From the transcript
Good evening, assembly members. My name is Darcy Morgan, and I'm here in opposition to old business OR 26-16, the shooting range classification on Zero Lake Road. As you all know, my cabin sits less than a quarter mile, or about 1,000 feet, feet downrange from the proposed site. We are approaching a year of this process, and throughout that time, we've continued to raise serious concerns about the site safety, wildfire risks, environmental impacts, potential lead contamination, poor access, and most importantly, the proximity to private occupied property. The problem is not the lack of information.
