Action Alert Update
L.A. City Council Postpones Job-Cutting Decision Posted: February 4, 2010
After nearly eight hours of testimony and debate on Wednesday, Jan. 3, the Los Angeles City Council voted to postpone its decision about potential layoffs of 1,000 city workers for another 30 days. The looming job cuts could lead to the elimination of the Environmental Affairs Department (EAD), which has taken a lead role in shaping and instituting sustainability policies in Los Angeles. Heal the Bay thanks all those who testified at the hearing and we continue to urge the council to seek creative alternatives to axing the EAD in its entirety.

Regional Board Votes to Implement Zero-Trash Limits for the L.A. River
Posted: December 10, 2009
On December 10th, the L.A. Regional Water Quality Control Board unanimously voted to incorporate the L.A. River Trash TMDL into the Municipal Stormwater Permit! This is a huge win for the environment, as the L.A. River Trash TMDL is now enforceable after withstanding many years of legal challenges. This action is a huge step forward in reducing trash in the L.A. River and supports Heal the Bay's marine debris work. |

Malibu Septics Ban Approved by Regional Water Board
Posted: November 6, 2009
On Nov. 5, the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board voted 5-2 to approve a moratorium on septic systems in the Malibu civic center area. The moratorium bans any new septic system in the area and existing systems by 2015 for commercial properties and 2019 for residential properties. Although Heal the Bay was not in full agreement with the Regional Board, this decision marks a historic step forward in solving the chronic water quality problems in Malibu Creek and Lagoon and at iconic Surfrider Beach. The Regional Board has finally held Malibu accountable for water quality in the Malibu Lagoon and at Surfrider, which Heal the Bay has advocated for nearly two decades, as Surfrider Beach frequently receives “F” water quality grades on our Beach Report Card.
