PALA RACEWAY ANTI-NOISE COMMUNITY MEETING
As citizens in communities surrounding Pala Raceway, we are continually subjected to a compromise in our environment from the raceway’s noise. Over the past 2½ years, we have requested alleviation to the problem and patiently waited for solutions that never materialized. It is now time for neighbors and communities to join together in stopping the noise nuisance being generated by Pala Raceway.
If the noise from Pala Raceway affects you, please come to a community meeting. The agenda will be focused on formalizing a plan to move forward against raceway noise, establishing an effective communication network and organizing community resources.
The meeting will be held:
Saturday, January 21st
11a - noon
Rainbow Valley Grange, Rainbow Valley Road, Fallbrook, CA
If you have any questions or cannot attend the meeting but would like to be included in community efforts and communication, please contact palaracewaynoise@gmail.com.
We hope to see you there and thank you, in advance, for your contributions to the effort.

Sierra Club thrives in southwest Riverside County
12:32 AM PST on Sunday, February 20, 2011
By CARL LOVE
Special to The Press-Enterprise
There was a time here when a gathering of the Sierra Club might have been met with protests.
Now more than 50 environmentalists can meet in peace and quiet at a popular local restaurant and be considered practically mainstream.
At a recent gathering, they ranged from retirees to moms holding newborns. All showed up for a fundraiser for the local group, started about two years ago by Jim Mitchell and others.
He estimates there are 400 to 500 Sierra Club members in southwest Riverside County. What's happened since the late 1980s is nothing short of remarkable. When the area started to grow big time, there was a new shopping center going up in Temecula almost every week. The Sierra Club, or tree huggers as critics called them, weren't part of a dialogue with local officials at the time. The chant was just grow, grow, grow!
Arguably the most significant local environmental achievement -- expansion of the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve instead of thousands of houses in the space in the 1990s -- was achieved because activists from Los Angeles helped lead the charge. Had it been left to locals, who knows how many people, not animals, would live there now?
Laurie Webster, who has lived here since 1993, recalls there wasn't much of a local environmental movement then. She says it evolved, with issues such as building homes on the hills west of Temecula, plus plans for massive power lines in Temecula Valley Wine Country, drawing people to the issues.
Webster, who even has a daughter named Sierra, helps coordinate group activities, including outings to Balboa Park in San Diego. She says the idea is to show that urban areas can still have environmental refuges. We all know we're headed toward being an urban area, yet we can still have nature breaks, thanks to groups like the Sierra Club.
Of course the group promotes the natural resources we already have, such as tours to the plateau. Upcoming local trips also include the Tenaja Falls west of Murrieta and Bear Canyon west of Lake Elsinore. Check them out on the group web site, sierraclubsmg.org They sound like a great way to see local attractions.
Then there are the monthly meetings on Thursday nights at the Rancho California Water District in Temecula. The group met last week to discuss the Wine Country community plan.
Another main focus continues to be the proposed Liberty Quarry in the hills south of Temecula. The planned 414-acre open mine pit is touted as an economic asset by the developer but slammed as an environmental disaster by Sierra Club types.
Mitchell, the group's chair, says local members include small business people and Republicans, proof that the Sierra Club can flourish even in a place as conservative as southwest Riverside County. With the environmental battles still to be fought locally, the more diverse voices the better.

G.C. LANDFILL PROPONENTS SEEPING BACK IN!
HELP STOP THE GREGORY CANYON DUMP
It has been over twenty years since the County of San Diego conducted a selection process of various locations to prepare for what was believed to be a trash issue by siting a new dump.
The Gregory Canyon site was reviewed and soundly rejected by the County for multiple reasons. Not wanting to accept the flaws of the site, the proponents, Gregory Canyon Ltd. circumvented the county's process and used a countywide ballot initiative to authorize a landfill on the site. The initiative passed.
Last year, RiverWatch and the Pala Band of Mission Indians were successful in court and the original Solid Waste Permit was declared null and void.
The San Diego County's Solid Waste Local Enforcement Agency (LEA) has determined a new permit application was complete and will conduct a public information meeting on Wednesday, February 23, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. at the Fallbrook Public Library 124 S.Mission Road, Fallbrook
RiverWatch along with other opponents of the dump have grave concerns about the potential for toxic pollutants leaking into the San Luis Rey River. The San Luis Rey River and its aquifer are an important drinking water source serving thousands of residents and businesses throughout the county.
Threats to air quality, serious impacts to federally listed endangered species, massive traffic impacts to Highway 76 coupled with threats of landslides, spills from trucks, and contaminated storm runoff clearly led to a NO Permit position.
San Diego County does not need this landfill. Waste diversion and recycling are at an all time high, and disposal rates have decreased dramatically in recent years.
It is important that you join us in telling the San Diego Solid Waste Local Enforcement Agency to deny the Solid Waste Facility Permit. Please join with us by attending the meeting on the 23rd. and speak up. The LEA must take action on this application no later than April 1, 2011 Written comments will be accepted at the hearing and can be mailed as well.
For more detailed information, please check the Dept. of Environmental Health website at:
Please attend this important hearing and help save our precious water and the San Luis Rey watershed.
Thank you for your continued support.
