Christine has operated the fuel dock for 50 years – hear what she has to say
The fuel dock is vital to the marina’s operation. There is more than meets the eye:
-
The relocation strategy is deeply flawed, consisting of burying large fuel tanks into unstable ground.
-
The fuel dock provides emergency services that would disappear.
-
The bottom of the Gashouse Cove is muddy and sandy, unfit for recreational activities.
-
To top it off, the Laguna Street Outflow spills sewage into the harbor when the city sewer system is overwhelmed by heavy rains.
-
In addition, the question of decontaminating the area is still unsolved, and toxic residue still shows up on the surface.
