This new legislation will protect San Onofre State Beach and Trestles from any type of road construction. <br /><div><br /></div><div>The valiant effort to Save Trestles has been a long and winding road (no pun intended). The first step in this battle was the formation of our mighty Save San Onofre Coalition (SSOC), which represents millions of people from local and national organizations. In 2005, SSOC first came together when over 1,000 activists showed up at a Parks and Recreation Commission hearing to speak out against a six-lane toll road that would have cut through San Onofre State Beach — <i>damaging the last remaining undeveloped watershed in southern California, the world-famous surf break at Trestles Beach, multiple endangered species, and sacred Indigenous sites. </i><br /><br />Over the course of a decade, SSOC mounted a historic activist-led opposition against the toll road development . In 2008, this formidable coalition organized the largest public turn out in Coastal Commission history, where over 3,500 people attended the Commission hearing and the road was unanimously rejected. Following the Coastal Commission vote, toll road developers appealed to overturn the Commission’s decision. But the appeal decision didn’t stop our activists. Once again, we organized — thousands of people attended the Department of Commerce hearing, voicing strong opposition to the toll road — and we won again.<br /><br />SSOC continued our winning streak in 2013, 2014 and 2015, when both the State and Regional Water Quality Control Boards rejected TCA’s attempts to build the road in “segments.”<br /><br />These victories, over the course of a decade, helped us achieve a landmark lawsuit settlement in 2016 that banned toll road developers from building in the park.<i> Unfortunately, in 2017 two lawsuits were filed by the City of San Clemente and The Reserve Management Corporation to undo our park protections, and that is precisely why this new legislation is so important!</i><br /><br />AB 1426 shores up protections we have fought so hard for, codifies the judicial decree that currently protects San Onofre State Beach, the Donna O’Neill Land Conservancy, and the San Mateo Watershed, and validates nearly 20 years of grassroots advocacy. <br /><br />The word “historic” is often overused, but in light of this legislation, today truly is a historic day. This legislation, and previous lawsuit settlements, is the culmination of years of hard work to Save Trestles and brings an end to one of the hardest fought, longest-lasting environmental battles in California’s history. <b>This victory would have not been possible without the thousands of passionate and motivated advocates who stood our ground to FOREVER save Trestles. </b><br /><br /> </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com601tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921702483719745.post-39312876073416360492020-08-31T15:34:00.007-07:002020-09-16T12:50:50.316-07:00Urge Governor Newsom to Permanently Protect San Onofre!<p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBvq38FbJDBY97K6JDZRmOedGsznO598KP-DMutnP-gGPOkySKPiHLfzTWgQ7O_zxcYX8StC44ZiEdjRABsWr-bmzBDhx_WSR2P9Km1wJEAOklPCMkDBzE8Q_AnIZZLl5OY0CMj4txdLk/s1000/rally+sized.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="703" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBvq38FbJDBY97K6JDZRmOedGsznO598KP-DMutnP-gGPOkySKPiHLfzTWgQ7O_zxcYX8StC44ZiEdjRABsWr-bmzBDhx_WSR2P9Km1wJEAOklPCMkDBzE8Q_AnIZZLl5OY0CMj4txdLk/s640/rally+sized.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><br />Surfrider and the Save San Onofre Coalition are thrilled to report that the California legislature passed a bill, AB 1426, that will permanently protect San Onofre State Beach.

Surfrider can attest to the accuracy of this statement. Even when we have fought and won a battle to protect a special place, that victory must constantly be maintained. Which is now the case, as we fight to maintain our victory to Save Trestles forever. <br /><br />For over 15 years, Surfrider has tirelessly fought to stop toll road construction through San Onofre State Beach. San Onofre State Beach, California’s 5th most visited state park, is home to the last remaining undeveloped watershed in southern California and houses ten federally-threatened or endangered species.

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Recently, Camp Pendleton issued a <a href="https://www.pendleton.marines.mil/News/News-Article-Display/Article/2164371/mciwestcamp-pendleton-supports-three-year-extension-of-current-state-park-lease/"><span style="color: #0072bc;">statement</span></a> regarding an extension of the lease at San Onofre State Beach. The Surfrider Foundation was pleased to learn about the support to extend the lease three years for San Onofre State Beach. The original lease was set to expire in 2021. A lease extension is exciting to both Surfrider and our partners in the Save San Onofre Coalition who have been working together for more than 15 years to protect the 5th most visited state park from road construction. San Onofre is truly a world-class park—home to the last remaining undeveloped watershed in Southern California, world-famous Trestles Beach, and ten federally-threatened or endangered species. San Onofre State Beach also protects sensitive cultural resources, including the ancient Acjachemen village of Panhe. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Surfrider believes a lease extenstion will provide the Department of the Navy (DON), which owns the Camp Pendleton property, with a path towards planning for a long-term lease renewal of San Onofre. The timing of the park lease extension would coincide with the decommissioning and dismantlement of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS). In 2024, an easement between Camp Pendleton and SONGS’ operators is set to expire. Surfrider believes a park lease extension will provide the DON with additional time to collectively analyze the issues regarding the park and SONGS leases. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Over the years, Camp Pendleton has been an incredible steward of the land—mindful of public access while protecting the environment, endangered species and cultural resources. Surfrider looks forward to working with local stakeholders, including the DON, Camp Pendleton, California State Parks and the San Onofre Parks Foundation as a new future unfolds for San Onofre State Beach. As Surfrider has done for several decades, we will continue our work to protect this treasured park for generations to come.

