The document discusses opposition to plans to build a toll road through San Onofre State Beach in California. Recent permits granted to the Transportation Corridor Agencies have disappointed environmentalists. Leaders in California have urged the U.S. Commerce Secretary to uphold the California Coastal Commission's decision blocking the toll road, which would protect endangered species and public access to the beach. A key public hearing on the project will take place in July.
The document discusses the Transportation Corridor Agency's approval of the Foothill-South Toll Road, which would bisect San Onofre State Beach and the Donna O'Neill Land Conservancy. The California Attorney General filed a lawsuit against the plan. Upcoming steps to oppose the toll road include continuing the litigation and educating decision-makers about pursuing alternative transportation solutions. The document also discusses a past victory where the California State Parks Commission unanimously opposed the toll road through the park.
This document provides an overview of toxic sites across Vermont on a town-by-town basis. It discusses various types of toxic sites including air pollution point sources, electricity generators, hazardous waste generators and sites, Superfund sites, landfills, water dischargers, underground storage tanks, and salvage yards. It acknowledges that while Vermont has a beautiful landscape, it also has legacy toxic pollution issues that threaten public health and the environment. The document recommends retiring the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant and replacing it with increased investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency.
The document introduces Isofractal, described as the world's first Social Cloud OS. It aims to provide easy ways for large groups of people to organize and accomplish big things through social apps that can scale to millions of users.

The document discusses the proposed Foothill-South Toll Road project and opposition to it. It notes that the project has been delayed by at least two years due to difficulties obtaining permits. It also discusses concerns from the California Coastal Commission about the environmental impacts of the road on San Onofre State Beach. An alternative transportation proposal called the Arterial Improvements Plus alternative is mentioned as a potentially better option with lower costs and impacts.
- A new study by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) contradicts projections by the toll road agency that the Foothill-South Toll Road would eliminate congestion on I-5. The OCTA study predicts I-5 will still experience bad congestion even with the toll road.
- The toll road would ruin San Onofre State Beach, threaten the world-class surfing at Trestles beach, force the abandonment of the San Mateo Campground, and bisect the Donna O'Neill Land Conservancy.
- The article urges abandoning plans for the Foothill-South Toll Road and focusing on real transportation solutions that preserve parks, beaches, and communities.
The document summarizes issues surrounding a proposed water extraction project on the Gorman Hills in Los Angeles County. The Sierra Club has filed a lawsuit against the project due to concerns about impacts to local water supply and wildlife. Questions have been raised about the hydrological assessment and potential effects on wetland areas and local housing development.

Presentation given by Mark Atlas at the Session: "Water, Energy and Climate Change" at the Great Valley Center's Sacramento Valley Forum on October 28, 2009 in Chico, CA.
The document discusses issues related to proposed toll road and development projects in South Orange County, California. It provides opposing views and arguments. It mentions that toll roads have cost taxpayers millions for maintenance issues. It also notes that if a proposed toll road is built, it could lead to the abandonment of a state campground. An environmental group is opposing large development plans, arguing they could harm habitat and watersheds. The group proposes an alternative "Wild Heritage Plan" that aims to focus development and preserve more open space.
The document is an announcement for the Kern-Kaweah Chapter of the Sierra Club's annual awards banquet on April 20th. It provides details about the event, including location, time, menu options, and price. It encourages members to attend to socialize, recognize contributions to environmental causes, and participate in a raffle fundraiser. The announcement also includes information about increased funding that will be provided to the chapter's groups and success in recent air quality litigation against the EPA.
The Supreme Court upheld President Clinton's designation of national monuments including the Sequoia National Monument, affirming the president's authority to create national monuments on federal lands. The Sierra Club will monitor the Forest Service's management plan for the monument to ensure it is not undermined. A landmark clean air bill passed that will end California's exemption of large agricultural operations from clean air rules, bringing cleaner air to the polluted Central Valley. A draft environmental report on California's proposed high-speed rail system is expected to be released for public comment.
The document summarizes the debate around offshore oil drilling off the California coast, noting that while it could generate revenue for the state, it risks serious environmental damage based on past spills. It outlines a proposal by Plains Exploration Production to drill that was opposed by 34 environmental agencies and suspended by the California State Lands Commission. Alternative energy sources like wind and solar are presented as better options given they have grown California's clean energy jobs and are part of plans to increase renewable energy nationwide. The conclusion calls for preventing further oil spill disasters by protecting the environment for the future.
The document discusses several environmental issues and calls readers to write their representatives to voice support. It urges writing local supervisors to reconsider their negative stance on proposed wilderness designations. It also encourages contacting senators and representatives to oppose bills weakening the Endangered Species Act and support protecting roadless forest areas. Readers are asked to advocate for alternative energy over drilling in Alaskan wildlife refuges.

