Roughly 900 pages of documents released by California State Parks reveal the possible future of off-road riding and camping at Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation Area and the neighboring Pismo State Beach.
The Draft Public Works Plan and resulting Draft Environmental Impact Report outline new development ideas, safety and infrastructure improvements and environmental damage mitigation efforts at the popular parks in southern San Luis Obispo County predicting what’s ahead for the area for the next 20 to 30 years if it’s approved by the California Coastal Commission.
The preferred route of a proposed highway that would run from the Ohio River to Interstate 69 in southern Indiana is expected to be announced late this year.
An environmental review of a controversial boatyard expansion in Mattituck may soon get underway.
At a meeting Monday, the Southold Town Planning Board approved the final scope, a document required as part of the State Environmental Quality Review Act that spells out what aspects of the project must be further studied before it’s approved or denied.
The board voted 4-0 to accept the final scope, with chairman Donald Wilcenski recused.
“This is a major project,” Planning Board vice chair James Rich said during Monday’s meeting, adding that he thought the final document, which is nearly 30 pages long, is “very complete.”
