On Tuesday I visited the fallen apple orchard as the rain fell on Paul Hobbs Winery's vineyard conversion. I witnessed run-off contaminating the creek. Once again, clear cutter Paul Hobbs has violated the rules that he agreed to follow. He cut trees inside the set-back required around the year-around creek. Though I have not witnessed the sign yet, I hear that the site has a red flag on it, meaning that work must stop. It was a sad sight to see the water rushing down the road, carrying DDT, lead, arsenic, and who knows what else. Paul Hobbs is, as a neighbor described him, a "repeat offender," certainly not a man of his word.
