State
Parks/county deal could end
recreation at Oceano SVRA
We
need your help NOW!
From
Jeff Blewett, Cal4Wheel
Natural Resources Consultant
State Parks has been bullied
into a deal with the San Luis
Obispo County Air Pollution
Control District (APCD). We
have officially been set-up to
incrementally lose all
recreation opportunity in our
park over the next five years
starting November of this
year!
State
Parks and the county Air
Pollution Control District
agreed to a landmark
settlement this week that
officials say would reduce air
pollution from Oceano Dunes
State Vehicular Recreation
Area by about 30 percent by
2023 and cause some off-road
riding areas to be closed this
year.
The
county Air Pollution Control
District Hearing Board will
hear details of the settlement
and take public comment at a
meeting on Wednesday, March
21, before deciding whether
to accept or reject the
proposal. The meeting is
set for 9 a.m. at the San Luis
Obispo City Council Chambers
at 990 Palm St.
If
this doesn't motivate you to
speak out, I don't know what
will. The time to act is NOW!
The
best way to effect change is
to write letters to the
following people and ask them
to investigate the validity of
silica coming from the SVRA
and what impact does the
marine biological material
coming from the ocean have on
all the air monitoring data?
Ask what percentage of dust is
coming from the SVRA?
Let them know that until these
vital questions are answered,
areas of the Oceano Dunes SVRA
should not be closed down!
Our challenge is to fill
everyone’s inbox from the list
below with mail. Just write
ONE email and send it to
everyone on the list below.
What
should you say?
Make it personal, why do you
like/love/enjoy the beach,
make it real. Let them know we
are tired of being used!
State the facts and ask them
to investigate the validity of
silica coming from the SVRA
and what impact does the
marine biological material
coming from the ocean have on
all the air monitoring data?
Ask
what percentage of dust is
coming from the SVRA?
I just
need two minutes of your time
to help save dune riding. WE
NEED YOUR HELP NOW.
DO IT in the next 24 hours so
we can strike while the iron
is hot. Don’t miss this chance
to make a real difference is
the outcome of the dust issue.
If 50% of the people who read
this post send a letter just
imagine the impact!