The Oceano Dunes are minutes away from where I grew up. The sand dunes are the largest remaining dune system south of San Fancisco and the second largest in California. The Dunes are located along a beautiful stretch of land that goes 18 miles along the coastline that extends from southern San Luis Obispo to northern Santa Barbra. Its a very unique environment and because of the giant mounds of sand attracts many visitors. The Dunes are perfect for dirt bikers and people who enjoy off road vehicle use. The dunes also are the only area in California where people can legally drive on the beach. Every year two million people come to the dunes and tens of thousands of trucks and off-highway vehicles are driven on the Dunes. This is horrible for the environment and brings up a lot of controversy. No other location in San Luis Obispo and perhaps no other state park generates as many environmental impacts. The topics of controversy not only includes the delicate ecosystem but air quality and littering.
One of the most worrisome conflicts concerning the Oceano Dunes is the air pollution. Nipomo Mesa is directly downwind of the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation area and it has the worst particulate pollution in the county. Larry Allen who is the San Luis Obispo county air pollution control officer says “ The Mesa is violating every state and federal level for particulate matter on a regular basis.” The Air Pollution Control District is beginning a yearlong monitoring program along with experts from UC Davis to find the source of the pollution. They are trying the determine if it is the amount of pollution is caused by the off road vehicle use or perhaps strong winds blowing off a large area of sand dunes. Although it is figured it is the large amount of vehicle use.
Another concerning factor is illegal dumping by ATV’s. Many campers instead of dumping their tank of sewage at a dumping zone will dump their tanks into the sand. This is illegal but many people do it because having a empty tank will decrease the weight and increase their gas milage on the way home. Dumping any kinds of liquid is illegal in any state park. Liquids could leave behind many harmful pollutants. Rangers say it is impossible to estimate how much illegal dumping goes on but are hoping it is going down because in recent years Oceano is now offering free dumping sites. There are also fines for dumping and they can be up to $3,400.
In the Oceano Dunes there are a handful of endangered birds and fish. Protecting these species is incredibly important and is the focus of many environmentalists. There are been lawsuits that blame the state for not protecting these species and pleading for more protection. Two shore birds, the Western snowy plover and the least tern nest primarily on the open sand. This happens to be where people camp and drive their ATVs. Park officials are trying to ...
Long Beach, California is a city of over 460,000 people located south of Los Angeles known for its beaches, port, and diversity. It has a busy port that also creates air and noise pollution problems. However, the city has many cultural and natural assets that outweigh challenges, including beaches, parks, diversity, and proximity to Los Angeles.
- Sea level rise poses a major threat to Virginia and its coastal communities like Norfolk. Norfolk has experienced 14.5 inches of sea level rise over the past 80 years, more than the global average.
- If greenhouse gas emissions continue unchecked, sea levels could rise up to 5.5 feet in Virginia by 2100, causing billions in economic damages from flooding and lost tourism revenue.
- Norfolk is home to the largest naval base in the US, which is threatened by sea level rise and could require hundreds of millions to protect. Protecting these bases has bipartisan support due to national security implications.
Beach Nourishment: It's a Good Investment - Perspective (Part 1 of 4)QuogueBeaches
The document discusses the benefits of beach nourishment projects. It argues that beaches provide significant economic, environmental, and recreational benefits. Beaches are vital to the tourism industry and provide protection from storms. However, many beaches are eroding due to human alterations like ports and inlets. Beach nourishment projects aim to restore eroded beaches by adding sand. Critics argue nourishment is a subsidy for the rich or harmful, but studies show the economic and environmental benefits outweigh the costs. Nourishment is needed to maintain beaches in a healthy, useful state for all Americans.
The annual Gem-O-Rama show in Trona, California attracts thousands of visitors each year to see rare crystals and minerals. The show, run by the local gem and mineral society, has grown significantly over the past 20 years according to organizers. An estimated 4,000 people now attend to see the crystals found in the solution mine tunnels and learn about the geology of the area. The small town of Trona relies heavily on tourism from this unique annual event.
The newsletter discusses threats to the Richmond Pine Rocklands habitat from development projects proposed by a Palm Beach developer and Miami-Dade commissioner. It expresses concerns that decisions about the habitat's fate are being made behind closed doors without public input or scrutiny. The president urges members to contact lawmakers to advocate for preserving the remaining habitat from being bulldozed for commercial projects. A summary of events promoting Everglades conservation is also provided.
This document summarizes and comments on several articles from a local Long Island publication called The Long Island Foghorn. The first article discusses how generations of Long Islanders have viewed the Pine Barrens region as unsuitable for farming or development, but it is actually teeming with diverse wildlife. Another article catches local politicians promoting abandoned development plans in the Pine Barrens region. Upcoming events are listed that relate to local environmental issues. One article discusses how motorboats pollute waterways with hydrocarbons more than all vehicles in Los Angeles. The document requests donations from readers to fund an investigative journalism project on the relationship between ecology, economics, and the future of Long Island.
This document provides an environmental quality report on Pensacola Bay in Florida. It examines water quality in the bay over the past decade based on data from local, state, and federal agencies. Water quality is influenced by surrounding rural, industrial, tourism, fishing and agricultural activities. Data from 2007-2010 and 2012-2013 show levels of various contaminants found in the bay and surrounding wells that supply fresh water, in comparison to regulatory limits. While water quality varies over time and location, the report indicates the complex factors that impact the local ecosystem.
The document discusses a lack of water leading to the abandonment of a rural Colorado community. It describes how Colorado's system of prior appropriation for water allocation allows for competition over dwindling water supplies that can be detrimental. The system negatively impacts the environment and recreational activities as environmental concerns are given lower priority than other water users. Adjustments to prior appropriation may be needed as climate change and population growth further strain water supplies.

