Activist’s Corner

Don et al:

I disagree.

The County and City have some good policy language on Stormwater. Language is all that is there. Their enforcement is generally lacking in many areas - not just the City on construction sites.

The Creek protection programs (including buffers) are not sufficient - nor are the up to standards that would reasonably be expected to make any progress slowing pollutant inputs - temperature, sediment, nutrients, and bad chemicals. More needs to be done.

I will address this via my comments on the City-Wide Creek Master Plan. Reliance on bad policy with no enforcement will not get us far - with Water Quality Standard attainment.

David Keller seems to agree.

I think the City Wide Creek Master Plan can be used as the diving board for some of these issues.
