In Support of the Wash
I am deeply concerned about the possibility that a natural resource as unique as the Big Tujunga Wash is about to be scarred by a golf course.
This area has been designated as an Environmentally Sensitive Area and once it is destroyed--buried under 2.8 million cubic yards of fill dirt and the cement to construct channels--it can never be reclaimed. In the short time it takes to unload those 2.8 million cubic yards of dirt a precious ecological resource that evolved over millions of years will be obliterated.
And for what? Not a location for a scientific study that might save millions of lives, but another golf course. Surely with the 200 golf courses already available in Los Angeles County, a better location could be found for number 201.
