On the heels of all the talk of “the quarry” being a good site for the new NRG Power Plant comes news that The Hanson/Heidelberg Cement Group is hosting a “reclamation plan workshop” on the site of their old quarry on Saturday, November 8, from 10:30 AM to 2:00 PM.
The west end of this valley was acquired earlier this year for permanent, natural open space. The east end is home of one of the highest water falls, closest to the coast, in all of southern California. The City of Oceanside allowed the Quarry Creek shopping center to lay asphalt to within a few feet of the water falls and install a very large WalMart/Kohls sign above it. . . The area in question is in Carlsbad. The same developer wants to develop it. Many people want to acquire it as additional open space, “water falls to the waves” concept. This the stream that feeds the Buena Vista lagoon, the only fresh water lagoon in southern California.
The old quarry is located in the southwest corner of Highway 78 and College Blvd. Travel west on Haymar from College Blvd. past the auto dealer. Turn south at the Hanson sign. Follow directions to parking and workshop.
