The 880 Stone Pine Cove Farmworker Housing’s initial study / Mitigated Negative Declaration was approved by the Half Moon Bay Planning Commission with concerns for the possible inundation by the Pilarcitos Dam. Included in the post is a Coastside County Water District presentation by the SFPUC (the keepers of Crystal Springs and our water) where they said the California Division of dams asked that they draw down the water behind the dam by one third. Old dams are an under funded problem nationwide. In California became aware of this problem after the Oroville dam failed and now are requiring all dams to be inspected and upgraded.

The San Mateo County Farm Bureau is appealing LAFCO’s approval for the annexation of the CSA-11 water system to include Pescadero High School and the new Fire Station #59. The appeal document is in the post. There are six things they are appealing about. Stay tuned to see how this is resolved. The main thing is to get potable water to the Pescadero students who have been drinking out of plastic bottles for 40 years.

How would you like to see when a new development or house in your neighborhood? Story poles or a picture on a flyer?
The 2024 Recreational Dungeness Crab Season will open this weekend with trap restriction while the Commercial Dungeness Crab fishery is delayed to protect whales from entanglement. Next week I will be covering the latest on pop-up crab traps.