Volleyball, born in 1895 through the inventive mind of William G. Morgan, originated as "Mintonette" within YMCA circles in Holyoke, Massachusetts, USA. Quickly evolving from its humble beginnings, it underwent a significant name change to "volleyball" as Alfred Halstead aptly captured its essence during an early exhibition. With standardized rules established, the sport spread rapidly, finding fertile ground within YMCA organizations and beyond. The formation of the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) in 1947 marked a pivotal moment, ushering in a new era of international recognition and growth. Volleyball made its Olympic debut in 1964, captivating audiences worldwide with its fast-paced action and competitive spirit. Over the years, beach volleyball emerged as a popular variant, further diversifying the sport's appeal. Today, volleyball stands as a global phenomenon, celebrated for its athleticism, teamwork, and universal accessibility, embodying the enduring spirit of camaraderie and competition.

“My public record makes clear I do not oppose California's growth. As a State Treasurer and as a Californian who loves my state, I
understand the importance of finding an appropriate balance between the competing demands of providing an infrastructure that meets
the needs of our growing state and protecting the natural resources we cherish. The TCA proposal, however, does not balance these
competing interests. It simply paves over one interest to satisfy the other.”

Department we DOn'T wAnT The TOll ROAD!”
by steve netherby
i f you missed the February 6th Coastal Commission toll road
hearing at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, someone surely told you,
“You shoulda been there!”
More than 3,000 of us packed the hall, along with bus
loads of orange-shirted union pro-roaders and tailored toll road
execs. Signs, surfboards, and shirts read, “Arnold Don’t Surf,”
“Terminate the Toll Road,” and “Save the Park, Stop the Toll
Road.” One girl was dressed as an endangered tidewater goby;
another came as Sally the Steelhead.
Moms and dads with kids came to save San Onofre State
Park, Trestles, and the Donna O’Neill Land Conservancy. Adults
skipped work, kids skipped school and surfers skipped the beach
to participate.
The Commissioners’ eight-to-two vote against the toll
road signaled one of the great environmental victories in recent California history. Cheers rose, tears flowed, smiles and hugs
abounded. It was a sweet end to a banner day for the democratic process.
However, this important victory is now in jeopardy. On Friday, July 25th at the UCI Bren Center in Irvine C.A., the Secretary
of Commerce will hold a hearing to decide whether to uphold or overturn the Coastal Commission’s historic decision. We need to
show the Secretary of Commerce that our park and beach is too precious to lose for a pay-to-drive road. If you missed the last hearing or
simply want to relive the excitement all over again, please attend the upcoming Commerce Department hearing and help drive the
final nail into the Foothill-South coffin.
