A historic agreement has been signed in Sacramento, charting the future of the Eel River.
North Coast officials gathered to finalize the pact, which addresses the decommissioning of PG&E’s Potter Valley powerhouse and dam removal. The agreement, years in the making, balances crucial water needs for the Russian River watershed with long-needed Eel River restoration.
It modernizes water diversions for Sonoma and Mendocino counties while aiming to correct past environmental injustices and protect endangered fish species.