At the TCA’s March 12 board meeting, they voted to narrow the scope of their planning process for south Orange County to a single alternative. The Save San Onofre Coalition (SSOC) is pleased to see the developments unfold at this meeting. After public comment consisting of over 50 speakers, the TCA selected Alternative #22 un-tolled as its only project to move forward for analysis in Southern Orange County.<br />
<br />
Alternative #22 would be an extension of the already existing Los Patrones Parkway from its current terminus at Cow Camp Rd to a new terminus at La Pata. OCTA would take the lead on construction of this extension which would remain a county arterial on which tolls would not be charged.<br />
<br />
This decision came after many months of tension with residents, organizations, and governmental agencies. This move by the TCA marked an end to all of the alignments that had stirred local controversy.<br />
<br />
Throughout this process, the SSOC has steadfastly and successfully defended in court its hard-won agreements protecting San Onofre State Beach from roadway development. Hopefully, TCA’s pursuit of Alternative #22 will persuade those challenging those protections to finally drop their lawsuits.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your continued support to keep San Onofre State Beach free from any roadway construction. These protections would have been impossible without the support of conscientious and concerned citizens. And with your continued vigilance and support, the SSOC will continue to protect this park for future generations to come!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com674tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921702483719745.post-62985466567277490112019-04-25T14:55:00.001-07:002019-04-25T14:55:38.567-07:00SAVE TRESTLES LEGISLATIVE UPDATE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For almost two decades, the Save San Onofre Coalition has fought to prevent highway infrastructure through San Onofre State Beach, which is one of the top five most-visited state parks in California. The park protects the last remaining undeveloped watershed in southern California, is home to the world-famous Trestles Beach, and houses ten federally-threatened or endangered species. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(136, 136, 136); color: #888888; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Over the past 15 years our coalition has won many victories to protect this world-class park. In 2008, thousands of activists showed up to the Coastal Commission hearing, defeating the permitting of a 6-lane toll road and fight for park protections. And during our hard-fought lawsuit and settlement negotiations, we received support from the California Attorney General and many other agencies and leaders to ensure the park was protected from a toll road. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(136, 136, 136); color: #888888; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
While we successfully settled the lawsuit and secured an agreement that bans Toll Road Developers from building a road through the park, we are concerned about recent statements by local government officials calling for building road construction through San Onofre State Beach and other protected conservation land. Such statements defy the decades-long battle to protect the park and, once again, put San Onofre State Beach at risk. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(136, 136, 136); color: #888888; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Last week, Assemblymember Tasha Boerner-Horvath introduced a bill which aims to shore up protections for San Onofre State Beach. The bill promptly passed successfully through committee.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(136, 136, 136); color: #888888; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
The Save San Onofre Coalition seeks to mobilize elected officials, municipalities, and members of the public to take action supporting this bill so that it will pass into law. In the early days of the fight, many leaders, municipalities, and thousands of members of the public endorsed our cause, writing letters, signing petitions, and passing resolutions supporting the protection of San Onofre State Beach. Now, we’re reaching out to inform you of this crucial bill which stands to create additional protections for San Onofre.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; caret-color: rgb(136, 136, 136); color: #888888; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">
We will continue to update you as this bill works its way through the legislative process. In the coming months, we will ask that you reinforce your support for the protection of San Onofre State Beach through communications with the legislature.

