Since this is directed to the board of supervisors I will ask that they act immediately and respond to the request to declare a state of emergency for this KRRC, man made disaster. I am adding a request that the dam removal be stopped. The people voted by strong majority to not remove the dams. The KRRC and everyone involved in this disaster, circumvented our vote. Is this fair or legal? Isn’t it up to our supervisors to protect our vote? This whole disaster has opened up so many questions. We are seeing so much peripheral damage and I expect this will happen for untold years to come. Please do your jobs.
The removal of the dams is senseless in a world that is going to be electric power world.. These dams are Hydo generating electric dams which cost little to run but adds a great resource to this community..
If the dam removal is truly about to save the salmon population there are better ways to ensure the passing of the Salmon over the dams which would be far cheaper than removing dams.
In Hornbrook there is already a huge water problem. The city water department and storage goes dry more than often as it is and this will only add to the problem.. Not to even talk about fires..
The river is a huge asset for putting out the fires that happen in the area.. With the lakes being gone where will they pull water from to put out the fires? There will be a huge lost of lives and property if and when this happens.. God forbids! Then I see law suites.. This is going to be a big mess for years to come..
Hello,
I’m a concerned citizen who lives around Iron Gate.
Last year there was a letter that went out about the 4 dams being removed. But really no instructions on what we should do.
My point is, everyone who lives near these dams should have their water tested. But not at our expense. This should be automatically done through this project. But then again, would we be able to trust their testing?
There was a reason why the first contractor backed out of removing the silt, it was because it’s toxic and no place to put it. That’s when these companies should have figured it out first before the removal. So much for saving the fish and the animals.
This man-made disaster is 1000 times worse than anything I’ve ever seen when it comes to endangered, protected species, and life in general! But now the enviro-wackos are all telling us how wonderful it is! The river will recover, they say, so sit down and shut up crybabies!!! BS!!! The Trinity River Project was shut completely down for allegedly polluting the river when we were causing a teaspoon of turbidity over a duration of years of in-river sediment removal- NOT DU7MPING TOXIC SLUDGE BACK INTO THE RIVER!!!!!!! This should be immediately stopped by our Sheriff Department and all regulatory agencies should be called on the carpet for allowing it !!! BTW enviro-hypocrites, Hiroshima and Nagasaki also eventually recovered. Does this justify your position?????
Why was the sediment.not tested prior to the release? The removal of the dams is nuts, what did they think would happen, “oh a little trickle of water, it’s ok”. I feel so sorry for the people below removed dams, loosing wells, property and maybe their life down the road. The people who signed off on this should be sent to live on the path of this destruction
I have a message that is not only mine, but it is a message from many level headed Californians.. GruScum NewSCUM should be REMOVED as governor of California. He is a LIAR, CHEAT, CROOK AND JUST A PLAIN PUNK. He’s not fit for any government office in this country. He has to GO. People who voted for his PUNK 🫏 are just ignorant and NON-Caring like he is. Jail him.
HANG Grusome, NewSCUM.
