The State’s Off Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Commission is meeting today in Arroyo Grande where they will discuss attempts to phase out off-road vehicle usage at the Oceano Dunes based on controversial allegations dust from the dunes is impacting the health of people on the Nipomo Mesa.
Based on flawed studies and questionable conclusions from the San Luis Obispo County Air Pollution Control District , State Parks has spent more than $25 million on dust mitigation. However, recent studies show only 14% of dust blowing on the mesa is mineral dust, which could possibly originate at the Oceano Dunes.
“I have seen “projects” where it appeared that all the APCD wanted was money; the statutes were used to leverage as high of a price as they could get as if that was all that was needed to mitigate air pollution,” Hall wrote. “The bottom line is, beware of an agency that was structurally built to serve itself; that builds its’ budget off of fees; that has little accountability; and that its’ board members have been deeply involved in corruption at other regional agency boards they serve on.