In November 2016, after 15 years of battling the Transportation Corridor Agency’s 241 Toll Road extension, the Save San Onofre Coalition (SSOC) entered into a lawsuit settlement and signed a Protective Agreement which protects San Onofre State Park and most of the San Mateo Watershed from road construction in this precious open space. In July 2017, the San Clemente City Council filed a lawsuit seeking to invalidate this Protective Agreement and open the protected area back up to consideration for roadway construction. Apart from requiring the SSOC to defend the Protective Agreement in costly litigation, this action sent a powerful and disconcerting message that the San Clemente City Council could be ok with roadway construction through California’s 5th most visited state park. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
During the past year, council members have expressed interest in extending Avenida La Pata to Cristianitos Rd – a road that would cut through San Onofre State Park. The Save San Onofre Coalition expressed concern that the San Clemente City Council was interested in this arterial. We were worried about this potential road alignment because this arterial construction through the park would pose many of the same detrimental impacts as the southern part of the previously proposed 241 Toll Road extension that we fought against for 15 years. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
On March 1, 2018, the San Clemente City Council held a <a href="http://www.sanclementetimes.com/citys-traffic-study-claims-arterial-highways-alleviate-traffic-without-proposed-toll-roads/" style="color: purple;">press conference</a>to announce the results of an Arterial and Mobility Study performed by the IBI Group. This study was conducted to determine the congestion reduction utility of four different roadway development alternatives or “packages.” The study analyzed the traffic releif benefit of the hypothetical La Pata – Cristianitos connection as well as the original 241 Toll Road alignment through San Onofre. <a href="http://www.san-clemente.org/home/showdocument?id=44408" style="color: purple;">The IBI study found that there is virtually no traffic benefit in building an arterial or toll road through San Onofre State Park.</a><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
At the City Council’s March 6, 2018 meeting, the IBI engineers presented these same conclusions to the San Clemente City Council. At that meeting, Councilmembers Lori Donchak and Kathy Ward both express opposition to a toll road through San Onofre State Park in their post-presentation comments. <a href="https://youtu.be/UznwFLG2Rtc" style="color: purple;">(Beginning 24:15)</a>After Councilmember comments, the council voted to submit an arterial plan that excludes both the La Pata – Cristianitos connection and the 241 Toll Road extension through San Onofre State Park. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
As far as the SSOC is concerned, the conclusions of this IBI study are great news. The study shows that there is no need for any road through San Onofre State Park, and the San Clemente City Council is now on record as not pursuing such a road. We are thankful for the City Councilmembers who have spoken out against the toll road through San Onofre both from the dias and in <a href="http://www.sanclementetimes.com/city-council-corner-city-councilman-opposes-toll-road-extension-san-clemente/" style="color: purple;">print media</a>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
The other great news about the conclusions of this IBI Study is that it presents an opportunity for the San Clemente City Council to suspend it’s lawsuit. The City Council’s lawsuit against the TCA and the SSOC only seeks to invalidate the Protective Agreement which prohibits road construction through the Avoidance Area. Since the City Council has now gone on record supporting a plan which excludes any such road construction it has no reason to invalidate the Protective Agreement. If the City Council is no longer studying or advocating for a road through the park and the open space protected in the Avoidance Area, there is no longer any motivation to include this important open space in any future discussion of roadway construction. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: medium; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Common sense dictates that the San Clemente City Council could save significant taxpayer money and effort by suspending its lawsuit.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Despite the Save San Onofre Coalition (SSOC) winning a
15-year battle to protect San Onofre State Beach from a toll road development,
and settling a <b><a href="http://www.surfrider.org/coastal-blog/entry/trestles-saved-forever">lawsuit</a>
</b>to codify permanent protection of the park, <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Yu Mincho"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">the City Council of San
Clemente and the Reserve Management Corporation filed lawsuits to </span><a href="http://savetrestles.surfrider.org/2017/08/defend-trestles-and-san-onofre-park.html"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Yu Mincho"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;"><b>undo
our historic settlement</b></span></a><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Yu Mincho"; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast;">. </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Clearly, these lawsuits are disheartening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, what is even more concerning is that
for the past year a false narrative has been circulating around San Clemente about
SSOC’s <b><a href="http://www.surfrider.org/coastal-blog/entry/trestles-saved-forever">lawsuit
settlement</a> </b>with the Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA). In July of
2017, rather than sitting down with SSOC to learn more about the Protective
Agreement secured to save San Onofre State Beach, the San Clemente City
Council chose to perpetuate flat-out misinformation. As recently <a href="https://www.ocregister.com/2018/02/12/tca-report-criticizes-san-clementes-campaign-against-toll-road/">reported</a>, the public learned the City Council hired a PR firm. Upon reading a memo from the <b><a href="http://savesanonofrepark.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/EKAStrategyProposalbrackets.pdf">PR firm</a>, </b>we learned the City Council spent taxpayer funds to drive a mistruth
that SSOC took a $30 million payout during the settlement negotiations.<br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
SSOC did not receive a $30 million bribe, or any other
amount of money. Not even a $1.00. As clearly stated in the Settlement
Agreement, $28 million was set aside by TCA in a conservation fund to be spent
on mitigation if the TCA builds any project that impacts the area’s
environment. This money is held by the TCA and can only be used on conservation
efforts such as habitat restoration, land acquisition, and other activities
that preserve and restore San Mateo Creek and its watershed. None of the funds
in the conservation fund has ever been, nor ever will be, paid to SSOC or its
members organizations. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not only is the narrative that SSOC took a huge payout patently
false, but unfortunately it is coming directly from elected officials and staff
at the City of San Clemente. Starting in March of 2017, San Clemente City Councilmembers
introduced the idea that SSOC took huge sums of money from the TCA. Following these
misstatements, we attended a later City Council meeting and asked them to
correct their misstatements. To this day, no such correction, even in light of
black-and-white text proving otherwise, has been made. Instead, city officials
continue to perpetuate this knowingly false narrative. This <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adqxyaMsd7I&feature=youtu.be"><b>video</b></a>
shows the misinformation being espoused from the dais and SSOC testifying to
set the record straight (this was from nearly a year ago!). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While it is a shame that SSOC was subject of a false
narrative, drummed up by a taxpayer-funded PR campaign, the most disturbing element
is that San Clemente residents were fed misinformation by their own elected officials.
Hiring a PR firm was not the misdeed. The misdeed was engaging in a misinformation
campaign that pitted neighbor against neighbor.<span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Matthew%20Klink" datetime="2018-02-14T17:25"> </ins></span>Rather
than sit down with SSOC and engage in constructive dialogue, city officials chose
to misrepresent the protective agreement SSOC won in a 15-year-long battle to
protect San Onofre State Beach. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
San Clemente residents, how are our city’s elected officials
using our tax dollars? Why did the City Council and staff knowingly spread
false information? To find out more about the importance of protecting the Park
read the resources we have<b> <a href="http://savesanonofrepark.org/">here</a></b>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

