Community Petition to Napa Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission


We the undersigned concerned citizens oppose the Walt Ranch Expansion Project #11-00205-ECP. The destruction of 500+ acres to net approximately 356 acres of vineyard will adversly affect the Capell Creek and Milliken Creek watersheds, which supply water and ecological services to hundreds of residents in Circle Oaks, Capell Valley, and the Atlas Peak/ Milliken Creek areas. In addition, this development would cause significant adverse effects to people residing in Circle Oaks, including but not limited to the health and safety of residents caused by increased heavy truck/equipment traffic, noise, blasting, dust, road damage, and pesticide drift. 28,600+ trees would be destroyed resulting in massive loss of fragile woodland habitat and the wildlife it supports, fire hazard through burning slash and grubbing, and dewatering of the aquifer. We respectfully request that the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors protect its rural citizens by denying the requested project.
