enviornmental protection: Green Project in My Own “Backyard!”
- 02/28/09 06:38 AM
Image courtesy of wikipedia.org Last Tuesday, a ribbon cutting ceremony took place in the city of Laguna Niguel, which symbolized the completion of a ten year study/project which helped stabilize the Aliso Creek Stream bank. The United States Army Corps of Engineers teamed up with the Orange County Wastewater Authority to enhance the infrastructure surrounding South Orange County Water Authority's Coastal Treatment Plant. Based on studies conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the native habitat and water quality will now be protected within the watershed. Environmental progress in my own "backyard!" This is great news!!
