Did you see our Op-Ed in the LA Business Journal?:Investing in Los Angeles River Offers Alternative to More Fees
OP-ED: Two Views - Running Off Business? Monday, September 19, 2011
Howard Fine’s article on the state’s proposed rainwater runoff rules makes the point that business will be hit hard by any increase in fees, especially in a down economy. But it does not have to be that way.
The law requires all of us to take responsibility for protecting our rivers, streams, beaches and ocean. Storm water fees are a critical part of that protection as they fund larger infrastructure projects that individuals and businesses cannot accomplish on their own.
And we have seen the return on our investment. It was not too long ago that pollution from storm drains and rivers made our local beaches places to avoid. It was an embarrassment to a region that derives so much of its economic power from its location by the water. Now our beaches are back, largely due to enforcement of the rules and laws that exist for their protection.
But today we still have work to do. Despite our past efforts, we are not where we need to be to comply with federal laws on the quality of our water. Decades of paving over L.A. neighborhoods has increased storm water runoff that carries harmful pollutants through the historic Los Angeles River to the coast. In both dry and wet weather, our runoff goes to the river, sometimes treated and sometimes not.
But in difficult times, we must find creative solutions, not give up the fight. See more online!
