LBAM Aerial Spray - The Real Costs

Over 700 square miles of highly populated areas of the California Central Coast will be sprayed with a new untested pesticide by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). The spray will be released from airplanes in the dark of night at 300 to 700 feet above homes and schools. They will spray residents every 30 to 90 days for years to come.

Residents are not allowed to know all the ingredients of the aerial spray because it would supposedly violate trade secret laws.

Aerial spraying is planned to start June 1, 2008 in Monterey and Santa Cruz counties and on August 1, 2008 for San Francisco Bay Area communities.


What are the real costs to the 9 counties that will be sprayed by airplanes with an untested biochemical pesticide?

If Santa Cruz County tourism is reduced by 10% because of aerial spraying, it will cost the community $64.5 million a year. If tourism is reduced by 10% in all nine counties sprayed, that will cost $2 BILLION in one year!

If real estate values in Santa Cruz County are reduced by 10% because of aerial spraying, it will cost the community $7.7 billion a year. If real estate values are reduced by 10% in all nine counties sprayed, that will cost $168.33 BILLION a year!

If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area watch this video. You are going to be aerial sprayed with pesticides beginning this summer (2008), every 30 days, 9 months a year, for several years. Thank you for posting this video.
