RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Accept monitoring procedures for reduction of siltation build-
up in Agua Hedionda Lagoon (AHL).
ITEM KDPLAMATIOM:
Commissioner Dahlguist requested staff to examine the
Agricultural practices used to reduce the siltation build-up
in AHL from adjacent agricultural use.
Staff contacted SDG&E (Exhibit 1) which leases land for
agricultural use on the south side of AHL. on a tour of the
agricultural land, SDG&E explained that siltation basins have
been in place since 1984 in an effort to impede siltation run-
off into the lagoon.
Disking procedures prior to planting and immediately after
harvest further reduce soil migration. SDG&E frequently
monitors the siltation basins as well as farming techniques
in an effort to reduce siltation build-up.

AGUA HEDIONDA LAGOON AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES
Thanks for your immediate response to my request to look into the
current agricultural practices on SDG&E leased land adjacent to the
south shore of Agua Hedionda Lagoon.
I appreciate finding out the facts including the information that
siltation basins were installed after our complaint in 1984 and
that SDG&E continues to monitor these basins and the farming
practices of the lessee.
Thanks for offering to have John Burton show us around the site.
Being able to see these basins and the south shore area from the
SDG&E side of the Lagoon will be an "eye opener". I'll look
forward to hearing from John.
Again, thanks for your quick response to my call.
'V*!
