My daughter tells me sand is scillia based and dirt, or soil is carbon based. The dirt is suffocating the natural flora and fauna found in the tidepools. It is filling in the finger reefs.<BR/><BR/>The Coastal Commission should not allow the dirt to be dumped on our beaches. I went for a walk the other day on the beach and had NEVER in thirty years, seen such ugly, dirty, black soil dumped and piled on the beaches. Pacific Station developer should have to dispose of his dirt from excavation as other developers have, NOT by conveniently dumping it on our beaches.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12885680.post-56936244220367611762008-12-01T22:04:00.000-08:002008-12-01T22:04:00.000-08:00They've dumped soil before at Ponto 15 years ago or so. Looks real gross on the beach, not like sand at all but damp and dank earth. The only reason you would ever put a clean towel down on that crap is if you lost a bet. I suppose once the orange soil cooties all wash off into the ocean, there will be a few granules of white sand added to the beach. Swell. If Ponto already had their whoopdeedo developement, there is no way they would allow it. But what is the old saying about that stuff that rolls downhill?<BR/><BR/>But back to the thread, the cobblestone work is great, but the Cozens crew must have had that pic taken somewhere on the NCTD property.

The dump trucks won't travel through 101 downtown Encinitas. The trucks will turn up Vulcan then to the freeway. Trucks on the way back drive through Leucadia. <BR/>The hauling is scheduled to start Dec. 8. If you want the city to postpone the hauling until after the holiday season, protest now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12885680.post-66755304071339759182008-12-01T15:18:00.000-08:002008-12-01T15:18:00.000-08:00Hooray more sand!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12885680.post-14555280712886987222008-12-01T12:55:00.000-08:002008-12-01T12:55:00.000-08:0022 dump trucks an hour/9 hours a day on Leucadia 101 for the next 4 weeks.
