Monarch Grove, Part II



  1. AGENDA                                  BOARD OF SUPERVISORS 
    Tuesday, June 02, 2015 

    Board Business:

  2. 35. Consideration of a request to authorize processing of an Amendment of the Official Maps – Part III of the Land Use Element / Local Coastal Plan Amendment (LRP2014-00021) to adjust the Urban Services Line to include the neighborhood of Monarch Grove, located south of Monarch Lane and west of Pecho Valley Road, in the community of Los Osos. District 2

Hmmmm. The change to the Urban reserve Line was in processes at the Coastal Commission in 2006, then dropped there for lack of attention by the LOCSD.......Yet another delay caused by the LOCSD's bankruptcy; a lesser known one of course, but one still very important to the residents in Monarch Grove.

County Update! April 2015!

I am thankful to the County for another update as my blogging on here has been almost nonexistent of late!

Read the new stuff here:
http://www.slocounty.ca.gov/Assets/PW/LOWWP/PM+Monthly+Update+Apr+2015.pdf

The photo on the first page is stellar, and the one of the tertiary filter cloth disc media looks like a scrubber I have under my kitchen sink, only a LOT bigger.

Septic Tankville

I was at Loomis Tank Centers in Arroyo Grande today looking at tanks to capture water from the roof drain spouts. (They are very nice there and very, very helpful.) But my attention was quicky diverted to—yes, septic tanks! Unless you saw Don Bearden's tank that he parked in the front of his house several years back, pre-collection system choosing in our sewer project, you really wouldn't know how gigantic these things are as you don't really get to see what is in your own yard because it is buried. Thankfully.

Anyway, have a look! These are sparkly clean, never having experienced what there purpose in life is to be, so they smell nice too. Really! I stood right next to them!

The teeny one, 350 gallons. Kinda looks like that atom bomb, Fat Man, the inner 7-piece Duralumin sphere part.

Next, a nice HDPE model, happy to accommodate 750 gallons.

Taking on the aspect of a truncated  centipede, we have the lovely 1500 gallon model that measures 16 feet long. Link to a photo of a 16 foot great white shark.

And here is a 16 foot fiberglass model, unassembled.

Well, that is my field trip for today. I've been slacking on writing over here. I do apologize; been busy!
(Selfie with a septic!)
