Suit Filed to Halt Wind Zero's Proposed Military Training Facility Near Ocotillo
The approval of this project was a knife in the heart not just to the people who live next to the proposed site but for everyone in the Imperial Valley who loves this part of the desert. The Ocotillo Nomirage area is stunningly beautiful with wide expanses of desert backed by the mountains. In the spring the yellow brittlebush are mixed in with the red ocotillo flowers and it's spectacular. And it's wonderfully quiet and peaceful. San Diegans might want to come down and explore the area while the weather is good and before the peace is disturbed by 20 shooting ranges and a racetrack. Thanks Mr. Hargrove for the excellent story. One detail--Webb says that they moved the firing ranges a half mile from the residential neighborhood. At the Planning Commission meeting in August, his chief engineer, Jeff Lyon, stated that the semi-enclosed (read semi-open!) shooting ranges were 660 feet from the nearest house. That is 1/8 of a mile!— January 27, 2011 9:07 p.m.
