LAGUNA BEACH

A handful of residents may have helped the California Regional Water Quality Board make its decision to uphold Laguna Niguel’s cleanup and abatement order of Aliso Creek.
“I would congratulate [Laguna Beach residents] for caring enough to show up,” said Laurie Black, one of six members of the board. “Sometimes people see the runoff and don’t do anything about it.”
The board voted unanimously Wednesday to deny Laguna Niguel’s request to delay a cleanup order. The board ordered the city and the county to submit a report by 5 p.m. Friday on what steps it will take to clean the creek, or face fines up to $5,000 a day.
