s- forestry service. thousands of pounds of trash and numerous c chemicals were federal narcotics agents destroyed 1.4 million marijuana plants last year according to the forestry service thousands of pounds of trash and toxic chemicals were also taken out. >> john blackstone joined agents in southern california as they tried to crack down on the illegal and dangerous growing operation. >> reporter: it is so rugged in the san bernardino national forest that federal agents searching for marijuana are sometimes lifted from place to place by helicopter. >> we have a marijuana garden down here with an unknown number of plants and as of right now an unknown number of suspects. >> the us forest is overseeing this operation. armed officers from the forest service and the california department of fish and wildlife go in first. >> we found another plot. >> heads up, okay? >> reporter: when they determine it is safe, at least relatively safe -- >> there is always a chance for

the forest. >> the environmental damage is huge. >> reporter: in a way, operations like this are less a war on drugs, and more a battle to protect the environment. the growers have done more damage cutting down all this vegetation to plant the marijuana. but, then down here enforcement team found what they feared -- this is a band pesticide in the united states. that has turned this area into a toxic waste dump. >> even a small amount of the pesticide can kill wildlife and further denigrate this area that includes a campsite filled with trash. it is the kind of damage done by illegal marijuana cultivation on public lands throughout the west. on average 400 marijuana growing sites are found in national forests each year. >> for all the ones we find, there are probably 2-3 more that we didn't. >> reporter: you can grow this legally in california. why does somebody come and do

this in a national forest with all the difficulty ato avoid rules and regulations that the state has put into place by coming onto federal land and growing it illegally. >> reporter: cut down and bundled, this isarried out by air to be destroyed. but the damage done to the forest remains. john blackstone in the san bernardino national forest. >> let's see how wall street is doing at this hour. stocks are higher as we take a look at the dow. it is up about 144 points right now. job applicants hope a good resume will help them stand out but some people stretch the truth. according to a survey, others flat out lie. a new career builder survey says that 75% of hiring managers have spotted a lie on a resume. hiring managers have also shared some of the most outrageous resume mistakes from applicants. one person wrote out an extensive arrest history, while another person listed 40

different jobs in a single year. >> i always say that i am proficient in microsoft excel, and i cannot -- i can hardly open it. >> people are trying to stand out and get the attention of employers right now, unfortunately, thee membed fore wrg reasons instead. it only lies, also mistakes that could stop you from getting a job, like typos and bad grammar. of course, unprofessional email addresses. >> it is good to tell the truth. just remember that. we are still on storm watch for hawaii. hurricane lane has been downgraded to a hurricane -- category two. they are dropping torrential rains flooding low-lying areas and creating landslides in some parts of the big island. they received 20 inches of rain in 24 hours. we have been tracking the storm all day. >> we have some very impressive rain total so far. i want to show you the beach right now. yesterday, at this time we showed you the view. there was a lot of people in the water waiting to catch

those waves before the hurricane actually hit. now, lookãthere are a few in there. 5-6 people catching waves. the watercolor has changed. there is a lot of rain water now that has worked his way into the ocean along with mud. that is associated with the heavy flooding and mudslides. it is a category two, but that does not mean they are out of the woods. they are definitely dealing with wind gusts, 130 miles per hour sustained winds. it is now 170 miles south of honolulu and moving north at only 2 miles per hour. this morning it was only moving at five. this thing is stubborn and it is staying put. when it moves the slow it means that it will continue to duckã dump more and more rain over the islands. the big island getting a big lips is a bit of a break. those other islands, that is worldly rain is coming down. it will downgrade overnight to a category one. but then by tomorrow and into sunday it should eventually turn into a tropical storm, and work its way out towards the

west. so, what we are noticing, a few of these plots are showing that the eye of the storm may not make landfall at all. it was showing earlier that it could. it looks like it is going to stay to the south, but it does not really matter where the eye of the storm goes. what does matter is all of this right here. that is a lot of moisture that these hawaiian islands will be pelted with for the next at least 48-72 hours. so, saturday, sunday, look at all that rain that is expected to come down. let's take you back here to home. this is the view from oakland, where is san francisco? usually it is right there. hazy right now, 62 in san francisco. oakland is at 63, concorde 70. at least it is not too hot. we are not talking about the heat in the haze. but, what we are seeing is not going to be good for the lungs. air quality is in the moderate or unhealthy a west wind pushing in that smoke that has moved over the pacific ocean into our region. it is not too strong at the moment, which is kind of causing that stagnant air

unfortunately. there are a few lows around us keeping our temperatures cool. that is why today will be below average. it should pãfeel pretty comfortable temperature wise. 83 in morgan hill. even our hottest spots that tend to be in the 90s, low 80s. that is giving you a break. next week these numbers will be even cooler. 74 in kentfield. 75 in nevada. up in lake county, 88/86 in clearlake. the show you that seven day forecast. tomorrow, just a slight warm- up, then by sunday and monday, look at that -- temperatures in the 70s. we will be right back. the sunset sunrise report is sponsored by kelly moore paints. go are the pros go. the painters paint store. e prok

the start of school to nthan 8 su a bill that would delay the start time of schools across the state is getting some steam. supporters say students would be less sleep deprived as a result, but the california teachers association says the bill takes away local control. a similar piece of legislation was shot down last year. >> state lawmakers have passed a bill aiming to reduce waste from plastic straws. under this bill restaurants would not be allowed to give out plastic straws unless a customer asks for one. governor brown will have until the end of next month to decide whether to sign it into law. we will be right back after this.
