Echo Park Lake Rehab Project Meeting
A meeting on the Echo Park Lake Rehabilitation Project has been scheduled for Wednesday, August 4 at 6:30 pm at Barlow Hospital.
Pollution and much-needed updates to the filtration systems are behind the Prop O funded rehab project, which is scheduled for next year – the lake will be gated up in January 2011 in preparation for the construction, and in April construction will be at full speed ahead. They will drain the 13 acre lake and haul out approximately 50,000 cubic feet of soil from the bottom, replace the lake liner, rebuild the wetlands, and replant other vegetation (including the lotus bed). They filtration systems will also be updated, as the lake does collect water runoff from the city, and will help reduce the amount of city water used to keep the lake levels high.
Wildlife activists and bird lovers have been concerned with the state of the migratory birds once the lake is drained. It seems a compromise has now been reached, and the engineers will include four temporary pools for migratory birds.
A draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was recently released, but is not yet available online. You can click here for the initial study on the City’s website. Hard copies of the draft EIR are currently available at the following locations:

the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them as well?
This might be a issue with my browser because I’ve had this happen previously.

This is the best blog site for any individual who intends to learn about this topic. You recognize a lot its virtually tough to suggest with you (not that I really would want?HaHa). You definitely placed a brand-new spin on a subject thats been discussed for years. Terrific stuff, simply excellent!
The following time I read a blog site, I wish that it doesn’t disappoint me as much as this. I mean, I understand it was my option to review, but I in fact assumed youd have something intriguing to say. All I listen to is a bunch of whimpering concerning something that you might fix if you werent also active trying to find interest.
He estado tratando de entender qué es lo que mis clientes quieren o “buscan” cuando vienen a mi sitio web. Es una información invaluable que la mayoría de nosotros intenta adivinar. Puedo ver donde el uso de las técnicas en el video realmente ayudaría a entender más acerca de mis clientes y por lo tanto me permite ofrecerles más valor en el futuro. ¿Cree que entender los deseos de sus clientes y crear contenido que satisfaga esos deseos le lleva a más conversiones?
