We are pleased to share some exciting news regarding our ongoing efforts to enhance the sustainability and resilience of our water resources. After considerable planning, collaboration, and dedication, we have successfully submitted the Coastal Development Permit (CDP) application for the Water Reclamation Facility and the San Simeon Creek Instream Flows Assessment to include Van Gordan Creek to the County of San Luis Obispo (see link in sidebar).

This marks a major milestone in our mission to secure Cambria's reliable and sustainable water supply. The Water Reclamation Facility is a key component of our long-term water management strategy. This project is essential in ensuring that our community remains resilient to water challenges, including droughts and climate change.

This journey is long from over. We expect an information hold while we update our Adaptive Management Plan (AMP) with our consultants. However, in consultation with the County planners, they agreed that submitting the application was the correct choice while they worked with us through the permitting process. In September, we will bring forward a scope change that will allow our consultant (SWCA) to begin working on several updates, including the AMP, EIR Addendum, Compliance memo, and Policy Consistency Analysis.

We recognize that this success would not have been possible without the support and input of our community. We sincerely thank everyone who participated in public meetings, provided feedback, and worked alongside us to make this a reality. Your engagement has been invaluable, and we are committed to keeping you informed as we move forward with the permitting phases. The Coastal Development Permit submission is only the beginning of the next chapter in this project. We will continue to work closely with local and state agencies to ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements while advancing this critical project.

As always, we welcome your questions, comments, and ongoing participation. Together, we can build a more sustainable future for Cambria. Thank you for your continued support.
