They need to build a Ranger Station here.
The last one, back in the 80's or 90's was firebombed.
Sure would be nice to have a nice grassy rigging area. That place could become like Oyster Point and it would be premier!

$600k!
It could make your day.....
Or spent in an off handed way........
......be wasted away.

BAY AREA (BCN) -- The California Integrated Waste Management Board awarded
grants of more than $1.2 million in a meeting Tuesday for the cleanup
and removal of
illegal waste in two state parks in the Bay Area.

The board met in Sacramento and approved a $1.2 million dollar
grant to the Candlestick Point State Recreation Area in San Francisco and
$35,000 to Cowell Ranch/John Marsh State Historic Park in Brentwood.

"Illegal disposal is a threat and demands action" Board Chair
Margo Reid Brown said in a prepared statement. "These clean up grant, and
work partnership with local, state, and federal agencies, will help us to
protect the health of our people and our environment. "

The allocation to the Candlestick Point site will help clean up
part of the shoreline next to Monster Park stadium, the home of the San
Francisco 49ers.

The area needing cleaning covers approximately 13 acres that were
used for years as an illegal dumping site of concrete and other debris
into
San Francisco Bay, according to the board.

The Cowell Ranch site, located in Contra Costa County, will be
given a grant to fund the removal of partially buried debris from a former
ranching operation.

The grants given out Tuesday come from the board's Solid Waste
Disposal and Codisposal Grant Program, which funds the cleanup of
sites when
a responsible party cannot be identified or is unable or unwilling to pay
cleanup costs.

Just hope they don't shut it down while they clean it up.
