RIVERSIDE ---- A doctor told Riverside County officials Tuesday more than 100 Temecula-area doctors oppose a proposed quarry that would be carved out of the rugged hills southwest of the city, because of concerns it would harm area residents and particularly children.
Dr. Daniel Robbins, a Temecula pediatrician, said, "It's directly upwind from where my patients live."
His wife, Kristi Rutz-Robbins, a Temecula Valley Unified School District board trustee, also spoke out against the Liberty Quarry project during a public comment period at Tuesday's county Board of Supervisors meeting.
"I would just like for you to remember me and remember the children when you begin to act on this permit," she said.
The county is in the process of finalizing an environmental impact study of the project.
