Subject:Solar panels at Cerritos wetlands
Good morning Mr. Temple,
As a previous naturalist and manager for all of the Parks in Torrance and for the Madrona Marsh Preserve, I have been
following this project very closely for many, many years. It has the potential of being amazing and resource as an
incredible biological resource for residential and migratory flora and fauna.
While I am excited that there will be in the future and have been improvements to the Cerritos wetlands, I am still
concerned about the solar panels installation project.
Even though the footprint has been reduced an EIR is necessary because the scope of work still has the panels located so
near critical habitat.
I am a birder and a naturalist. With everything that is happening with the climate lately, it is incumbent upon we who
are stewards of land to take responsible actions and make or help others make excellent decisions based on the health
of these wetlands, far into future.
Please share these thoughts with the city council.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Tracy Drake
