Cape Horn Dam (California Water Boards)
Officials are advancing plans for a new pump system to secure continued diversions from the Eel River to supply Lake Mendocino and the Russian River. The new system will replace structures that will be taken out when PG&E removes its two dams from the area. The goal is to secure sufficient reservoir storage and year-round flows in the Russian River after PG&E decommissions the Potter Valley hydroelectric project, which has channeled Eel River water for more than a century.
