I'm certain many of us have had the experience of seeing mystery charges on some of our bills. Well, something similar may be going on with the San Gabriel River Discovery Center.
Earlier this week, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released its environmental assessment on the discovery center.
Wait, you say, how does this differ from the draft environmental impact report?
Why weren't these two environmental documents rolled into one?
Excellent questions.
USACE owns most of the land that would be used for the discovery center project. But in a situation such as we have here, it is common practice to create a single environmental document rather than have every agency produce its own. Saves the taxpayer money.
Not only were two separate but similar documents produced at significant taxpayer expense--but both were written by the same consultant: EDAW, Inc. EDAW certainly hit the jackpot with the discovery center.
Remember, folks: its YOUR money.
The public review period for the EA ends Aug. 20.
