What is your top environmental concern and how would you address it?

Proper watershed and stormwater protection measures. Because we are always protecting ourselves from (and preparing ourselves for) the threat of drought and subsequent flooding, we need to pass Prop D for flood mitigation, open space, and water quality protection. I also aim to promote healthy watershed protection measures and address non-compliance with stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWP3). When contractors fall out of compliance with SWP3 protocols, this should be immediately addressed by the project owner.
