Water Company Wants to Barge Albion Water to San Diego http://www.albionnation.org/WaterBarge.htm
The California State Water Resources Board has received two applications from the Alaskan Water Export Company proposing to extract water from the Gualala River (Permit # 31194) and the Albion River (Permit # 31195) and barge it to San Diego. (This is not a joke.) The staff engineer at the Board (Division of Water Rights) for the Albion permit is Katherine Gaffney at 916-341-5360. The application is now undergoing review and will soon be noticed to the public for "comment" or, as they call it at the Water Board, "protest"- a word that has a certain resonance in Albion. If you want to receive a notice you can call Gaffney and she will put you on her list. For further information, call Albion River Watershed Protection Assn., Linda Perkins at 937-0903. Or check out the website for the Alaska company, http://www.worldwatersa.com. Protest the waterbags! The State Water Resources Control Board sent out public notices on September 13, 2002 about Alaska Water Exports' applications for water from the Albion and Gualala Rivers. We have only 60 days to respond. To help people fill out the official protest forms, we are working with many other groups to set up workshops and meetings throughout the area. Please check our calendar (below) for events in your area.
