DAVID KICKS the COUNTY's a*#@ on NURSERY PRODUCTS-(and another reason we need an enviornmental justice unit in the DA's office)-

The court of appeal in San Diego today (May 25, 2010) in CENTER FOR BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY et al., Plaintiffs and Respondents, v. COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO, NURSERY PRODUCTS, LLC, (https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=313e44bdc8&view=att&th=128d19072fe9f260&attid=0.1.1&disp=attd&zw) issued a peremptory writ of mandate that requires the County to set aside the certification for the FEIR ( the "Final Environmental Impact Report" for the open-air human waste sludge dump outside of Hinkley, Barstow and Silver Lakes) and all approvals for the project, including the CUP (conditional use permit the County of San Bernardino issued twice) and to comply with CEQA (the California Environmental Quality Act). The writ enjoins (stops) Nursery Products from proceeding with any aspect of the project "unless and until such time as the County has certified and adopted an EIR that complies with CEQA." Judgment was entered on June 23, 2008, with the court reserving the issue of attorney fees. This was an ugly fight by locals, law students and 501c lawyers. Ramos of course was no where to be found in enforcing the CEQA laws--which is why we need an environmental justice unit in the District Attorney's office.
