Demand for Return of Water that is Natural to the Eel River
We will not allow Eel River Water to be treated as a commodity. It belongs in its natural course. For 100 years the Eel River headwaters have been diverted into the Russian River via the PG& E Potter Valley Hydroelectric Project (PVP). The severe impacts to both river systems have been well documented and violate the Public Trust. More than 100 miles of prime Coho and Steelhead habitat have been lost behind the PVP dams. Billions of dollars have been lost from the economy of Humboldt and Mendocino counties by the impact of this diversion on its fisheries. Both dams and tunnel are old and in questionable condition, putting downstream homeowners at risk. It is imperative that PG& E's PVP diversion be removed so that water necessary for the health of the mainstem of the Eel River can be returned. We the undersigned insist on the return of the Eel River water to its natural system. A 100-year-old mistake must not be allowed to continue.
