A BIG congratulations to Hillary Hauser and Heal the Ocean for working hard to remove the septic systems from Rincon Point, South Santa Barbara County and North Ventura County.
Hillary Hauser and Jeff Young created Heal the Ocean in 1998 for this extremely important environmental project. For the past 15 years, Heal the Ocean has fought through countless lawsuits in order to make the impossible happen.
The press release that was released yesterday notes just how important this project was to the community. It states, “Surfers, who had asked Hauser to start the campaign and who had complained for years about getting illnesses from surfing the world class Rincon Point, held fundraising surf contests to raise money for the cause, and much funding came through HTO donors and finally, the Rincon homeowners themselves.” Hauser also said, “This road has been so long and hard that at our Board meeting tonight, we all looked at each other and said, ‘Can this really be over?’”
There will be a hearing for the Board of Supervisors as well as the CSD Board of Directors on May 7 at 5pm at the District Hearing Room at 5300 6th Street, Carpinteria.
Another CONGRATULATIONS to Hillary, Heal the Ocean and everyone who has helped push this project forward!
