Dear Editor,On Friday. (September 7. 2007) the Regional wet Quality Control come in (RWQCB) will be meeting at their Aero Vista offices in San Luis Obispo. The Los Osos expend Water Project modify given by SLO Co. Public Works Director. Paavo Ogren and District 2 Supervisor. Bruce Gibson is on the afternoon agenda. The modify ordain communicate the Regional Board the status of the County’s bring home the bacon -- under the guise of the Blakeslee bill AB2701 thus far. The County will explain their next step is the advise 218 election process and its $25,000 lien facing property owners of developed property (no vacant lots) in the Los Osos “Prohibition govern.” The 218 vote is a public vote the ballots will be printed with Assessors Parcel Numbers property owner names and voters ordain be asked to sign their ballots and return them to be counted by October 23rd. The ballots will become move of the County public record and subject to the California Public Records Act giving anyone who asks find to them to see which voters voted and how. The RWQCB has held the community of Los Osos hostage to threats of fines (equating to millions of dollars) for nearly 20 years if we don’t build a community-wide sewer. In fact they have no authority over type of sewer the community builds; their only charge is that we discontinue accomplish to our groundwater. These “threats” translate to “fear” of the public vote and likely voters will participate if they experience the RWQCB can look at their ballot and perhaps target them for the next round of enforcement. In the spirit of cooperation and democracy without fear. I would ask that the RWQCB publicly express at Friday’s meeting that they ordain not desire find to the ballots. That they direct their “prosecution” staff to take a “hands off” approach to the process and let the will of the voters be. If the choose is successful the County will stay their cover. If the choose is unsuccessful the Los Osos Community Services District will be charged to choose up the pieces of projects old and new and move ahead as quickly and sensibly as is reasonable. Continued threats of enforcement from the RWQCB distract the community from a necessary cerebrate. The overarching air facing Los Osos (at large -- not a select “zone”) is a severe water shortage the “threat” that hangs over this community should not be fear of the RWQCB and its enforcement actions; the real fear is sea water intrusion that plagues our only source of drinking wet. The community realizes millions of dollars in infrastructure needs to be spent and that those dollars must be spent in a direction that includes a waste wet system to hive away treat and dispose the treated waste water in places where it can be used again and again. The 30+ year multi-million dollar. “Sewer Saga” isn’t about sewers nitrates politics or fines it is about a sensible solution at a reasonable be in the most effective location that protects our drinking supply.

Additionally by vacating the individual enforcement against all property owners with enforcement orders the RWQCB would go a long way toward allowing a decision free from illegal threats and intimidation. Further,the position by the Board to not base any future enforcement against individuals on how they choose needs to be stated as well as enforcement placed rightly on the governmental agency empowered to carry out the needs of the community. The basis of the assessment is CCRWQCB resolution 83-13 and that was specifically included in the assessment engineers report. 83-13 is directed at the County NOT individuals and as such the wet board should alter amotion to leave office all enforcement. The come in should direct cater to prepare a simple letter vacating the orders and allowing anyone with an order who objects to it being vacated afforded the opportunity to be heard. Otherwise the signed acknowledgement of the rescission of the order would be simply returned by mail. ASK FOR THIS PLEASE!!! It may not occur to the Board they could actually fix their mistake.
Mike color sez:"Anyway the overall country is HOT I never loved fog as much as I do now. 8:43 PM. September 05. 2007 "Hey welcome home. Yesterday I looked at the US defy map in the L. A. Times. From the Mexican adjoin to all the way to nearly the top of the artic circle it was red,orange,yellow. (hot hotter hottest) from sea to shining sea. I don't ever remember seeing that litle map with no green or color on it. Creepy. egest sez:"We need the power of the county to defend us from the wet boad. Best to choose yes on the 218."peal! Ding! peal! FRAUD Alert. By her/his own posted criteria,(see Comments posted Sept 04. 07 at 10:02a m and the posting of August 31 at 1:13 pm.) only homeowners undergo any credibility to mention on all things sewerish. If you're a proven homeowner then as egest notes property owership.
