Current Updates!

California Coastal Commission still needs to hear from you!

9/24/2018

 
Recently, the Coastal Commission held its July 11 through 13th meeting in Scotts Valley.

Several car pools of persons from Marina, Seaside, Monterey and Carmel Valley presented on each day of the public comment portion to educate the Commissioners about environmental issues associated with the CalAm Slant Well Desalination Project in Marina, CA.

Talking points included:
  • Protection of the  Western Snowy Plover (a threatened species), our ground water, and the sensitive coastal natural habitats.
  • Encourging the CCC to apply good science in their decision making and permitting process along with incorporating new information such as the Stanford AEM study, instead of relying entirely on old studies that are no longer relevant.
CalAm had 2 pro-slant well project speakers on July 11th that both receive direct monetary benefit from the approval of this project, but not one unaffiliated citizen speaking in favor. What does this tell you?

Now is the time to speak out against this project! The Coastal Commission will be responsible for issuing permits to build the slant wells on the CEMEX property that will take up our groundwater reserves.

See letter writing campaign for addresses and sample letters.
