Description
Description | The project involves dismantling the Pacific Gas and Electric Company's Potter Valley Project hydroelectric plant, including the removal of Scott and Cape Horn dams. The Inland Water and Power Commission is exploring options to increase water storage capacity in Potter Valley and Lake Mendocino, such as increasing lake storage, pumping more water, creating a new dam, and expanding storage ponds, to mitigate the impact of losing the current water diversions from the Eel River to the Russian River. |