The SSOC is comprised of 12 national and local organizations
representing millions of Californians with Staff members and constituents living
in South Orange county and San Clemente. <o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Gotham A', 'Gotham B', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">After 15 years of hard work by thousands of passionate advocates, the Surfrider Foundation and Save San Onofre Coalition signed a historic settlement agreement that forever saved the Trestles surf break and San Onofre State Beach. This agreement protected a state park enjoyed by millions that contributes more than $8 million annually to the economy of San Clemente. The settlement brought an end to one of the most hard-fought environmental battles in California history, protecting the coastline for current and future generations.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Gotham A', 'Gotham B', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Gotham A', 'Gotham B', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Gotham A', 'Gotham B', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Gotham A', 'Gotham B', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Now, Trestles and San Onofre State Beach are again threatened.

By filing the lawsuits, the San Clemente City Council and The Reserve Corporation are both supporting a toll road route that would devastate San Onofre State Beach. </span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Gotham A', 'Gotham B', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="font-family: 'Gotham A', 'Gotham B', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Gotham A', 'Gotham B', sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Gotham A', 'Gotham B', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700;">We need your help! <a href="https://secured.surfrider.org/action/engagement?actionId=AR0011153&id=701i00000018YoU">Sign our petition</a> now to show your support for San Onofre State Beach and your opposition to the attempts to reverse the hard fought permanent protection of Trestles and the state park. </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1482tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921702483719745.post-28191112616784960372017-08-09T13:05:00.002-07:002017-08-09T13:12:39.082-07:00Two Wrongs Don't make a Right <div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Gotham A', 'Gotham B', sans-serif; font-size: 16.200000762939453px;">
Congressman Issa and the City of San Clemente should know that "two wrongs don't make a right." But that doesn’t appear to be the case because they are both trying to dismantle a lawsuit settlement that permanently protects San Onofre State Beach. The lawsuit <a data-cke-saved-href="http://www.surfrider.org/coastal-blog/entry/trestles-saved-forever" href="http://www.surfrider.org/coastal-blog/entry/trestles-saved-forever" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0072bc; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: color 0.15s ease-out;">settlement</a> was reached between Save San Onofre Coalition (SSOC) and the Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA) after a 15-year battle to protect San Onofre from a toll road.<br />

</div>
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Congressman Issa flat out <a data-cke-saved-href="http://www.ocregister.com/2017/07/11/rep-darrell-issa-opposes-proposed-toll-road-extension-scenarios-in-south-county/" href="http://www.ocregister.com/2017/07/11/rep-darrell-issa-opposes-proposed-toll-road-extension-scenarios-in-south-county/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0072bc; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.15s ease-out;">said</a> that he wants to undo the settlement and work with the Marines to build a road through the park. Then, this week, the City of San Clemente <a data-cke-saved-href="http://www.ocregister.com/2017/07/19/san-clemente-will-sue-tca-explore-arterial-alternatives-to-241-toll-toad-extension/" href="http://www.ocregister.com/2017/07/19/san-clemente-will-sue-tca-explore-arterial-alternatives-to-241-toll-toad-extension/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #0072bc; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: 0.15s ease-out;">announced</a> it will file a lawsuit against the TCA challenging the settlement that permanently protects the park. By filing a lawsuit, the City is effectively saying they want a road to go through the Park. The SSOC is not making that assumption flippantly. In addition to wanting to undo our protective lawsuit, city councilmembers said at a March 21 council meeting that they “want an arterial that connects La Pata to Cristianitos”—that, my friends, is secret code for “build a road through the park.” </div>

