views in mind.

If you have any other questions or comments, let me hear from you.  I value what my constituents say to me, and I always need your thoughts and benefit from your ideas.

...

Most gratefully,

Anna G. Eshoo
Member of Congress
