PG&E Stewardship Council Meeting Outcome

The FERC Draft EIS (Environmental Impact Statement) On The Destruction of Kilarc and South Cow Creek Facilities |
|---|
To download and read the FERC Draft EIS click the following link: FERC Draft EIS FERC has gathered input on their Draft EIS and are currently preparing their Final EIS for release. No date has been given to expect the final EIS. |
Click the link below to read an outline of the July 14th meeting re: the draft EIS. The outline does not record every comment but is the recollection of the author from notes taken at the meeting. I hope you will find them useful. Please pass them on as you see suitable. We are very grateful for all who attended and expressed their comments. |
A Note from Maggie: Further to today's (July 9th, 2010) article (front page of the Record-Searchlight: follow link here: Record Searchlight July 9th article) the public should be aware and protest loudly that the projected cost of destroying Kilarc (politely called decommissioning) is at the moment $14.5 million! This cost will be born by the ratepayers and be passed on to us as inflated PG &E bills. Everyone should be up in arms. There is no evidence of salmon or steelhead above the Whitmore Falls and no proof that fish habitats will be improved.
The Shasta Evergreen proposal, supported by the public, Shasta County & SPI is a win/win proposal for all and would preserve the reservoir, improve the wheelchair accessible picnic area, run the hydro plants a source of green power, provide jobs, preserve the environment & historical artifacts. In addition a conservation area is proposed that would enhance fish habitats!
There is no logical reason that the proposed decommissioning cannot be stopped.
Please attend Tuesday's (Aug. 17th, 2010) meeting at the Whitmore Community Center 6-8pm and make your voices heard. We must stop this travesty. Maggie Trevelyan |
