From the Tule Lake Committee:
“… ACT to help save the historic Tule Lake concentration camp and segregation center site from destruction”
“The Tule Lake concentration camp is located in Modoc County in Northern California, and is recognized as the infamous segregation center where Japanese Americans who protested the mass incarceration were punished for speaking out.”
…The Federal Aviation Administration is proposing construction of an eight-foot-high, three-mile-long fence around the perimeter of the airport…
“In July 2014, the Tule Lake Committee sought legally mandated environmental review of the entire airport area, which occupies two-thirds of the former Tule Lake site. However, instead of conducting careful examination of the entire area WITHIN the fence project, including subsurface review, the county and the FAA have argued their environmental responsibility is confined to surveying only a narrow strip of land where the three-mile-long fence would directly lie.”
Modoc County has requested comments on the Tulelake Airport.
The deadline for comments by Oct. 10, 2017 at 5 p.m.
