June 14, 2018 RTC Meeting Handout for Item 22 Agron Bioenergy 860 West Beach Street Watsonville CA 95076 Office 831 383 1300: Fax 831 786 8508 George Dondero Executive Director Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission 1523 Pacific Ave Santa Cruz, CA 95060 6/7/2018 Dear Mr Dondero, We are writing to you to express our serious concern about the status of the short rail line from Santa Cruz to Watsonville. The rail line is out of service as the operator cannot afford to inspect nor repair it. Rail is essential to our business, so we urge you to support the Sant Cruz RTC in approving Progressive Rail as the new operator of the short line so normal rail service can resume. Agron Bioenergy owns a multi-million-dollar Biodiesel plant on West Beach street in the disadvantaged city of Watsonville. The plant processes waste animal fats into fuel. Agron’s business plan relies on moving large amounts of freight by rail; the Agron site was purchased with the ability to spot 6 railcars for offload in mind. The anticipated rail traffic by late Q3 is around 20 railcars of raw materials a week. Agron’s plant is one of the largest biodiesel plants in California, and as such it supports both the reductions in criteria emissions and the reduction in greenhouse gases that are central to California’s emissions strategy for community and environmental health. Agron will reduce the overall carbon dioxide emissions in California by over 10000 metric tons in 2019. Agron anticipates producing 12m gallons of fuel; to be sold Watsonville. The fuel sales will bring extensive tax revenue to the city. The plant will have 18 full time specialized workers, and bring in close to $60m in revenue, supporting local businesses; general contractors, electricians, and plumbers to name but a few. It’s essential for the business to have rail transit to survive, and, imperative for Watsonville to have a working rail service to support Agron as well as other businesses. To this end I urge you to do all you can to support the approval of Progressive Rail as the new operator of the Santa Cruz short line. Sincerely, Roxby Hartley Operations Director, Agron Bioenergy Bradley Wilson President of Western Iowa Energy and Agron Bioenergy Agron Bioenergy 860 West Beach Street Watsonville CA 95076 Office 831 728 1300: Fax 831 786 8508 6 June 2018 Dear RTC Commissioner and Watsonville Mayor Lowell Hurst, As Watsonville residents, we are asking for your support for rail transit along the Santa Cruz Branch Line. South County residents need you to keep this as a viable option along the coastal corridor. Since the current operator, Iowa Pacific, is no longer a good fit, we urge you to expedite the agreement with Progressive Rail as the operator along this corridor. We know that the negotiation process with various rail companies has been comprehensive, taking in the needs of the Santa Cruz County community as a whole. Progressive Rail seems to be a good fit for our county. Expediting the agreement with Progressive Rail as the operator along this corridor, will allow businesses to keep freight transit running along this corridor, and bring us closer to the vision of healthier, more efficient and more cost effective transportation choices! The Santa Cruz Branch Line is a very valuable public resource. Please work to bring Progressive Rail under contract as soon as possible. Moving this process forward in a timely manner will give us the transit options we need for building a future of multiple transportation alternatives in Santa Cruz County. We thank you for your time and consideration of this matter. Sincerely, Anna Kammer and Dan Fallorina Watsonville Residents June 8, 2018 Chair John Leopold and Commissioners Santa Cruz County Regional Transportation Commission 1523 Pacific Avenue Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Re: Approve the Proposed Contract with Progressive Rail Dear Chair Leopold and Commissioners: I am writing on behalf of the Santa Cruz Area Chamber of Commerce regarding the process for selecting a replacement rail operator for the Santa Cruz Branch Line (SCBL). From all that I have read and reviewed this process was initiated when the current freight rail line operator, Iowa Pacific notified the Commission that it could not meet its obligation last December. During the past six months, I have inquired with your staff to fully understand the process and to ensure that there is an active operator on the line as soon as possible. The staff has completed their due diligence process and negotiated what appears to be a fair and mutually beneficial contract with Progressive Rail. The Chamber would like to see the proposed agreement be finalized now which would be in the best interests of our community for many reasons including the following: 1. Current RTC policy is to keep the track in place and pursue development of passenger rail, while building the trail. 2. RTC must have an operator on the line to serve freight customers. 3. The current operator is in financial straits and wants to end their obligations on this line. 4. RTC staff’s evaluation of Progressive Rail and concluded that they are capable, and sound business people. They have integrity, are good neighbors in the communities they serve, and they treat their employees well. 5. RTC is committed to the California Transportation Commission (CTC), the federal Surface Transportation Board (STB) and the Federal Railway Administration (FRA) to provide continuous freight service. 6. RTC is also committed to the CTC to provide excursion service. 7. After the RTC completes the Unified Corridor Investment Study, you will make a decision on future use of the rail corridor. 8. If they decide to keep the tracks in place, and authorize Progressive Rail to run excursion service, the agreement continues for ten years. 9. If the RTC decides to remove the tracks and only build a trail, then PGR may end the agreement. This would be a reversal of current RTC policy, delay building of the trail and likely lose grant funds already secured. 10.The most cost effective and efficient path forward is to keep the rail and build the trail, and approve the agreement with Progressive.

Please do not put our community, our businesses, our workers, nor the SCBL at any further risk. Please execute the proposed contract with Progressive Rail. Thank you in advance for considering the view of the Santa Cruz Area Chamber and our 600 plus members who strive to promote economic vitality for our region.

