Save Our River

Granite Construction Corporation continues to demand public approval to develop the Liberty Quarry project — despite the damage it would do to the lands, the wildlife and the people in De Luz, Fallbrook, Rainbow, Temecula, Camp Pendleton and beyond.
Granite’s for-profit quarry development would damage the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve; the last wildlife corridor between the Santa Ana Mountains and the Palomar Mountain Range; the Santa Margarita River, our last free-flowing river in Southern California; Native American sacred sites; Camp Pendleton’s ground water; and the air we breathe.
Just as important, Granite Construction Corporation and the supposed public approval process threaten to damage the public — the majority of people in the target area, who do not want the quarry in this location.
Stop the corporate minority from damaging our majority, our quality of life, our environment, our heritage, our right to say no to being harmed by corporate greed.

Thank you for your post on this vital issue.
Thank you for posting this K-B! I would also urge anyone signing the petition to post a link on their Facebook page.
BTW – It is rumored that the FIFTH public meeting between the County and Granite Construction Corporation is rumored will be held on August 18th (date is yet to be confirmed).
While the public will not be able to speak at this meeting, filling the auditorium with citizens of all ages will be a terrific show of support – and may influence the planning board’s decision on whether or not to permit or deny the development of Liberty Quarry.
Anyone still in the area might want to see if there are trout in that watershed. Rainbow Trout are a FEDERALLY PROTECTED SPECIES “. Southern California (south of Point Conception) ESU steelheads have been affected by habitat loss due to dams, confinement of streams in concrete channels, water pollution, groundwater pumping, urban heat island effects, and other byproducts of urbanization.” _wikipedia
Also someone might want to brush up on title 43 USC. Good night and good luck.
