A plan years in the making to restore the Buena Vista Lagoon at the border of Carlsbad and Oceanside, perhaps to its original saltwater condition, will have its watershed moment on Friday.
The board of directors at the regional planning agency known as SANDAG is being asked to approve the final environmental impact report for the Buena Vista Lagoon enhancement project.
Agency staff members have recommended the project include the controversial proposal to remove the weir, a low dam at the mouth of the lagoon that keeps seawater out. The weir is what makes Buena Vista the only freshwater lagoon in San Diego County.
