Agenda Item
6.7 25-1771:30 P.M. - (a) Consideration of Comments to Pacific Gas and Electric Company in Response to their Draft Application for Surrender of License and Application for Non-Project Use of Project Lands; (b) Consideration of a Letter to California Governor Gavin Newsom Highlighting Considerations Regarding Scott Dam Decommissioning in Consideration of Executive Order N-16-25; and (c) Consideration of a Letter to Federal Agencies Regarding Scott Dam Decommissioning in Relation to Recent Executive Orders from President Donald Trump
Those are excellent letters you have prepared. Across California there many examples of dams providing critical water storage without fish passage, with DFW installing a fish hatchery to actually increase the fish population as mitigation. The Sacramento River and American Rivers are good examples. The Russian River has 2 dams without ladders and a hatchery. The Eel River has historically been one of the most poorly managed rivers in California and our state and federal governments are about to take the most disastrous environmental action to happen here this century. I have very little faith in our state government, but hopefully the Trump administration will step in and stop this. Great job drafting those letters.
It is utter insanity to allow a lake to be destroyed in California. Don't allow it to happen.
Lake Pillsbury is a vital water resource, and is extremely important to firefighting operations in the area. We need more water storage in California, not less. Please vote yes to move forward with sending these letters in support of Lake Pillsbury.
The negligence and Corruption here is stunning. We need more water storage, not less. This gross mismanagement of California's precious fresh water is harming vast numbers of people, including farmers who are driven out of business by California's negligent policies. Stop tearing down these important dams!
