I have contacted the following organizations to enlist their support of the historic Reagan Meadow. I urge other concerned citizens to do the same. Ronald Reagan himself supported preserving the Reagan Meadow when he became Honorary Major of Malibou Lake in 1953.

perpetuate the oak woodland and riparian features of a ruggedly beautiful natural
landscape that has been set aside for the protection of its diverse natural

"ocean advocate groups believe the hundreds of horses using Malibu Valley Farms are responsible for bacterial and nutrient pollution measured just downstream from the horse facility, in Malibu Creek State Park, the Malibu Lagoon and at Surfrider Beach.
"The extent of the unpermitted development at this site is widespread and detrimental to water quality, and it likely contributes to degraded water downstream at Heal The Bay's monitoring sites," said Tarren Collins, who was representing that group.
Horse advocates from across the state, including the California Thoroughbred Breeders Association, urged the commission to allow the equestrian center to continue operations with its state-of-the-art vegetated swale to eliminate horse urine and manure from the dry wash.
Several dozen horse owners, riders and fans took a chartered bus to the commission meeting in San Luis Obispo. The fight to save the equestrian center had galvanized horse owners, who are concerned about growing pressures on equine ownership caused by spreading urbanization and environmental concerns."
Mr Lawler,
ReplyDeleteMy organization (Save the Reagan Meadow) wishes to inform the board that Malibu Creek State Park is planning an Equestrian Campground and RV Park that in our opinion will degrade the Malibu Creek watershed and burden the Tapia Water Treatment facility. Additionally we believe there are insufficient water resources to support such a facility in a time of extended drought. We request that the board consider a moratorium on servicing all future park facilities that might be constructed in existing parks until such time that water restrictions on existing customers are removed. (We are making a similar request to the Las Virgenes Water District)
We respect and request the boards opinion on how you think this facility will effect the Malibu Creek watershed and tax our limited water resources.
I am requesting to speak at the Sept. 30 meeting to have this request read into the record. (cc sent to Rhonda Catron, Board of the Clerk)
Best Regards
Ted Fulton
