Lake County officials challenge PG&E’s claims about Potter Valley Project’s seismic safety
There was another development on Monday in the county of Lake’s ongoing effort to push back against Pacific Gas and Electric’s effort to remove the dams in the Potter Valley Project, including the Scott Dam that forms Lake Pillsbury, a plan the Board of Supervisors chair called “reckless.” County officials issued a Monday statement that challenged PG&E’s recent assertions that a reason for decommissioning and removing the project was due to seismic issues. … Lake County officials pointed out that, despite those reported drawbacks to the project, PG&E has still noted water storage and diversion benefits of the Potter Valley Project within its own company reports.
