Humboldt supervisors consider next steps for decommissioning the Potter Valley Project
After years of planning and negotiations, Pacific Gas & Electric Company is finalizing a proposal to decommission the aging Potter Valley Project and demolish two dams on the upper Eel River. If everything goes according to plan, the Scott Dam and Cape Horn Dam could come down in 2028. … At this week’s meeting of the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors, the board will consider a memorandum of understanding (MOU) developed by a coalition of Northern California counties, tribes, conservation groups and regulatory agencies that, if approved, would set the terms of a water diversion agreement for NERF — the “New Eel-Russian Facility.”
