Railyard Cleanup Project Public Meeting

The City has been maintaining pressure on the agencies involved in the Railyard Cleanup Project to reduce the number of releases, increase testing, and increase public transparency and messaging regarding the project.  

While the City recognizes that the agencies involved in the Railyard Project have made a number of positive changes to their processes over the last few weeks, releases continue to occur, and the City has asked for additional improvements, testing, and more proactive management and messaging coming directly from the Railyard Project agencies to our citizens. 

Today, the agencies involved in the Railyard Cleanup Project announced a Community Open House on Monday, August 26th, from 6 pm to 7:30 pm at the Dunsmuir Community Center. The City encourages all residents to attend to learn more about the project and get their questions answered by subject matter experts.

The City encourages residents to report each and every release from the railyard project to the State Warning Center at 1-800-852-7550. 

The City will continue to provide updates on the project as we receive new information. However, for the latest information about the Railyard Project, visit the California Department of Fish and Wildlife project page (link). The EPA also has provided a project overview here (link).

If you have any questions regarding the Railyard Project, contact Union Pacific - Peggy Ygbuhay, Sr. Director of Public Affairs with Union Pacific Railroad, at (916) 789-5957.