Look, we understand there are going to be diverging ideas amongst local communities about the best way to solve traffic—but one thing is exceptionally clear—thousands of people have already adamantly opposed building a road through a park. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Gotham A', 'Gotham B', sans-serif; font-size: 16.200000762939453px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Gotham A', 'Gotham B', sans-serif; font-size: 16.200000762939453px;">
Remember the 4,000 of us who attended the Coastal Commission hearing and the 3,500 who attended the Secretary of Commerce hearing in 2008 to protect San Onofre? Oh, and lest not forget the many state and federal agencies that rejected the road numerous times. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Gotham A', 'Gotham B', sans-serif; font-size: 16.200000762939453px;">
It's extremely tone deaf to dig up these tried-and-failed plans again. It has been proven repeatedly that people from around the world cherish San Onofre State Beach—California’s 5th most visited state park that brings in 2.5 million visitors a year who contribute to the local economy. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Gotham A', 'Gotham B', sans-serif; font-size: 16.200000762939453px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: 'Gotham A', 'Gotham B', sans-serif; font-size: 16.200000762939453px;">
News flash: It’s time to move on! Building a road through a State Park is an outdated idea that sabotages the majority voice. However, if the City of San Clemente and Mr. Issa want to target the Park again, the SSOC is ready to do what we have done successfully for 15 years—rally thousands of people to protect our beloved park from a road, and influence the flawed decision-making. </div>

Over San Onofre State Beach<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s hard to believe that 11 years ago, in November 2005,
the first throng of Save Trestles supporters showed up at a Parks and
Recreation Commission hearing to speak out against a six-lane toll road that
was proposed to cut through San Onofre State Beach—irreparably harming the park
and surrounding watershed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That particular meeting kicked off what later became a historic
campaign.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That fateful Parks and Recreation hearing brought together
many different local and national organizations, and, as serendipity would have
it, those groups officially started organizing and formed the Save San Onofre Coalition
(SSOC). The 12 organizations that make up SSOC represent millions of people who
cherish the park and the surrounding watershed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Over the course of a decade, the SSOC would create
history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This formidable coalition
organized the largest public turn out in Coastal Commission history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 2008, nearly 4,000 people attended the
Commission hearing where the road was unanimously rejected. Following the Coastal
Commission vote, the <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 12.0pt;">Transportation
Corridor Agencies (TCA) </span>appealed to the Bush Administration to overturn
the Commission decision.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the TCA’s
appeal decision didn’t stop our activists. Once again we organized! More than 3,500
attended the Department of Commerce hearing to voice strong opposition to the
toll road that threatened San Onofre State Beach. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
SSOC continued our winning streak in 2013, 2014 and 2015, when
both the State and Regional Water Quality Control Boards rejected TCA’s attempts
to build the road in “segments.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
These victories, over the course of a decade, helped us
arrive where we are today – achieving a landmark settlement that forever saves
Trestles!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This agreement <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 12.0pt;">settles five
lawsuits brought by the SSOC and the California Attorney General and requires
the TCA to rescind its 2006 approval of the so-called “Green Alignment” that
would have run through San Onofre State Beach (SOSB) and its 2013 approval of
its Tesoro Extension project, the first segment of the Foothill South.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 12.0pt;">The most
significant and most hard-fought aspect of the settlement carves out “avoidance
areas” that requires TCA to refrain from building or funding a road project
within an area that includes San Onofre State Beach, the Richard and Donna
O’Neill Conservancy and other critical open space, wildlife habitat and
cultural resources in the San Mateo Creek watershed.<span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:Matthew%20N.%20Klink" datetime="2016-11-07T15:06"> </ins></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 12.0pt;">In addition to
the avoidance areas, the settlement establishes a $28 million conservation fund
to help preserve and restore San Mateo Creek and its watershed. View a summary

statement <span style="color: blue;">here</span>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The word “historic” is often over-used, but in light of this
settlement, today truly is a historic day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This settlement culminates a decade of hard work to save San Onofre and brings
an end to one of the most hard fought, long-lasting environmental battles in
California history. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

