The Rainbow Community Planning Group has stated that the Pala Band of
Mission Indians has responded to its latest written plea (Aug. 19) for
help in regards to a noise issue coming from Pala Raceway that they say
is disrupting peaceful living. Unfortunately it wasn’t the answer they
were hoping to hear.
RCPG chairman Dennis Sanford said the group received a letter dated
Aug. 29 from Pala Chairman Robert Smith, which essentially said noise
from the raceway does not exceed legal limits and the Tribe would not
require the operators of the raceway to take any further steps to reduce
noise.
"We have no proof of the sound levels as their study results were
not shared and we had no access [to them]," said Sanford. "County
ordinances govern noise levels being emitted from various sources. We
have been told by the Tribe that because they are a "sovereign nation"
they can do whatever they want and are not subject to various laws and
ordinances."

In regards to taking any other measures to reduce noise emitting from
the track, Smith said those measures would be "prohibitively expensive."
