Two Basin Partnership pursues ‘Plan B’ for Scott Dam removal
Chances are slim to none that a group of Northern California agencies, known as the Two-Basin Partnership, will raise the funds required to take over the license for the Potter Valley Project — a water diversion system in the Eel River basin — by April 2022 but the organization remains undeterred. The Two-Basin Partnership — California Trout, Humboldt County, the Mendocino County Inland Water & Power Commission, the Round Valley Indian Tribes and Sonoma County Water Agency — requested an extension on its license transfer application to provide agencies additional time to work out a water plan and to develop strategies for dam removal and restoration of the Eel and Russian river basins.
