North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection (NCCWP) is calling on all concerned residents of the North Coast to attend an upcoming public hearing on Tuesday, September 9 at 5:30 p.m. at Rockaway Beach City Hall (276 S. Highway 101).
Why it matters:
**The proposed development sets on ecologically rich Special Area wetlands — critical habitat that filters pollution, prevents flooding, and supports native fish.
**The land overlays Rockaway Beach’s backup drinking water aquifer — development here potentially puts the safety of the City’s drinking water supply at risk.
**This land should never have been approved for residential development in the first place. Local zoning and state law clearly protect these wetlands — and this LUBA decision confirms it.
We’re urging City leaders to reverse their approval of this project and protect these sensitive wetlands for good.
Living in this fragile area near the ocean, wetlands, and forested areas, reminds us of the many ways having a healthy ecological system is crucial to our community’s health and wellbeing. Let us all become caring stewards of the wild that surrounds us. The beavers and other wild creatures who depend on the wetlands will thank you. We hope to see you at the special hearing on Tuesday, September 9 at 5:30 p.m
NCCWP wants no more logging and pesticide use in drinking water sources regardless of who owns the land, and we want an end to pesticide
applications near where people live, work and recreate. Safe drinking water and clean air are part of the public trust that all people are entitled to have. www.healthywatershed.org | www.facebook.com/NCCWATERSHEDPROTECTION
