Understanding the Impacts on Water, Wildfire and Communities

Our new Myth vs. Fact resource highlights critical issues that PG&E’s Surrender Application doesn’t fully address, including wildfire suppression, water security, economic impacts, and environmental justice.

Many common claims about the Potter Valley Project and Scott Dam aren’t supported by facts. Before making decisions, the facts must be clear. The Potter Valley Project has long served as a vital source of water, energy and ecological balance for communities throughout Northern California. For over a century, the Scott and Cape Horn Dams have supported Lake Pillsbury’s role in recreation, wildfire resilience and water supply while facilitating flows that benefit people and wildlife in the Russian River watershed. Removing this vital infrastructure would have lasting consequences for Lake County and beyond.
