Mendocino supes debate resolution favoring Potter Valley Project dam decommissioning

THE MENDOCINO COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS recently discussed dueling resolutions on PG&E’s position in the decommissioning of the Potter Valley Project’s dams. 

For more than 100 years, the Potter Valley Project has diverted water from the Eel River to the Russian River Watershed through two dams — the Scott Dam at Lake Pillsbury and Cape Horn Dam at Lake Van Arsdale — that have supplied water to communities throughout Mendocino and Sonoma counties.
