Marconi said the $139 million project is on schedule to be fully operational in March 2013, with fuel oil reclamation beginning this December. He also addressed the ongoing fuel plume that is leaking contaminants into the soil and ocean adjacent to the base, which he said is a five- to 10-year mitigation project. He said there will be a system in place by March 2011 to begin recovering the oil. City may install Graffiti Tracker system in 2011 Cox said the city is in the process of implementing the Graffiti Tracker system already used throughout the county in cities like Escondido and Oceanside. According to the company’s website, the system catalogs graffiti into a database in order to help identify, track, prosecute and seek restitution from taggers. At the Oct. 13 meeting of the City Council’s Committee on Public Safety and Neighborhood Services, the committee unanimously recommended that the city and county negotiate a contract for the service.
