Blog: California Auditor Raises Concerns About Salton Sea
From The Sacramento Bee Capitol Alert blog:
“California officials need to start focusing on restoring the ailing Salton Sea or else the state faces hundreds of millions of dollars in new costs as early as 2025, according to a new state audit.
“The sea, the state’s largest body of water, has been steadily shrinking, exposing the polluted seabed to desert winds. Experts say air-quality risks will increase beginning in 2017, when the sea stops receiving extra water as part of a landmark 2003 pact that reduces the flow the state receives from the Colorado River.”
