What's all that grading work....
On the west coast, west of Santo Tomas? G.Earth about 31-30N; 116-38W.... looks like maybe a mining operation and a port facility?
Can't figure out how to post an image from Earth or google maps... yet!

You're most likely seeing the quary just south of Punta China.

Isn't that the mine where they get the limestone to barge to Ensenada for the cement plant?

That is correct, it's a limestone quarry. Rumor had it awhile ago that they were going to pave a road out to there from the highway to truck the
stuff instead of barging it (complaints about the damage to the fishery from the limestone blowing off the barge), but nothing ever came of it.
The new rumor is that SEMPRA is nosing around down there with the idea of putting a LNG terminal at Punta Santo Tomas. Seems like they're running
into a little interference with the one planned for Bajamar (which they selected after getting dinged at TJ Playas and Rosarito). Anybody hear
anything lately on this?

Jeez, how many do they need?
ANGLERS and environmental groups charge that an energy company's plan to build a $650-million liquefied natural gas terminal near the Coronados
Islands in Mexican waters will harm marine life and a prized sport fishery just 18 miles south of San Diego.
The project, dubbed Terminal GNL Mar Adentro de Baja California by Chevron Corp., calls for erecting an offshore platform to unload tankers carrying
compressed natural gas from the Pacific Rim and distribute it via pipelines to California and Baja California. Chevron officials say that the terminal
? one of a half-dozen liquefied natural gas terminals proposed for the West Coast ? is vital to meet rising energy demands in the region. Authorities
in Mexico City have approved the project, and Chevron is seeking local permits to begin work. ... Furthermore, they say pumping and discharges of salt
water at the terminal also threaten the environment. Unlike other LNG projects proposed along the West Coast, the one at the Coronados would discharge
188 million gallons of chlorinated wastewater daily. Seawater is pumped into the terminal and used to heat the compressed gas, converting it from a
liquid of minus 256 degrees into a vapor. ...

188 million gallons of chlorinated wastewater a day? Wow. Do you have a link to that article?

LNG-P.China and Mega Port-Punta Colonet
I go to Punta San Jose often. Spoke with Victor (owns about 3,000 acres in the PSJ area. He's going to sell to ? to provide the developer ownership to
pave a 4-lane road from Punta China (new LNG facility that will wipe out the place) south to the Punta Colonent to provide energy etc to the mega port
(larger than Ensenada and LA ports) This will happen in probably 3 to 5 years according to Victor.
What to do?
