The California Coastal Commission granted State Parks a Coastal Development Permit for their Oceano Dunes dust control program at a Sept. 14, 2017, hearing in Cambria. At the end of the meeting, Commissioner Steve Padilla summed up the situation at the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area.
Commissioner Padilla is absolutely right: no "right" to motorized recreation should ever trump the right of our communities to protect their health.
There is absolutely zero evidence that the air quality issues are related to off road vehicles. It's called wind. In 1982 13,500 acres of riding area were closed, 1,500 acres remain open for OHV's. 88.9% reduction yet there hasn't been any improvement in air quality? Really? Have you seen the plume he is talking about? I have. Most times that plume is no where near any riding areas (remember...there are only 1,500 acres available). It occurs because of WIND...not vehicles. Wind does not discriminate. It blows where it damn well pleases. It will continue to blow even if the dunes are closed to vehicles. Then who will you blame?
Bravo Coastal Commissioner Steve Padilla!! Speak truth to foul public health and crass environmental destruction play!
No truth...only emotion based on great actors in the audience. That gentlemen he refers to only put on the oxygen just before this issue came up. Maybe he didn't need it until then....or maybe it was theatrics. Either way, he succeeded. He has only lived in the area 11 years. What did he do for a living before retiring? Could his health problems be related? Where did he live before? Maybe his problems are related. My family have lived on the Mesa and have zero health issues. Maybe they shouldn't have cut down thousands of eucalyptus that provided a natural wind/sand/dust break in order to build those developments. Kind of like moving near an airport and then complaining about the noise.
