Dear Friends,
At the end of 2006 we launched this newsletter and are pleased to share with you the latest news and issues affecting our community.
The most important news at El Sobrante has been our recent installation of a state-of-the-art landfill gas flare. This new ultra-low emissions flare will replace an existing system of landfill gas flares and will help decrease emissions caused by the gas produced by the natural decomposition of landfill waste. You might have noticed that we have been ramping up our litter control efforts, both internally at the landfill and in the greater community. In this issue, we also have a little more information about the 52 Coastal California Gnatcatchers who make our wildlife habitat their home. We are constantly monitoring the habitat to ensure the best possible conditions for the gnatcatchers and other endangered species that live there, which is why we have recently turned our attention to coming up with the best way to solve a difficult issue for us—taking a humane approach to removing feral cats that have been living at the landfill.
We continue to watch Corona and Riverside County flourish around us. In January, the Los Angeles Times pointed out that in the last 15 years, the county has seen an 89 percent growth in jobs—outpacing growth in the coastal counties. We’re proud to serve the residents of the County as the area continues to develop as a great area to live and work.
Best wishes,
Damon De Frates
District Manager
