Palo Verde uprooted by EPWU's "erosion control"
Another Frontera board member expressed his disgust:
"The damage by EPWU I saw yesterday; growing trees, one a 20 to 30 year old paloverde, an allepo pine, and a honey mesquite uprooted and laying on their sides made me sick. All this damage done just so the EPWU maintenance crew could show that they can move dirt. We can't allow this kind of activity to continue."
Recently the Board has been contemplating signs at key drains into the canyon in an effort to stop illegal dumping. Drywall, concrete slabs and other contractor's materials join furniture and trash. The destruction of an area around Drain #1 (closest to Mesa and the restaurant) has given new impetus to the board's taking action on signs.
Frontera will probably ask for remediation at EPWU's expense at an upcoming meeting.
Grrr! I'm ready to write a letter to EPWU as soon as the facts are available.
ReplyDeleteFrontera board members and others are meeting with EPWU top brass on Monday morning at 8:30. The big question is whether EPWU will remediate at their own expense or a lawsuit is necessary. It is clear that EPWU is in violation of the easement provision of their contract with Frontera.