SAN DIEGO REGIONAL WATER QUALITY BOARD REJECTS ORANGE COUNTY TOLL ROAD PERMITS</h1>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Alegreya Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em;">
<span style="font-weight: 600;">SAN DIEGO </span>— The San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board today rebuffed the Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency (TCA) in its attempts to secure a necessary water quality permit for its Tesoro Extension project. The Board voted unanimously 6 to 0 to adopt findings that reinforced its decision of June 2013, when the Regional Board rejected the requested Waste Discharge Requirements permit because the full project impacts of the entire road were not disclosed to it. <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The Save San Onofre Coalition applauds the Board’s decision. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Alegreya Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em;">
The Tesoro Extension comprises the first five miles of TCA’s plan to connect the 241 toll road in Orange County to Interstate 5 in San Diego County. The project is part of TCA’s 16-mile toll road project that would bisect San Onofre State Beach, California’s fifth most popular state park, and protected natural lands in the Donna O’Neill Conservancy. If the full project is built, the state parks department has indicated it will abandon 60% of the state park because of the damage the toll road would cause.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Alegreya Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em;">
The Board rejected TCA’s application for a Waste Discharge Requirements permit because TCA had failed to adequately disclose and mitigate the damage the project would cause to water quality and other natural resources. The vote today to adopt legal findings explaining why it rejected the toll road project represents the third time the Board has voted to stop the 241 extension project because of environmental concerns.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Alegreya Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5em;">
The TCA has spent more than $300 million in public funding for a project that has been repeatedly turned down. In fact, 78 percent of Orange County opposes building the proposed toll road through San Onofre State Beach, according to an August 2014 poll. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“The Board today
voted to protect our water quality, our parks and beaches from this destructive
toll road project. We commend the Board for upholding California’s water
quality laws and protecting the public interest,” commented Goldstein.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“The Board
responded to the overwhelming evidence that the Tesoro Extension is no more
than an attempt to commence construction of a larger, environmentally destructive
that has been rejected by the Board and every other agency that has considered
the project to-date.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">“This project
needs to be rethought from the ground up, or abandoned, rather than twisted to
accommodate every rejection the TCA experiences.”</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: 1.5em;"> </span></div>

Our last <a href="http://savetrestles.surfrider.org/2015/02/save-trestles-again-help-topple-toll.html">blog</a> re-capped how "we got here"... Toll road developers want to build their road in "segments."<br />
<br />
Please help us stop them. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.actnow.surfrider.org/surfrider/app/write-a-letter?0&engagementId=80504"><span style="font-size: large;">Send a letter to the Regional Water Board </span></a>asking them to "adopt the Staff Findings for the denial of the Tesoro Extension."<br />
<br />
The sure-fire way to stop them is to show up in person on March 16th in San Diego. The hearing is scheduled to start at 9am, however try to arrive before 9am. Fortunately, they reserved a bigger venue this time, but showing up early always guarantees you have a place to watch the drama unfold. Surfrider will post talking points to this website as the hearing nears. In the meantime, we have a <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/788584987901009">FaceBook invite we hope you will share</a> </span>with your friends in SoCal.<br />

<span style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We know, we know....you can't believe we are still fighting this road. <i> Yes, the same road that Surfrider and thousands of people fought—and the same road that was rejected by the California Coastal Commission <u>and</u> the Bush Administration </i>in 2008 because of its devastating impacts San Onofre State Beach and coastal resources.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 28px; padding: 0px 1em;">
<span style="color: #eeeeee; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Since 2011, the TCA has been purposing to build the road in “segments”—five miles at a time. Their segmentation approach is an ultimate guise to build the entire road down to San Onofre State Beach. <span style="line-height: 1.6;">The Regional Water Quality Control Board saw through their ruse to build the road in </span>pieces <span style="line-height: 1.6;">and denied the first segment in June of 2013. TCA appealed that decision to the State Board. Fortunately, the State Board upheld the original decision. Now, the Regional Board is scheduled to “adopt its findings” at a March 16</span><sup>th</sup><span style="line-height: 1.6;"> hearing.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay, listen up, </span><i style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">both</i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
toll road opponents and supporters.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Surfrider, and our Save San Onofre partners, have been accused of being
“environmental extremists” by toll road developers, and we are amused as all

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And what is the TCA upset about? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They want to build a toll road through
California’s 5<sup>th</sup> most popular state park – San Onofre State Beach. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The road would damage the park, recreational
opportunities, and an undeveloped watershed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our position -– find good transportation solutions that
don’t destroy this popular state park and important open spaces! I guess they
consider everyone who disagrees with them an “extremist”! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Polling shows that Orange County residents <b>and</b> Californians
statewide strongly oppose building the toll road through the park. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Does TCA think the majority of Californians
are extremists? </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That seems odd since parks are heavily used by families and
generate millions of dollars for our local economy.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While we are amused, we are also slightly perplexed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Both President Bush’s Administration and the California
Coastal Commission told TCA they can’t destroy the state park because there are
viable alternatives to address traffic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>We’ve spoken to TCA officials many times

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And TCA continues to throws fits about not getting their way

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At a recent TCA Board meeting, it was discovered that TCA CEO and
Chairwomen Bartlett were literally ‘<u>hiding’</u> contracts from the rest of
TCA Board members and the public.<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> </span>A
handful of forward-thinking TCA Board members called Chairwomen Bartlett on the
carpet—requiring her to justify such blatant misuse of power.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Even with this massive public bail-out, a leading
rating agency still declared TCA’s (Foothill/Eastern) bonds as junk bonds.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">TCA broke its promise to make the 241 toll-free

increasingly high tolls until at least 2053.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">TCA (Foothill/Eastern) has wasted more than $300
million in public funding on their failed project – and they plan to waste
another $21 million on their project this year.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Who knows what else they are hiding from public view?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you ask us, TCA's behavior of keeping "secret contracts" and aimlessly trying to ram a road through a state park <i>seems pretty extreme.</i></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Isn’t it time for TCA to finally quit wasting millions of public funds?</span></div>

