This is an IMPORTANT MEETING regarding WRF Coastal Development Permit!
MB City is hosting a public input opportunity for the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) California Coastal Development Permit (CDP) at the March 26, 2019 Regular CC Meeting. The CDP (if approved by Coastal Commission) would cover ALL aspects of the WRF project, including the treatment facility, pipeline, injection well system and decommissioning of the existing waste water plant. A CDP must be obtained by the City prior to proceeding with project construction (among other requirements).
Public input is an important opportunity for the Morro Bay community to share their thoughts and concerns about the WRF project. This community input will be given to Coastal Commission staff as they prepare their report for the Coastal Commission. Anticipated WRF CDP will go before the Coastal Commission in April/May (TBD). Refer to Business Item C-1 and provide your input of the Coastal Development Permit for the WRF. NOTE related City Staff Report on Page 19 of the agenda: www.morrobayca.gov/Archive.aspx?ADID=4973

Comments to the Board of Supervisors Tuesday, April 23, 2019
Good Morning Board of Supervisors and Staff of San Luis Obispo County. I am Carole Truesdale a resident of Morro Bay since 1995 and homeowner.
I had the opportunity to experience whale watching off our coast of Morro Bay this weekend and it was amazing, and I encourage you all to take that journey. Not only to witness first-hand the ocean’s powerful emotions, but also as you come back into the harbor you see a sign welcoming you to Morro Bay, The Largest Natural Estuary on the West Coast, please protect this beautiful natural habitat.
Each relationship with their environment is their own journey and since I am an active environmentalist, I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of our coastline, how important it is to preserve this area for generations. We do not own anything in this lifetime except our integrity, actions that cause harm/hurtful outcomes and we have a huge responsibility to be better stewards of this precious land we call home.
The South Bay Boulevard placement of the Morro Bay WRF project is grave concern to me as its location is too close to the natural estuary that we work so hard to so protect. If there is a spill from this plant, the effects will take years to clean up afterwards including impacting Los Osos.
Please consider your comments and actions as it pertains to the Consolidated Permit Action on your Agenda that is before you this day and do not squelch the voices through-out the County of those that you represent.
Pull the item from consent, retain Board authority and jurisdiction over local issues by voting “No” on both resolutions.
Thank you for your time.
Carole A. Truesdale Morro Bay, CA
