dunefreak Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Trash pick-up Lynnette Elser What exactly is that going to be about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 What exactly is that going to be about? I will let you know tomorrow evening for sure. But it may be about dumpsters in Tecopa or the usual suggestion that someone makes about putting them at the dunes which ain't gonna happen.

Sandemon Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 DISCUSSION ITEMS: Dumont Dunes Road/Water Crossing Mike Trost The new wider crossing is in and ready to use, The road will be getting a new layer of asphalt grindings from a road project this fall as well as a seal coat. Trash pick-up Lynnette Elser Inyo County Closure of Transfer Stations Gerry Heiller/Sam Merck These two are somewhat related, there has been an ongoing problem with people not secureing their trash and having it blow out on the way home as well as using the dumpsters in Tecopa that are there for the residents of Inyo Co. This year there will be a push to "Pack it in pack it out and pack it all the way home" Supplemental Rules Dan Briot There are some suplimentle rules that are being planned the ones that will affect Dumont are, No person shalplace upon or pound into the ground any non-flexible objects No dumping of grey water No camping incuding day camping in the Comp Hill Corridor and at Comp Hill 2008 Fee collection Terry Allen / Lynnette Elser You will need to get your passes before you get to the dunes this year, there may or may not be vendors selling them at the dunes, only week long passes will be avalible at the begining of the season but you will be credited what you spend towards an yearlong pass, so save your passes.

JoeDuner Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Is there a reason for no grey water dumping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Is there a reason for no grey water dumping? I would guess because soapy water containing varies chemicals isn't natural for the environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandemon Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Is there a reason for no grey water dumping? Clean water soaks into the ground and the "grey" in greywater stays at or near the surface, not much of a problem unless you are in a concentrated area with hundreds of people doing it.

EY3BA11 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I think the best part is "No person shalplace upon or pound into the ground any non-flexible objects" part. Which means If you are caught with REBAR pounded into the fingerdune you can get in trouble for it FINALLY. Im glad this was taken care of before a serious accident occured like someont falling and impaling themselves on this rebar. That was a very very dangerous thing in the past..

Richard Cheese Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) and ive been rethinking this pay to play thing........welfare recipients dont have to "pay to live in an apartment with a big screen and satellite TV" why do they get away with it, and we don't?

ynot Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 the rebar thing won't get enforced...there isn't enough LEO's to do it Richard I am glad to see that you have such a positive attitude. As a matter of fact I sat next to the head LEO during this meeting and as soon as the rules commettee allows this rule change it will be enforced. As far as grey water it has been allowed in the past for basin type water dumping but it has been abused to the point of dumping grey water from motorhomes etc. The high concentration of people in one area makes it a health hazard and it will not be allowed anymore. If your tent camping and wash the dishes in a bucket,tray whatever then there is no problem with disposing of that water on the ground.

Sincity_blondie Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Is there a list of locations of where we can buy the annual passes yet?? I read in my sand sports mag that online might be an option eventually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I'm glad hear about they "rebar rule" too. I can't believe no one has been seriously hurt. I think the comments about leo's are just out of frustration. I personally would like to see the more serious/dangerous situations handled first. ........... I.E. Doubles riding, kids riding bikes that are to big, no helmets,rebar/stakes.....etc. I realize there are only so many officers and they seem that they could do better at picking their battles.

YNOT.......I'm NOT knocking our LEO's, or their lack of enforcement. What I am saying is that if there were MORE LEO's at D, especially during the peak weekends, then EVERYTHING would be enforced in greater numbers. I know it is a problem, as members have described encounters with LEO's on the big weekends. They are edgy and stressed out because they are overwhelmed with the crowds and lack of common sense. I think it is a good idea that rebar will no longer be legal to put up on the finger dunes....it's a question of safety. What I am asking is it's enforcement going to take priority over other safety issues, because they are NOT enforced 100% all the time. If I came off as being negative, that isn't what I wanted to portray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
