SALTON SEA, Calif. (KGTV) - Four years ago a 10News crew traveled to Bombay Beach on the eastern side of the Salton Sea. This once thriving resort community is littered with abandoned homes and some of the 200 plus residents who still live there struggle to get out. People like the man who would only identify himself as “Bucky.”"We own two houses. We can't replace what we have into them,” says Bucky.  “Basically we're stuck. Me and my wife talked about it a couple of weeks ago I said, 'You know we're gonna die here.'"Bucky is like so many who call the Salton Sea home. They feel forgotten, hopeless, and helpless. In 2003 California Legislators promised to restore the dying sea and its vital ecosystem with almost -billion. But that promise, like so many others since, was broken to the people who live here.But two years ago Governor Jerry Brown allocated a mere -million in an attempt to avoid an enormous environmental disaster. That may seem like a lot of money, but as Senator Ben Hueso, whose district encompasses the Salton Sea explains, “-million is a drop in the bucket” for a problem of this size.        So, four years later our 10News crew decided to return to the Salton Sea to see how residents who live there are managing their lives and what that -million is being used for. We were surprised to find not much has changed. In fact, very little money has been spent, the situation is rapidly getting worse, and the people who live there fear more broken promises.There is no denying the Salton Sea is disappearing."This is the water line previously,” says Tony May who owns several houses near the shoreline in Salton City.May points to the back edge of his yard and down to a dusty beach below where water from the Salton Sea used to lap up on his property.“It was right here as of 1993,” explains May smiling remembering a time when the property was right on the water.Today the water line is no less than 300 yards away and separated by a dusty playa scattered with dead fish and a foul-smelling body of water that once was a prime resort for fishing and waterskiing.  And, it's only getting worse. The sea is shrinking more rapidly now that flows from the Colorado River were officially cut off at the beginning of 2018. Within years thousands of acres of seabed, like that behind Tony May’s home will be exposed. The waterfront property is now only a dream to May, the boat docks are entirely useless, and 300 yards of seabed that used to be 10 feet underwater, are now just a dusty beach. Playa that according to the Salton Sea Authority contains toxic chemicals like selenium, arsenic, and DDT. Tony and many others who live and work here, claim the dust from that dry beach is what's causing their respiratory issues."They can't breathe anymore, they're getting asthma,” says May.  “They never had asthma. I talk to the employees in town and they say the more that sea dries out the more it effects our health."The Salton Sea will never return to its riviera prime. The concern now is not so much saving the sea, but instead averting disaster by creating wetlands to control the dust storms.“Because it's a major problem. It's a very big problem," says Senator Ben Hueso from California’s 40th District and home to the Salton Sea.Senator Hueso has been fighting an uphill battle for this region for almost a decade."What is going to happen should this sea begin to dry up? We're going to see that exacerbate," says Hueso. "Right now Imperial County has cities with the poorest air quality in the country. Highest asthma rates in the country. The price tag of doing nothing to fix the Salton Sea is going to be costlier than actually putting some resource into fixing it."The price tag has always been a problem for the Salton Sea dating back 15 years. State officials promised to restore the Sea in 2003 with .9-billion. That promise, like many others for this region, was broken.In 2016 a mere million was allotted by Governor Brown in his budget, with promises of millions more to come. -million of that money would go towards staff and consultants to fix the Salton Sea. The remaining -million would go to actual construction. But two years later only million has been spent on staff and consultants according to Bruce Wilcox who is Assistant Secretary and an Ecologist with the Salton Sea Policy. Not a dime has been spent on construction of wetlands to mitigate the blowing dust. "This is the old marina.  And probably this is one of the most visually enticing places to see how far the water has receded," says Frank Ruiz with Audobon California looking over a desolate landscape that was once the thriving Salton City Marina.Ruiz’ job is to monitor the migratory birds who travel through the Salton Sea along the Pacific Flyway which stretches from Alaska to Patagonia at the southernmost tip of South America, shared by Argentina and Chile. "We should not wait until the crisis is on top of us. Because then the cost of inaction will be way too high,” adds Ruiz.A study conducted by the Pacific Institute estimates the cost of doing nothing with the Salton Sea could reach as little as -billion if nothing is done and possibly as much as -billion. Ruiz has watched the sea recede for years and says he fears the growth of respiratory issues, not just for those who live in this region but eventually as far away as San Diego. He's also witnessed a massive decline of migratory birds, which play a huge role in the ecology of the region."I think birds and wildlife are good indicators of how good or how bad your environment is. If the birds go, if the wildlife go, we will go next."If that’s true, as Senator Hueso mentioned, that -million absolutely will be a drop in the bucket. 5836

