Neighbors for Wintersburg Wetlands Restoration
2
Hidden Negative Water Quality Impacts
  • Parkside adds significant new runoff to the Slater Channel
  • More frequent Slater pumping will be needed to maintain the -6 ft MSL elevation
  • Slater pollution will enter the Wintersburg Channel more frequently than today
  • Resulting in extra days of pollution for Bolsa Chica & Huntington Harbour
3
Solution: Move the New Pumps to the North Bank of the Wintersburg
  • WIN – costs less to build
  • WIN – doesn’t send extra Slater pollution to Huntington Harbour
  • WIN – offers superior public safety by not relying on Slater Pump Station as a single point of failure

Beware the Caltrans Sand Filter Debacle!
  • September 17th Rivertech memo cites negative sand filter efficiency for phosphorus, nitrate, and lead
  • High maintenance is required for optimum efficiency
  • Will this be a repeat of the Caltrans San Joaquin Hills toll road drain fiasco?

What’s that awful smell???

September 20th Coastal Commission letter
  • “fundamentally flawed”
  • “used inaccurate data and assumptions”
  • “there will not be 45% area-wide reductions”
  • “impacts to Huntington Harbour…have not been fully considered”
  • “impacts to the Bolsa Chica Reserve have [not] been fully considered”

We Demand a Traffic Study Recount!
  • Some data collected on August 29th, BEFORE Marine View had resumed
  • All other data collected during Labor Day week when many people are away on summer vacations (and not driving on HB roads!)
  • OVSD enrollment still ramping up

OVSD Enrollment Still Ramping Up
  • Some families still on vacation
  • Clueless parents slow to realize school has resumed
  • Incoming transfers from year-round districts with different academic calendars
  • First enrollment statistics not collected until September 27th

In Conclusion…
  • Serious unmitigated impacts remain
  • Reasonable development alternatives have not been explored
  • Still too many unanswered questions
