EHL Newsletter, Fall 2009 Vol 19 No 4

In 2003, EHL filed suit on California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)grounds against Riverside County’s General Plan Update. This suit hasnow been settled to add protections to rural and habitat lands.

If private property is purchased by tribes and then annexed intoreservations, the protections called for in regional multiple speciesplans may be lost. EHL is commenting on two such proposals.

Earlier this year, EHL expressed concern that the western leg of a new highway would violate conditions contained in the regional multi-species plan. In response to this and to concerns raised by others, the offending alignment has been dropped.

In order to preserve San Diego’s countryside and rich habitats, EHL criticized the “preferred project” in comparison with a land use map developed by planning staff and stakeholders.

An unkindness of ravens? Oh, I don’t think so!
