MVCAC is one level higher on the ponzi scheme the joint powers authority have pulled over on the public to pocket tax money. This membership is exclusive to its members the board of trustees and managers who go on expensive unnecessary trips. The board spends more money on themselves than was spent on work hazard improvements and training necessary to do my job.
Conspiracy to Hide Spraying From Employees 2004-2010
The fish hatchery holds 13 rearing ponds. The fish manager and the district manager assign the applicators to assist in all aspects of the oppeartions. No training was ever provided to me personally or to our group that educated us in this area. All MVCAC members tell the public the fish are a biological measure to mosquito control is the benefit of the fish. They intentionally mislead the public. The aquacultures used to maintain the ponds are carcinogens like the formalin, some are corrosives. I can’t tell you all the hazards because I was never trained or informed by my employer. They sent me for medical care with symptoms aligning with over exposure to formaldehyde and did not tell me or my treating physician.

Formaldehyde – Material Safety Data Sheet
CDI and DIR believe there are improper arrangements in place between some medical providers and employers that allow the employer to dictate how injuries are to be classified by the physicians. In some cases, and at the request of the employers, the physicians send the DFR only to the employers and not to the insurance carriers.
This arrangement occurs even though the injuries clearly are beyond first aid.
This agreement is often marketed to employers as a way to keep premiums from rising or to lower them. Such marketing practices are both improper and may also contribute to possible criminal violations related to premium fraud and the fraudulent denial of workers’ compensation benefits to injured workers.

Supplement information I found in researching the requirements for the White Slough Fish Hatchery Operations.
Note that the EPA requirements that other ponds are required to comply with are completely ignored by the vector agency.
I found this manual dated 2003 on the MVCAC website. I have never received training for fish hatchery operations. My employer never disclosed the aquaculture products used in fish operations. I was able to find this 77 page manual which openly admits they use formaldehyde in their fish hatchery operations.
