State’s dust busting efforts at Salton Sea ‘one-sided’?
At the Salton Sea’s western edge, near Salton City, the efforts of the Salton Sea Management Program are starting to show promise. But as the western side of the lake begins to stabilize, a different story is unfolding at Bombay Beach on the eastern shore. At the Clubhouse Site of the SSMP’s Vegetation Enhancement Project just outside of Salton City, grass bales laid out across acres of exposed lakebed have begun to serve their intended purpose. Vegetation is now sprouting between them and slowly covering the dusty landscape. This success has fueled optimism among SSMP officials, who believe they are seeing the kind of progress needed to combat the dust storms and environmental degradation that have plagued the area for years.
