`Hell No` to a Park and Homes at El Toro

The gondola on the bright orange balloon is as empty as dreams that the Great Park offers.
(IRVINE, Calif.) -
It was a moderately dreary Sunday at the old El Toro Marine Corps Air Station in Irvine. We've written about the place many times. I was stationed there as a Marine in the 1980's and I've always remained fairly nostalgic about this piece of Marine Corps history that closed in 1999.
There was a slight chill in the air on this day, and a big obnoxious orange bag of hot air floating over El Toro, which means "The Bull" in Spanish.
MCAS El Toro's history includes a severe impact on the children and educators of the former El Toro School.
(IRVINE, Calif.) -
Marines are sick and dying from their contact with toxins at MCAS El Toro, such as TCE, a chemical used to clean jet fighters; but Marines aren't the only victims.
El Toro School kids, whose small bodies are less resistant to contamination with deadly pollutants, may have even less of a chance of weathering this storm.

(LAGUNA BEACH, Calif.) -
A recent article in the OC Register about the City of Irvine and EPA “greenwash” of water quality impairments at the former USMCAS El Toro is disturbing; it strikes a sore nerve, an open wound that won't heal.
It’s an insult to those who have already experienced injury and death, Marines and civilian vendors alike, plus other emerging casualties.
Camp Lejeune’s adverse health effects have affected an estimated 500,000 veterans and dependents, leaving many unable to work and lacking health care, in desperate situations.
(REDDING, Calif.) -
A number of veterans and dependents of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune continue to suffer from cancer linked to their exposure to organic solvents like trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene, and benzene in the base wells.
Teresa Trantham of Redding, CA, a breast cancer survivor, is a former dependent of a Camp Lejeune Marine.
The El Toro Marine Base is unfit for habitation; dead Marines do tell tales.
(IRVINE, Calif.) -
The ruins of a Marine base in Southern California are a silent reminder of the dishonest tactics of Irvine, Lennar Corp., and the Great Parks Corp.
Their unrealistic plans to build a subdivision on the extremely contaminated MCAS El Toro, will never come to pass.
