PERSPECTIVES ON THE OWENS LAKE

In our regular coverage of news and info from Patsiata/Owens Lake, we have included this recording of Kathy Bancroft (Lone Pine Paiute-Shoshone Reservation) and Danelle Gutierrez (Big Pine Paiute Tribe of Owens Valley) sharing their knowledge of the Lake for the Owens Lake Scientific Advisory Panel (OLSAP)

The Owens Lake Scientific Advisory Panel (OLSAP) was established to provide ongoing advice on scientific and technical issues related to reduction of airborne dust in the Owens Valley in California.  The creation of the Panel was specified in a 2014 stipulated judgment entered into by the Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District in California and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.  OLSAP will hold periodic meetings and provide advice through consensus reports.