During the standing-room-only hearing, Surfrider Foundation Chapter representatives, staff, supporters and Coalition partners took to the stand one after another to voice their opposition to the first 5.5-mile “segment” of the toll road extension. The project, which was proposed in 2011 just three years after the California Coastal Commission and the Bush Administration shot down the original alignment through San Onofre State Park, calls for the extension of SR-241 to be built in “segments” – five miles at a time. “Segmenting” is illegal under state and federal law.<br />

A massive thanks to all our supporters who came out to the meeting. Your voice and presence made a huge difference in the outcome! Also thanks to our San Diego and South OC Chapters for working so hard to organize the day!<br />
<br />
As a member of the Save San Onofre Coalition, Surfrider Foundation has great respect and thanks for our partners at the Natural Resources Defense Council, California State Parks Foundation, Endangered Habitats League, Orange County Coastkeeper, Sierra Club, Audobon, WildCoast and the California Coastal Protection Network. Not to mention our fantastic team of attorneys at Shute Mihaly & Weinberger. This victory could not have happened without all of their scientific, legal and political muscle. This was truly a TEAM effort!<br />

parking lots underneath Cove Road and at the very end of Harbor Drive near the
Ocean Institute. Arrive no later than 11 AM for <b>11:15</b> departure. Please RSVP by Mon this, June 17th to Penny

Activists are taking public transit. There is a regular MTS bus (928) from
Fashion Valley Transit Center (<a href="http://cts.vresp.com/c/?SurfriderFoundationS/eb41f25550/98a3bb913e/ea533fd68a/r=928&d=North&display=V&tod=wd"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">click here

Court. It's only a 30 minute ride and there's always heaps of parking at the
Fashion Valley Transit Center. Day passes are $5 on board the bus and good for
the trolley too. North County folks can use Coaster to Old Town, buy day pass
there, take the Green Line Trolley to Fashion Valley Transit Center and board
the 928 bus there. <o:p></o:p></div>

Trestles and San Onofre need your time on<b style="text-decoration: underline;"> June 19</b><sup style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">th</sup> to help
persuade the Regional Water Quality Control Board to deny the TCA’s permit to
build the first “segment” of their ill-fated toll road. In 2008, surfers and activists organized the
largest turn-out for a public hearing in State history—and when the Coastal
Commission saw 3,500 people in the audience, they were persuaded to deny the
plan. We need to do that again! This
time, <b>we need hundreds of people to

toll road was certified by the Foothill/Eastern Transportation Corridor
Agency ("TCA") on April 18, 2013. On May 22, 2013, a vigilant group
of environmentalists, including Surfrider Foundation, resurrected our
California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") lawsuit that challenged
the original 16-mile toll road proposal in 2006. The fight to Save
Trestles has now moved to court again.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.surfrider.org/images/uploads/blog/Chad_toll_road.jpg" height="369" style="float: right;" width="296" />For
over a decade, Surfrider Foundation has been opposing the ill-conceived
plan to build the Foothill-South Toll Road, which was originally
aligned to go straight through a senstive watershed and bisect a state
park. Surfrider objects to the toll road's potential harm to water
quality, endangered species and habitat, loss of state park land, and
impairment to coastal recreational resources. In February 2008, the
California Coastal Commission ruled that the toll road was unacceptable
for these reasons under the Coastal Act, after thousands of concerned
citizens voiced opposition at the Commission hearing. The U.S. Secretary
of Commerce also upheld the Coastal Commission’s decision after the TCA
appealed in 2008. However, in 2013, the TCA approved proceeding with
the first 5.5-mile segment of this toll road, which does not enter the
Coastal Zone (yet). The environmental groups believe this is just the
first part of the full toll road and that the TCA would like to start
building now so they can gain political momentum for the full road.<br />
<br />
To learn all the gory details about the lawsuit check out Surfrider's <a href="http://www.surfrider.org/coastal-blog/entry/zombie-lawsuit-resurrected-to-kill-zombie-toll-road" target="_blank">Coastal Blog article by our Legal Director Angela Howe. </a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com251tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7084921702483719745.post-46698480867533504232013-04-19T15:35:00.001-07:002014-03-12T16:57:23.508-07:00Toll Road Agency Holds Secret Meeting To Approve ProjectWe learned last week that the TCA held a "Special Meeting" to approve plans for their so-called "Tesoro Extension," the first 5 miles of the 241 Toll Road that would end up paving over a large portion of San Onofre State Beach and connect with I-5 near Trestles.<br />
<br />
Previously we were assured multiple times that the TCA would hold <b>public workshops</b> and have an open <b>comment period</b> to take input on this project before approving. Instead, they put an agenda on their website with less than 48 hours notice, notified nobody, and then held a vote.<br />
<br />
Here you can see the TCA's Environmental Director Valarie McFall explaining to community members last summer how there would be a lengthy process allowing the public to weigh in.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
This behavior, while not entirely unexpected of them, is <b>outrageous</b>! They are clearly trying to bypass public scrutiny in order to get started building their previously rejected road. Thousands of people went to the Coastal Commission and Commerce Dep't meetings in 2008 to express their views on this project, but the TCA is now locking them out.<br />
<br />
Not only is this the wrong way for an agency to conduct business, but the TCA is already on <a href="http://switchboard.nrdc.org/blogs/dnagami/conservative_think_tank_questi.html" target="_blank">shaky financial feet</a> (as recently reported in the <a href="http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-tollway-20130410,0,1370451.story" target="_blank">LA Times</a>) and have no real plan for getting out of their mountain of debt. Now, rather than listening to <a href="http://www.pacificresearch.org/business-economics/be-article-detail/new-analysis-of-orange-county-toll-roads/" target="_blank">cooler heads</a>, they make a unilateral decision to take on hundreds of millions more in debt in an effort to steamroll their way towards San Onofre and Trestles.<br />
<br />
If you are disturbed by this behavior we encourage you to send the TCA an email with your thoughts. Let them know that you are outraged at the lack of public input for the Tesoro Extension and that you wish to have the opportunity to weigh in on their plans. Send your email today to <a href="mailto:clerkoftheboard@thetollroads.com">clerkoftheboard@thetollroads.com</a> <br />

