List of Reports

Description: I saw these tires about a month ago and today when I passed by, the tires were still there. Two tires next to the road, picture is attached.

Description: Idling truck

Description: A huge cloud that seems to be a field burning

Description: Went out for a run. While on my run I noticed a dark substance being spilled into what appeared to me as a canal.

Description: This site has become an illegal dump site in Calexico. There are over 100 tires pilled up, in addition to other items.

Description: There is a burnt out trailer on the side of the road, approximately 6.3 miles west of the Border Patrol checkpoint located where Highways 78 and 86 split, about halfway between Westmorland and Salton City. It appears to have been there for quite some time.

Description: Today's current Air Quality Index level is listed as "unhealthy" on the Imperial County Air Quality Control Board website. Indeed, as I left my home in El Centro to go grocery shopping, I quickly noticed a hazy sky and dust enveloping my surroundings. On my way back home, I noticed that the majority of wind blown dust came from the dirt roads on an agricultural plot east of the Cardenas grocery store. The wind blown dust I noticed, originated from an agricultural field located on the corner of LaBrucherie and Lincoln Ave. This must be a common occurrence -- perhaps the dirt road should be minimized, paved, or regulated? There is a school playground and neighborhoods nearby and I can only imagine the role it plays in their lives of students when playing outdoors on days like today. Perhaps this nearby school (MLK Elementary School) ought to participate in an air quality flag program?

Description: Today was an especially wind day in El Centro. Trash was strewn about in town and the Cardenas grocery store had a high concentration of plastic bags and mixed trash accumulated by the entrance. This is an ongoing problem, but more noticeable on windy days like today. Since it is easily wind blow it can easily end up miles away -- on the road, and in bodies of water.

Description: This drain is extremely dirty due to the garbage that has been thrown in the drain, the water is a greenish color and it has a very foul smell.

Description: Fresh oil leaking on desert floor. Pattern Energy just completed an oil clean up of the turbines. Of course all of them were not cleaned. This oil is fresh, because it is shiny. Old oil will have a dark appearance from dust, which by the way is another problem. Just think, only another 26 years to go. Maybe the whole site will be black by then?
