The Gazette reported this week that Mayor Schroder was appointed to the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board. Reportedly he will be filling a long-standing vacant seat, and will specifically represent local government. “Each regional board makes critical water quality decisions for its region, including setting standards, issuing waste discharge requirements, determining compliance with those requirements, and taking appropriate enforcement actions.”
Just so you know, city beaver-betrayer Mary Tappel works for the waterboard. Waterboards are notoriously anti-beaver, so he should feel right at home.
Mind you, this is a man that went on national television and called historic Alhambra Creek a ‘drainage ditch’,that originally authorized killing the beavers, that approved scraping the entire habitat and allowing the silty overflow to drain illegally back into our creek, that won’t allow the planting of Riparian trees, and authorized the installation of a second sheetpile wall in front of a prior sheetpile wall, thus restricting flow by 20%.
Apparently he had a letter of recommendation from beaver-supporter Ted Radke, and the Western States Petroleum Association. So I’m just wondering…
Maybe they meant a different kind of waterboard?