The material contains many factual errors, exaggerations and distortions that, if true, would deserve concern. This memorandum will provide some clarity on the facts. 1. Progressive Rail Execs Sued for Fraud RTC Response: There are two lawsuits – one filed by the U.S. Government, and another filed as a class action suit. According to Progressive Rail, their executives are not named individually in the government suit, and “The class action suit alleges that we were complicit in a cover-up, which is meritless and without fact. The notion that we were protectors of the founders could not be further from the truth. We upheld our fiduciary responsibilities to the shareholders.” Class action suits typically name as many people as possible, knowing full well that only a few may be actually held accountable for the named actions. 2. Stories from Progressive’s Midwest Towns RTC Response: • Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Fine – The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency did fine Progressive Rail $75,000. However, this fine was issued due to a trucking company employee spilling much of the contents of one rail car during transloading at a property owned by Progressive Rail. While Progressive Rail was assessed the fine because it occurred on company property, the railroad’s personnel did not cause the spill. • Bridgewater Township, MN – Proposed Ethanol Facility – Dave Fellon and other advocates did pursue construction of an ethanol plant in Bridgewater Township, MN, even appearing regularly on a radio show to discuss the proposed development with the public. While the ethanol plant wasn’t constructed there, others have been constructed in southern Minnesota, taking advantage of the local corn supply. According to the Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association, the state hosts 19 such plants and is the fourth largest ethanol producer in the country. Please see: https://www.mnbiofuels.org/resources/production-in-minnesota. • Eagle Point, WI – Proposed Road Closure – Due to a spike in train traffic on the Wisconsin Northern Railroad (owned by Progressive Rail), Progressive Rail has pursued a petition to close a lightly-travelled town road in an effort to reduce train blockages at a rail crossing on a busy county road one mile south.

The study seeks to determine whether there have been discernable changes in vegetation alliances (communities), spatially or in type, within a 110-acre Study Area from the early twentieth century to the present day and how the changes compare with other similar historical analyses in California. Historical farming and ranching uses of the area are researched, and two family case studies are presented as paradigms of potential changes to vegetation as well as the connectivity with the larger socioeconomic context of Italian immigration into California. Examination of the vegetation alliances over the course of the historical study period utilizes several types of historical imagery, including twentieth-century aerial photography, ground level photography and nineteenth-century maps.

  • 240 Years of Ranching Historical Research, Field Surveys, Oral
    240 Years of Ranching Historical Research, Field Surveys, Oral Interviews, Significance Criteria, and Management Recommendations for Ranching Districts and Sites in the San Diego Region By Sue A. Wade Stephen R. Van Wormer Heather Thomson September 8, 2009 i ABSTRACT Livestock have grazed on the grasslands of Southern California from the time the first Europeans arrived in the 1700s until the present day. Within a few years of the establishment of the first Spanish missions, thousands of horses, cattle, and sheep grazed on the coastal mesas, inland valleys, and mountain foothills. After the Mexican revolution in 1821 and the subsequent secularization of the missions, the California rancheros continued raising livestock on the open range. Thus, during the Spanish and Mexican periods, from the 1770s until the 1840s, the base economy of California depended on open-range cattle. During this time, cattle were primarily raised for their hides, some used locally, but the majority brought by the thousands to the coastal ports and traded to Americans for transport to the United States East Coast. After the American takeover of California in 1848 and the discovery of gold in Northern California the following year, the cattle industry continued to prosper by producing meat to feed the thousands of emigrants and gold-rushers in Northern California. Although impacted by droughts in the 1860s, the cattle meat industry continued to be viable until the 1880s. In the late nineteenth century, as a result of the rampant promotion of Southern California by land speculators and several years of exceptional rains that supported dry-land farming, much of the prime agricultural land of Southern California was homesteaded by American farming families.

  • Butano State Park
    2 E XISTING C ONDITIONS Photo on reverse: Año Nuevo Island from the mainland Año Nuevo State Park and State Natural Reserve Preliminary General Plan and Draft EIR March 2008 C HAPTER 2: E XISTING C ONDITIONS 2.1 REGIONAL LAND USE Land use patterns in the Santa Cruz Mountains and along the San Mateo and Santa Cruz county coasts have not changed dramatically in the recent past. Agriculture, parks and natural lands, public and private campgrounds and resorts, and private homes are the major land uses in the region. The general character of land use surrounding Año Nuevo SP and SNR is a mixture of natural lands, state parks, coastal terrace agriculture, and scattered low density rural residential properties. This region is relatively unpopulated and undeveloped in contrast to the dense urban areas to the east and north of the parks. Larger properties in the region are owned by corporations and religious institutions and are used as private retreats. There are private timber-producing properties on the north side of Butano SP and Big Basin Redwoods SP, north of Año Nuevo SNR and SP. Año Nuevo SP shares borders with Big Basin Redwoods SP, Butano SP, and the Peninsula Open Space Trust’s Cloverdale Coastal Ranches, undeveloped natural lands property to the west. To the north are Pigeon Point Light Station SHP, Portola Redwoods SP and Pescadero Creek County Park along with several other recreational and natural areas. Between Año Nuevo SP and Big Basin Redwoods SP there are private rural residential properties and lands used for agriculture. On Año Nuevo SP’s west side, the private Costanoa recreational resort development offers overnight lodging and trails that connect to parks and natural lands in the area.

Cattelino, Chair Mainstream American environmental education (EE) programs often place undue privilege on inquiry-based scientific epistemologies and settler colonial wilderness ideologies (Cronon 1995b, Wolfe 2006) as the primary drivers in determining program design. Those programs in the urban setting add an environmental justice layer to these frameworks, by focusing their efforts on underserved minority youth. Specifically, they take them to nature and teach through science in an effort to provide an informed, equitable experience that might cultivate a love of nature and future environmental stewardship. In Los Angeles, the programs offered by the century-old Los Angeles Audubon Society (LAAS) and a few other local non-profits and nature centers pride their innovative (though increasingly common) focus on local place-based nature ii excursions for underserved youth, often seeking to foster environmental experiences within the source schools.
