I read this article in the Bay Area Action "Action" newsletter
(www.baaction.org) and thought it might be of interest to bay
sailors.
paraphrased:
SFO expected to propose reconfig of runway system; will involve
construction of a new runway that would require placement of an
estimated 300 acres of fill in SF Bay.
There are substantial federal, state and public roadblocks to
placing this fill.
The only way such a massive fill might be conntenanced is by the
provision of extraordinarily valuable mitigation. We are exploring
mitigation possibilities ... the most sweeping mitigation we can
think of is the purchase of Cargill Salt's 29,000 acres of solar
salt produciton lands in South San Francisco Bay. These could be
purchased and restored with airport monies to various tidal wetland
functions.
