Why is opposing the project this important to Surfrider Foundation San Diego County Chapter? The proposed 300-acre Gregory Canyon Landfill would be built on the banks of the San Luis Rey River, threatening a major drinking water source for thousands of people. Local agencies, elected officials, environmental groups and Native Americans agree that these essential water supplies must be protected and preserved at all costs.

The County of San Diego is deciding whether to approve a key permit that the landfill needs in order to operate. We need to make sure the County gets the message that placing a garbage dump on the banks of a river makes no sense. The bottom line is that garbage and water just don't mix.

Tonight, 6:30. Fallbrook Community Library.

Kehoe Opposes Del Mar Fair Expansion, So Does Surfrider

Senator Christine Kehoe has come out in opposition of the proposed Del Mar Fairgrounds expansion according to the San Diego Union Tribune in this article. Read Senator Kehoe's 11 page letter here. We agree. Surfrider Foundation San Diego Chapter, along with other leading environmental groups, also opposes this environmentally destructive plan. The urbanization and overdevelopment would have lasting and devastating affects to the pristine wetlands adjacent to the Fairgrounds.
