City Ignores Belmont Pollution Scandal

 Belmont Park is violating its lease across the board.  Every action requires specific written City approval—boom lifts, trailers, chemical storage, signage—everything.  But we’ve searched, and no approvals can be found.

Uncovered 50-gallon drums of oil and chemicals sit outside.   Boom lifts and forklifts are stored in public parking.   Trash is piled instead of properly contained.  A large portable bathroom trailer sits in front of the historic Plunge—unsightly, unapproved, and unsanitary.

A food trailer sits on the boardwalk—again, no written City approval.

Much of the visible wiring appears unsafe or out of code.Staff are expected to clean hazardous areas without proper safety gear, and water is dumped into storm drains, polluting the beach.

This is not on workers—it’s a management failure by Pacifica Enterprises and Dario De Luca.

The lease is being ignored. The law is being broken. The City is silent.

It’s time for enforcement, accountability, and an end to this reckless abuse of public land.
