In a move that virtually assures funding for a multimillion-dollar restoration project at Batiquitos Lagoon in Carlsbad, the state Coastal Commission gave the go-ahead for construction of a pipeline from Los Angeles to Texas.

Meeting in San Francisco, the commission voted 11-1 to approve the pipeline if Pacific Texas puts money for the lagoon restoration into an escrow account.
