Stockholm Syndrome, the SLOGB mental anguish continues.....

Hello all,

Well SLO city has finally acted on my call through City Council public comment session and produced a report on rainwater harvesting! Good stuff. But they didn't let me know they had it on the agenda tomorrow night..as directed by the mayor. Sorry all for the late notice. Fortunately, city council members made me aware. Here's a copy for your viewing pleasure..
Haven't gone through it all yet, but did anyone in SLO GB get consulted on this? They say that in the first line of the doc. They plan to consult with SLO GB throughout. If someone has been consulted, let me know who as I prepared lengthy documents for the City Council on legislative aspects and impacts that I can supply to the process - so they don't go to waste.
Come on along tomorrow night for some rainwater harvesting celebration that its on the agenda!! Thanks to all for supporting..

Jenny

Please let me know about your push for Rainwater Harvesting Rights.
I will post it on my blog: www.yourgreenrights.blogspot.com
I was just elected to represent the disenfranchised middle class in the middle of Los Osos prohibition zone, on LOCAC (District 2).
Rainwater harvesting is a RIGHT not a privilege.
Nothing is governable by the County, a City, or the Water Board until the actual discharge. Before that anything is just a 'fixture'. If rainwater exceeds the quality of greywater in EPA documents, then I would suggest you blend it with greywater and use the State emergency mandated greywater law to use that water. Why not?

Why the distinction between greywater and harvest water?

I would suggest you are experiencing......

Where was SLOGB at the LOWWP Coastal Commission De Novo hearings?
I suggest you get on board with Keith Wimer, he was well received at the resent Water Board meeting (I have flip video).

Salt water intrusion is killing the LO water basin like right NOW! No one is paying attention. Where is SLOGB? Gee, nice handouts and sweet fuzzy relationships with County Staff while the LO water basin dies.........

Blakeslee AB 45, Locking urban homeowners into high cost grid power.

Sorry Folks, I'm afraid Sam Blakeslee has to protect his PG&E donors. We're too late on this one.

"(1) The parcel where the system is located shall be at least one acre in size and located outside an urbanized area."

"(3) Minimum setbacks for the system tower shall be no farther from the property line than the system height, unless a greater setback
is needed to comply with applicable fire setback requirements set
forth in Section 4290 of the Public Resources Code. "

Here's the full bill.


And just how does this law work with this wind power innovation?
