Oxford Bird Conservation Area in Marina Del Rey
As a Sierra Club member, I'm appalled that environmental groups and government agencies aren't doing more to protect the only Bird Conservation Area in Los Angeles County. The County is proposing no fresh water for wildlife in their Oxford Basin Multiuse Enhancement Project. Proposition A (1992 & 1996) was approved by the voters to protect and maintain wildlife areas through means including recycled water. A 2010 Oxford Basin Watershed Management document required identifying locations where water recycling could be located adjacent to the basin. The abandoned City of Los Angeles Thatcher Maintenance Yard is the answer and solution. Make it happen for the wildlife and community water sustainability. Wastewater/runoff recycling and reuse needs to be mandatory countywide and done within the municipalities/cities where the resource is created. Identify locations countywide where local treatment facilities can be located. It can and must be done. Recycle, reuse and thrive. douglaspfay@aol.com
