Stop the Scholl Power Plant Now

On October 6, 2021, the Glendale Planning Commission UNANIMOUSLY rejected Glendale Water and Power’s plan to construct a power plant at Scholl Canyon Landfill.  But then on November 30, the City Council Members, despite overwhelming community opposition, overruled the Planning Commission’s sound and thoughtful decision.  Now it’s up to the citizens of Glendale and nearby communities to STOP this power plant and the effects it will have on OUR HEALTH, OUR HOMES AND OUR HILLSIDES.

GOCHA is asking for donations to help finance legal action to stop a power plant from being built at the Scholl Canyon Landfill.  Since we are a volunteer non-profit organization, we cannot pursue this legal action without you.

Click on the link below to learn more, donate and watch a video by GOCHA President, Rick Marquis.

To  donate by check, mail donations to:

GOCHA
P.O. Box 9949, Glendale CA 91226-0949

This power plant would affect all of us, not just those who live in the surrounding canyons but all the residents of Glendale, Eagle Rock, and Pasadena.

Thank you for your support and generous donations.

GOCHA IS A 501c4 organization.  Donations are not tax deductible.  All proceeds will be used for current and future legal fees related to Scholl Landfill.
