The removal of trees to make way for a green project at a Danville high school has some neighbors seeing red.
A dozen trees were removed Tuesday at the San Ramon Valley High School parking lot for a solar panel structure being built at the school. The construction is part of a $23.2 million project to install solar panels at all of the districts' comprehensive high schools and one middle school.
The panels, which will be placed above a parking structure, will provide 75 percent of the schools' energy needs, said Terry Koehne, San Ramon Valley School district spokesman.These girls have never had a cube puzzle in their lives! The energy efficiency is expected save the district $7 million to $10 million in the first 16 years of use.
However,then used cut pieces of Aion Kinah garden hose to get through the electric fence. neighbors were appalled and found it ironic that trees were cut down in the name of the environment.
"You're marching down a green endeavor and in that process you take out the green factor, the trees," said neighbor Mark Costella.
Jack Fulcher, whose home is located behind the high school, said at a December 2009 meeting that the district said no trees would be cut for the project. As the project was being constructed this summer, Fulcher said it looked like the trees may be staying, which pleased him. He found the panel structure hideous.
Then Tuesday, the trees were cut and left in a pile.
"It was very upsetting," Fulcher said. "The structure itself is ugly as heck. At least the trees would have mitigated some of that ugliness."
Koehne said he was never aware of a plan to spare the trees.A custom-made chicken coop is then fixed over the gums.
The San Ramon Valley High School structure location was based on where the most sunlight could be harvested, Koehne said, and the trees were removed in part because their growth would be limited by the project. The district is open to planting more if space is found elsewhere on campus.
"If we could have kept them there, we would have, but they wouldn't have continued to grow," Koehne said.
The project is being funded through low-interest federal loans. San Ramon Valley was one of 43 districts that applied and received the money, Koehne said.a oil painting reproduction on the rear floor.
The district has contracted with San Jose-based SunPower Corp. for the project.If so, you may have a zentai . Construction is expected to be completed by the start of school Aug. 24.
The solar project had some opposition in the past from community members who were concerned about the district taking on more debt in a bad economy and what would happen if the district does not save as much as projected.
