Notice of Public Meetings Meeting Topic: Temporary Urgency Change in Agency’s Water Right Permits, State Water Board Decision 1610 Dates and Locations: May 1, 2007 – Ukiah City Hall, 300 Seminary Ave, Ukiah, CA May 2, 2007 – Healdsburg City Hall, 401 Grove St., Healdsburg, CA May 3, 2007 – Guerneville Veterans Memorial Hall, First and Church Sts., Guerneville, CA Time: 7p.m – 9p.m. The Sonoma County Water Agency will hold three public meetings to discuss its petition for temporary urgency change in the Agency’s water right permits with the State Water Resources Control Board to request lower minimum flows in the Russian River. Conditions in the current water year are even less favorable than conditions in water years 2004 and 2002, when Lake Mendocino storage levels declined to dangerously low levels. Unless some action is taken, the Agency predicts that storage in Lake Mendocino will decline to about 14,000 acre-feet at the beginning of the fall Chinook migration, and to 8,000 acre-feet by the end of the fall. Reduced minimum flow requirements would provide the Agency with sufficient flexibility to balance releases from both Lake Mendocino and Lake Sonoma to meet peak water supply demands, while preserving much of the fishery and recreational benefits that the river provides. Agency staff will provide a formal presentation. Written comments may be submitted at the meetings or thereafter to the General Manager/Chief Engineer of the Sonoma County Water Agency, PO Box 11628, Santa Rosa, CA 95406. For more information about the meetings visit www.sonomacountywater.org, or contact Brad Sherwood, water agency programs specialist, at 707.521.6204 or [email protected].
