Owl watching with Jim Kirk

I recently cleaned out my barn owl box and installed a better video camera, a Logitech 700i, which will record color video clips upon motion detection, and which uses the same software and display screen that my outdoor surveillance cameras use, so it will be easier to keep track of my next occupants, which are expected in early 2014.

After a couple of months of occupancy in early 2013, there was a thick layer of foul (fowl?) smelling material on the bottom of the box, including two complete rat skeletons, which I removed and replaced with fresh wood chips sprinkled with Sevin dust to discourage bees from taking over the box, as they did in early 2012, chasing out the mama barn owl who was incubating four eggs at the time.

Water pipeline another landfill hurdle

It's getting close to crunch time for the long-proposed Gregory Canyon landfill

 

 

 Gregory Mountain near Pala - Eduardo Contreras

PALA - Concerns about the integrity of two crucial water pipelines, as well as traffic along state Route 76, are among issues that will soon be aired as local, state and federal agencies near a decision on the long-proposed Gregory Canyon landfill.
At no time has the landfill been closer to being built - but that's not saying much, if the 20-year-history of the project is any indicator.
The status of the landfill was discussed at a recent San Diego County Water Authority meeting, where officials again questioned what might happen to two large water pipelines that run along a ridge just to the west the future dump site.
The Authority wants to know whether blasting that will be needed to build the landfill could damage the pipelines, which carry water from Northern California and the Colorado River to San Diego.
Gregory Canyon will need an encroachment permit from the Water Authority before landfill construction can begin, though that permit would probably be one of the last ones issued for the project. The company also still needs a handful of permits from other agencies.
The landfill's biggest hurdle right now is a pending permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers which in 2010 decided it had jurisdiction because much of the drainage in the landfill area could flow into "waters of the United States" and are therefore subject to the federal Clean Water Act. The Corps issued a draft environmental study and is reviewing thousands of comments made after its release. When the Corps will make a decision is anyone's guess.
Still, County Supervisor Dave Roberts - who is a nonvoting alternate member of the Water Authority's board and an opponent of the dump - raised a red flag about the project during a July 25 meeting of the water agency.
"This pipeline in my estimation is the lifeline for our county water supply and anything that could damage this I think should cause us all to stop and think 'what the heck are we doing?'"
It is possible that the pipelines might have to be moved in order to build the dump, or that bridges would have to be built over them. Some of the details of what the developers would want to do won't be given until after the Corps permit has been issued,
Roberts said he thinks details need to be known far sooner.
"Anything we did to harm this pipeline would be a travesty to San Diego County," he said. "You all will have a very tough decision on your shoulders, probably next year."
Gregory Canyon Ltd. Spokeswoman Nancy Chase on Thursday said she does not see the pipeline issue as a deal breaker.
"We have a cooperative arrangement with (the Water Authority) and we will do whatever we need to do," she said. She said a meeting has been scheduled during which the developers will give an official presentation.
"They are fully aware that we will move the pipeline if that is required," Chase said.

•  Gregory Mountain near Pala - Eduardo Contreras

The landfill would cover 308 acres of a 1,770 acre piece of property located near Gregory Mountain about 3 miles east of Interstate 15 and just south of state route 76 and the San Luis Rey River.
Proponents say the North County needs a landfill and that it will be a state-of-the-art facility that will never leak pollutants into the ground.
Opponents - which include the neighboring Pala Band of Mission Indians, several environmental groups and some municipalities - say the dump is an environmental disaster waiting to happen and that it is foolish to think a landfill built near a river will never cause problems.
Meanwhile, another little publicized tack that opponents are taking is challenging the developers plans to straighten and widen Highway 76 for 1,700 feet in front of their land. Those opponents say that even with the widening, the hundreds of trash and water truck that will be pulling in and out of the dump will not have a proper line of sight and that accidents will ensue.
State Route 76, along with being a major highway for access to the county's northern backcountry, has seen a tremendous increase in traffic the past decade because of several casinos built along or near the road.

FOUND LITTLE DOGGIE

Found this little guy running around at 8^th Street & Rice Canyon late yesterday afternoon, July 2. The resident of the only house in the area had noticed him running around all day. He has no collar and is not neutered. Most likely he was dumped, but just in case, thought maybe you could send this out in case someone knows him. Or, if anyone would be interested in giving him a permanent home, they can call us.

Thanks,

Ben & Debby

Liberty Quarry now called Pu'eska Mountain

Land fight resolved; sacred mountain returned to IE tribe TEMECULA, Calif. (KABC) -- The dust may be settling over a proposed mining site in the Inland Empire. It's between Temecula's southern border and the San Diego county line. There's a major multi-million-dollar settlement involved. Opponents of the Liberty Quarry Project had plenty to smile about Thursday. Thursday, the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians put an end to the contentious battle over the proposed open mine site, which would have extracted tons of aggregate material. The tribe bought the land from Granite Construction, paying $3 million for 345 acres. "We had to look at something that was definitive and essentially make it an offer with Granite on the basis of what would be fair, what would be enough for them to disengage," said Tribal Chairman Mark Macarro. The tribe will also pay an additional $17.3 million as part of a settlement agreement. A major part of the settlement includes a restriction preventing Granite from building a quarry in the area, encompassing 90 square miles. The company said in a statement that it was pleased to have reached an equitable solution with the tribe. The historic agreement closes a bitter chapter in Temecula history, which included a series of heated public hearings. "Finally. No more hearings. We were there for days on end hearing the opponents and the proponents," said Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone. But this past July the tribe began secretly negotiating with Granite to buy the land in order to preserve the site they consider sacred. "The mountain is our people's place of creation for all Luiseno people," said Macarro. For the past seven years the site has been referred to as the Liberty Quarry project but from now on the Pechanga Band of Indians want it know by its tribal name: the Pu'eska Mountain.
