	Erosion Gullies in the Tehachapi Pass: An Example of Improper Wind Development
		Though the Tehachapi area is susceptible to so-called cloudbursts typical of the world's desert regions, and critics had warned developers during the mid 1980s that they were cutting roads in erodible soils too close to the edge of steep escarpments, the industry appeared dumbfounded when it awoke to the damage soon afterwards.
		Environmentalists' distaste of erosion, apart from the increased siltation of stream beds, alteration of stream courses, and increased flooding that accompany it, results from the scars it leaves on the land.
		It is possible that the original practices on Tehachapi's Cameron Ridge, where the erosion is most serious, were sufficient, he says, but that over time, funds were diverted to other activities.