Last week we told you how the TCA is trying to <a href="http://savetrestles.surfrider.org/2013/02/toll-road-developers-at-it-again-help.html" target="_blank">build the first 5 mile segment</a> of the 241 toll road. Many of you have sent <a href="http://action.surfrider.org/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=7351" target="_blank">letters to the Regional Water Board</a> asking them to deny this foolhardy project. Next Wednesday the Regional Board will have a meeting to decide that permit and <b>we need you there</b>!<br />
<br />
If you live in southern California, come to the <a href="http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/sandiego/board_info/agendas/2013/Mar/Mar13.shtml" target="_blank">water board hearing</a> <b>next Wednesday, March 13th,</b> at <b>9:00 a.m.</b> and speak out against the toll road. The hearing will be held at <br />
<br />
<b>March 13th, 9:00 AM<br />Costa Mesa City Council Chambers<br />77 Fair Drive<br />Costa Mesa, CA 92626</b><br />
<br />
You don't need to speak (unless you want to) but a strong show of support will go a long way.<br />

We encourage you to arrive early if you plan to testify so you can fill out a speaker card. If you don’t plan to speak, please come any time in the morning. TCA will give their presentation sometime after the meeting starts at 9:00; and an organized presentation from environmentalists will be given directly after TCA—followed by public comment (which is when you can speak).

game whack-a-mole. No matter how many
times you knock down those persistant-little-moles, they continue to pop up. And so it goes with the TCA’s mistaken plan
to build their road. Yes, the same road
that was rejected by the California Coastal Commission <u>and</u> the Bush
Administration in 2008. Since 2011, the
TCA has been proposing to build the road in “segments”—five miles at a time. Surfrider
has been writing about their misguided plans on our Save Trestles blog. Of course, we are also working with the
Save San Onofre Coalition to monitor their moves and strategically stop their
plans. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Segmenting” is illegal under state and federal law. Not
only does TCA’s plan circumvent important laws, this approach makes absolutely
no planning sense. The road would create
a “cul-de-sac of traffic” for San Juan Capistrano and would actually end at a
road that is not even built yet! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
TCA’s segmentation plan= poor urban planning! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But here are two more kickers 1.), TCA doesn’t have any financial
plans or environmental permits to build this “segment”, AND 2.) TCA is being
investigated by the state of California to determine “the long-term financial
viability of the agency” (via a government
oversight panel chaired by state Treasurer Bill Lockyer,). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Despite not
having any plans, money, or political support, the TCA blindly believes they can
build their road in segments. Clearly, The
TCA is operating under the false assumption that public resistance to their
road has died down. Did they forget about
the insurmountable community opposition
that brought out thousands of people to attend state and federal
hearings in 2008? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
The <a href="http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/sandiego/board_decisions/tentative_orders/docs/R9-2013-0007/R9-2013-0007_Notice_of_Availability_Extension_2-12-13.pdf">TCA recently filed an environmental permit </a>with the Regional
Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) for the first section of the road (this is
one of many permits they need to obtain).
Their RWQCB application is grossly inadequate—TCA is overlooking impacts
to important wetlands, the San Juan Creek, and the surrounding watershed (which
could potentially affect the coastal zone). <o:p></o:p></div>
