Irked about a South County press release, Orange County’s airport
planning office this week said the anti-airport cities had
“misrepresented facts and incorrectly extrapolated figures.”
The county’s El Toro Local Redevelopment Authority, the planning arm
for an airport at the closed El Toro Marine base, released the statements
in a six-page response.
The county also accused the El Toro Reuse Planning Authority, the nine
South County cities fighting to stop the airport, of exaggerating the
health risks of an airport.
In a news release announcing the submittal of nearly 300 questions and
comments about the county’s environmental report, anti-airport
spokeswoman Meg Waters said the county underestimated the negative
effects of smog and traffic caused by an airport at El Toro.
