Thank you, New Times, for considering the sensitive issue facing the Huasna Valley (“We’ll get back to you,” July 21).
I attended four of the five meetings referred to in Colin Rigley’s story, and for the life of me, I can’t figure out why the county would approve a project that may do so much financial harm to our county.
This single project, with its problems, if approved, may be only the first of many failing oil ventures in our county.
What’s at stake? The reputation that SLO County has become pro-oil development! What will that mean to residents? A huge cost to the county in reduced property values and property taxes and specifically, if you live within a neighborhood where oil may be explored (that impact potentially covers dozens of square miles), you may not be able to sell your home! That’s right: You may not be able to sell your home! And it’s already happening today; would you buy a home in an oil field?
What is the bigger picture if the county becomes pro-oil development? Retiring couples and second-home purchasers attracted to our area will avoid rural areas in SLO County and may consider other coastal counties like Santa Barbara or Monterey County; small business owners looking to invest and relocate to SLO for an improved lifestyle may be put off by a pro-oil development energy plan; disgruntled residents impacted by pro-oil may choose to relocate.
Pristine beaches, stunning coastal valleys, clean air, low crime, a top-notch university—a great place to live, work, learn, retire and visit! What business are we in in San Luis Obispo County?

The Huasna Valley and its surrounding neighbors in Tar Spring and all users of the Huasna corridor are going to be forced to live with this project, if approved. The Huasna Valley Association, a group of concerned citizens, is making a plea to everyone who loves Huasna to participate in this process of scoping, molding, and scrutinizing this oil project.
Is this project compatible with our community standards?
If any of the project’s impacts are missed, ignored or
The financial promise that this project holds for its investors may lead to the exploitation of the land and its resources, with little consideration for its residents. No one plans to have a disaster, but they happen as a part of doing business – oil spills, fire, loss of life. We must guard against that. The first step in the protection of our valley is to ensure that the County adequately analyzes all of the project’s potential impacts and considers all potentially feasible mitigation measures and alternatives.
As a neighborhood, let us remain strong, committed, and proactive and participate in this process! If you would like more information - please contact the HVA and show up at meetings!
