California Coastal Commission Unanimously Approves Poseidon Resources’ Wetlands Restoration2/9/2011 San Diego, CA – Poseidon Resources today announced that the California Coastal Commission unanimously approved its proposal to restore coastal wetlands in south San Diego County’s Otay River floodplain.
Poseidon’s proposed 66-acre restoration site is located in the South San Diego Bay Unit of the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge and is part of an ongoing restoration effort by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The wetlands restoration site is managed and owned or leased by the USFWS exclusively for restoration of coastal wetlands and associated uplands. Poseidon and the USFWS are entering into a partnership to facilitate the restoration and enhancement of wetlands. The Commission’s approval of the wetlands restoration site clears the way for Poseidon and the USFWS to prepare environmental studies and a final project design. San Diego, CA – Poseidon Resources today announced that the California Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District has upheld the Superior Court’s ruling that the State Lands Commission complied with environmental laws when it approved the Carlsbad Desalination Project (“Project”). The ruling is the tenth legal challenge to the Project that has been considered and dismissed.
