In spring 2012, the City of Elk Grove, a
community just south of Sacramento, California, opened a rain garden
that is a magnet for wildlife, prevents pollution from running off into
local streams, and an important tool to teach others about how use
similar earth-friendly techniques in their own yard. Paul Mewton, Chief
of Planning, Cosumnes Community Services District, and Greg Gearheart,
State Water Resources Control Board, discuss this innovative park and
how land use in the Central Valley still impacts our coast and ocean.
