Supervisors approve letter to federal energy regulator, public statement on Lake Pillsbury and Scott Dam
The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved a letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and a public statement on its opposition to the removal of the Scott Dam and the destruction of Lake Pillsbury. County Counsel Anita Grant and Tax Administrator Patrick Sullivan, also the county’s treasurer-tax collector-elect, presented the documents to the supervisors for their approval. The letter is addressed to the chair of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, while the public statement was issued to media outlets, with particular emphasis on targeting publications in the Bay Area and North Coast communities that would be impacted by the loss of the Lake Pillsbury water source.
