TAKE ACTION NOW
What we do here matters—and the decisions made today will shape this place for generations to come.
Join us in demanding that the District conduct thorough environmental studies, comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), prepare a full and comprehensive Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and commit to responsible decision-making that safeguards the health and safety of neighbors, the public, wildlife, and the Wild & Scenic Lower American River and Parkway.

While the public comment period for the Notice of Preparation and the Initial Study for the District’s sport and event stadium at Rio Americano has closed, the District has stated that input provided will be used to inform the scope and content of the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR).Tell the District what should be studied and included in the DEIR, including:
Insist that the District prepare a full and comprehensive DEIR not a limited or focused DEIR for the Rio Americano stadium project. Request that a full comprehensive DEIR be prepared that accurately documents and studies all impacts beyond the project and campus footprint, evaluate all impacts to the neighborhoods, community, public, wildlife, and the Wild and Scenic Lower American River Parkway, cumulative impacts and others that will be impacted by the stadium project, operations, increased capacity and planned use(s).
Insist on full disclosure and transparency for this project, and all other projects at Rio Americano, including, but not limited to, the cell phone tower, removal/construction of the tennis courts and pool, and that all cumulative impacts from these projects are fully analyzed.
Insist the District provide better communications, updates on new information, postings, and notice of this and other projects at Rio Americano to the public, surrounding neighborhoods and communities (on both sides of the river and areas surrounding project – current reach and actions not adequate), parkway users, environmental and American River Parkway stakeholders, government entities (state, local, federal), and other interested members of public.
