Stewards of the Arroyo Seco

Public Comments Needed Now --
Nature? Or Pits, Pipes and Plumbing?

Do you want more pits, pipes, and plumbing in the Arroyo or a natural stream and habitat/wildlife corridor? We waited a long time to see if Pasadena and South Pasadena would be responsive to community input for the so-called "Arroyo Seco Water Reuse Project" that would degrade the San Rafael Confluence and the San Pascual wetland. The answer is bitterly disappointing.

See for yourself. Here's the link: Draft EIR

Pasadena has not been honest about the damage caused by the largely unsupervised 600 goats that set loose in the Arroyo Seco.

Pasadena should hire a certified biologist to provide an objective report on the damage during the critical bird-nesting season.