SAN DIEGO - (KGTV) A San Diego biotech company is doing research that could lead to a vaccine against the coronavirus.Todd Nelson is the CEO of SGI-DNA in Sorrento Valley. His company invented the first automated gene printer. "We use that system actually to print genes. Genes are made of little building blocks that you've heard of, and we use that to rapidly, and in an automated fashion, print genes that researchers can use around the world for vaccine development. "RELATED: Miramar coronavirus evacuees start petition for quarantine oversightThe printer is called the BIO XP 3200. Roughly, 200 are in use around the world. "We're basically taking an entire laboratory of researchers that are doing various things, and we put it in a box," said Nelson.Researchers are using the printer to write the genes of the coronavirus."Even a nasty little thing like the coronavirus has its own genes, and there are certain genes that make that amenable to being a vaccine, and we know what those are so we put the information into the system, and we push a button and about 8 hours later that potential gene comes out ," said Nelson. RELATED: Mislabeled sample led to release of San Diego coronavirus patientNelson is confident the technology will lead to a vaccine. "We're partnering with pharmaceutical firms to develop that in a very, very rapid fashion in the next 7 to 10 days to develop a vaccine," said Nelson. The company used the same technology to help develop a vaccine for the Bird Flu in 2013. Dan Gibson is the company's chief technology officer and the inventor of the technology used in the gene printer.RELATED: First case of coronavirus confirmed in San Diego"That's really the power of synthetic DNA technology.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A collective of conservation organizations filed lawsuits Thursday against San Diego County and its board of supervisors for approving a controversial housing development in the Otay Ranch community, with the groups claiming that the development endangers wildlife and the development's future residents. The project known as Adara was approved last month with a 3-2 vote and involves construction of more than 1,000 homes and a commercial village core, along with an elementary school, fire station, sheriff's office, trails, electric vehicle charging stations, solar panels and more than 700 acres of open space and parks. Environmental groups contend that its location, between the city of Chula Vista and rural community Jamul, is home to several endangered and protected plant and animal species and is at exceptional risk for wildfires. Plaintiffs include the Center for Biological Diversity, Preserve Wild Santee, the California Chaparral Institute, Endangered Habitats League, California Native Plant Society and the Sierra Club. ``Building houses in this fire-prone place will put people at risk, and it'll wreak havoc on golden eagles and other wildlife,'' said Peter Broderick, an attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity. ``By approving this sprawl project, officials have put both homeowners and wildlife in danger. They've dealt a big setback to sustainable development in San Diego County.'' In their complaint, the plaintiffs referenced county data identifying ``22 special-status plants and 28 special-status wildlife species'' on the project site. They also allege that the area is especially prone to wildfires, which was noted by Supervisor Dianne Jacob in her dissenting vote on the project. The complaint states the area ``has burned at least 17 times in the last 100 years'' and is ``at serious risk for fast-moving, wind-driven fires.'' The site's steep terrain would make suppressing fires difficult, and homeowners would only have one evacuation route available, according to the plaintiffs. Peter Andersen, chair of the Sierra Club's San Diego Chapter, called the project ``a fire trap that endangers all East County residents, contributes to severe traffic jams and destroys multiple species' habitat,'' while Richard Halsey of the California Chaparral Institute said ``History has shown that during a wind-driven wildfire, developments like this one in a known fire corridor can and have been destroyed by embers flying a mile or more ahead of the flame front. The claim that a development like this is fire safe ignores everything we have learned during the destructive 2017 and 2018 firestorms.'' 2662

SAN DIEGO — A couple who evacuated from the Woolsey Fire in Los Angeles says their Airbnb hosts kicked them out of their unit and cleaned out all their belongings, forcing them to live with relatives in San Diego.Ben and Jessica Wells said they rented out the Airbnb unit in July, paying in advance through May.The newlywed couple had been living there as they searched for a home to buy.It was a studio apartment located in West Hills, a community on the western edge of the San Fernando Valley, which backed up to where the Woolsey Fire was burning.“I could see the fire burning on the hill. I saw the smoke,” said Ben, who got an evacuation alert on his phone while at the gym.He went home to meet his wife, frantically packing up some important belongings.“We were not trying to check out of the place at all. Obviously things were a mess, clothes were everywhere. We were just trying to basically make sure we had everything we needed just in case everything burnt,” said Jessica.After they left, the Airbnb hosts contacted them to see if they could go inside the unit and turn off the lights. Ben said he agreed to let them in for that purpose.But once inside, owners Larry and Jeri Hannah said they were shocked by what they saw.“I don’t even know how they were living there,” said Larry. “We couldn’t believe the mess we saw.”In addition to the clothes scattered about, the Hannahs say the grout on the tile floor in the bathroom had been stained black. They said the walls needed painting and some of the flooring needed to be replaced.“When It became obvious that we weren’t going to let them come back then we just decided we were going to clean it up because we didn’t want to leave it like that,” said Larry.In order to do that, they removed all of the Wells’ belongings and told them the rest of their reservation had been canceled.The Wells said they agreed to pay through the end of November if they could keep their stuff there. But when Ben arrived on November 17, he said he was surprised to see their belongings strewn across the property.Expensive recording equipment had been left outside, he said. Other belongings had been thrown in trash bags. Some appeared to be missing.“At that point I was in shock, just completely shaken,” said Ben.He grabbed what he could find, not knowing that more of their belongings had been stored in a shed on the property.“Their stuff is all still here,” said Larry.In a statement, a spokesperson with Airbnb wrote, “We are urgently investigating this incident to better understand what happened. There have been more than 400 million guest arrivals in Airbnb listings to date and negative incidents are extremely rare.”  2704

SAN DIEGO (AP) — California health officials have warned that a severe flu season could overwhelm hospitals that also are dealing with COVID-19. California Secretary of Health and Human Services Dr. Mark Ghaly joined the heads of the state's hospital and medical associations to urge people to get flu vaccines now. Ghaly said while the state has seen progress in recent weeks with a drop in coronavirus cases, officials expect an uptick as the economy continues to open. That makes it critical for hospitals to keep bed space available. Officials said currently hospitals are treating 3,500 confirmed and suspected COVID-19 patients. About 30 percent are in intensive care units. 688
