Board of Supervisors should deny expansion of harmful greenhouses and mushroom farms.
A denser mosaic of industrial greenhouses and mushroom farms is not what supporters of protecting Coyote Valley envisioned for the Valley’s agricultural and natural landscapes. Allowing the expansion of industrial-scale greenhouses and mushroom farms will harm soil, water and habitat connectivity in Coyote Valley.
Mushroom farms add the potential of polluting our waterways. Monterey Mushrooms Inc., the largest industry in Coyote Valley, has a history of environmental violations. This includes a 2001 Cleanup and Abatement Order for unauthorized discharges of process-related wastewater to drainage channels and to a percolation pond. In 2018, Monterey Mushrooms was sued by the Santa Clara County District Attorney for intentionally dumping toxic wastewater from its holding ponds into Fisher Creek.
The potential for environmental harm by industrial farming effluents — whether released intentionally, by accident or due to extreme storm events — is substantial.
