News release: Project manager admits to submitting fake permit for fill of wetlands
Fiona Skye McKenna, a project manager for a firm developing properties in the Otay Mesa area [of San Diego], pleaded guilty in federal court [Monday], admitting that she falsified permits that led to the illegal discharge of pollutants in connection with a project known as the International Industrial Park. In pleading guilty, McKenna admitted that she forged permits purportedly issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to place fill dirt, rock and sand into Johnson Canyon Creek at the International Industrial Park site. McKenna falsified the permits by cutting and pasting from permits the firm had obtained for work at another site. … The wetlands area of Johnson Creek flows into the Otay River, which flows into San Diego Bay.
