His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

In a two-page memo prepared for Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office, Steven Weissman — a former administrative law judge at the California Public Utilities Commission — said that without “fundamental changes to law or industry structure,” and assuming that wildfires continue at recent levels, the average electricity customer statewide would experience a 50 percent rate hike in the first year alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"small\" align=”right” citation=\"Steven Weissman, UC Berkeley\"]‘As the utility borrows more and more money, it puts itself in a position where it’s going to be perceived as being too risky to invest in. And so it’s not a sustainable process.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not the only potential consequence, he wrote. If electricity rates skyrocket, he said, California’s ambitious goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions would be threatened, as would the adoption of electric vehicles; businesses would suffer; and electric service would become less reliable even as rates climbed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview, Weissman said while \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11734407/who-should-pay-for-wildfire-liability-so-utilities-dont-go-bankrupt\">much of the focus\u003c/a> in Sacramento this year is around stabilizing the three major investor-owned utilities — PG&E, San Diego Gas and Electric and Southern California Edison — the state also needs to plan for the longer term by tackling the underlying problem of preventing and mitigating fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/pge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">filed for bankruptcy protection\u003c/a> in January, and the other two utilities saw their bond ratings downgraded in recent months, leading to fears that they could be just one fire away from bankruptcy as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t know for certain that there will be fires as catastrophic as the 2018 fires and 2017 fires every year, but we certainly are seeing a pattern developing that ought to be raising a tremendous amount of concern,” Weissman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And to me, the answer really lies in more aggressively and comprehensively working to reduce the intensity of the wildfires that are inevitable — and that’s going to, I think, require a top-down managed approach by the state in coordination with local governments.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5816568-Weissman-Wildfires-Memo.html\" responsive=true]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, state lawmakers approved a bill that will let utilities issue bonds to pay for the cost of the 2017 fires — and pass those costs along to ratepayers. But Weissman wrote that mechanism is not sustainable if fires continue, since debt is paid off over time and since utilities historically rely on debt to invest in infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As the utility borrows more and more money, it puts itself in a position where it’s going to be perceived as being too risky to invest in. And so it’s not a sustainable process,” he said. “So that means if the utility is going to be recovering costs at all, it’s going to have to do it directly, year in and year out, rather than hoping to spread out the cost over 10 or 20 years per fire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11734407,news_11738956,news_11736188,news_11732765 label='Utilities and Wildfires']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There would be other unintended consequences of a drastic increase in utility rates, Weissman added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Californians are used to extremely reliable electricity — but if rates rose because of ongoing, massive fire costs, utilities would be under pressure to cut other costs, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I think it’s quite likely that over time, that will lead to reductions in some of the other things that help keep service reliable for people,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The number of service technicians available, the ability to respond as quickly and as wonderfully as utilities currently do when there is a major catastrophe or a major outage.

The air district said it received about a dozen complaints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's also no evidence that Valero monitored the air in those residential areas during the time period when the releases were most extreme.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The refinery problems sent soot into the air and followed two weeks of more minor releases that regulators thought were tapering off. The plume that morning eventually led Valero to shut down a large part of its facility, a move that has contributed to the increase in the cost of gas statewide in recent weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several public agencies and companies conducted air monitoring work to measure for a variety of chemicals that may have spewed from the refinery's stacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some local officials say those tests may prove that, for the most part, elevated levels of particulate matter and toxic gases did not waft into nearby residential neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, it looks so far like the pollution was not as bad as the extreme release of toxic sulfur dioxide that accompanied \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11681218/cpuc-probe-says-pge-mistakes-led-to-benicia-refinery-outage\">Valero's May 2017 power outage\u003c/a>, one of the Bay Area's worst refinery accidents in years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/TedrickG/status/1109828119693684736\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Benicia's mayor, along with a leading air quality expert and two local environmentalists, say these most recent releases confirm that the small North Bay city needs a more robust and coordinated strategy to measure what gushes out of its largest employer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It seems that right now, if there's an incident, what happens is folks kind of drive around and see if they can catch the plume,\" said Anthony Wexler, director of the Air Quality Research Center at UC Davis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Valero's data:\"Questionable until further notice\"\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11735237/valeros-benicia-refinery-now-target-of-several-probes-into-pollution-releases\">Three government agencies are investigating\u003c/a> the most recent malfunction at the Valero refinery.

Two days later, Valero hired an Arkansas-based consulting firm, the Center for Toxicology and Environmental Health (CTEH), to take air samples around the refinery to test for carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide and particulate matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During eight consecutive days of testing, the firm detected more than a thousand small readings for particulate matter less than 10 microns wide and 2.5 microns wide, known as PM 10 and PM 2.5, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That work ended when regulators and Valero believed the releases were coming to an end. On March 23, petroleum coke began again belching from the refinery's stacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the CTEH did not restart air sampling until the following afternoon, well after the health advisory had ended and officials told the public the air was OK.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hollin Kretzmann, an attorney with the Oakland-based Center for Biological Diversity, said it's concerning that the CTEH data does not include the time period during the height of the releases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is a huge gap of data that we are missing,\" Kretzmann said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A CTEH spokesman referred questions to Valero, which declined to answer questions about the firm’s work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valero runs fence line monitors around the refinery, but the \u003ca href=\"https://beniciarefineryairmonitors.org/measurements.html\">site\u003c/a> that publishes its data includes a warning that all of its measurements should be considered \"questionable until further notice\" because several of its parts require adjustments before they can produce reliable and accurate data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Air district monitoring efforts\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright noborder\">\u003cstrong>Benicia Air Quality Records\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5816584-Valero-Coke-Sample.html\" width=\"100%\" height=\"350\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5816582-2019-Scrubber-Monitoring-Log.html\" width=\"100%\" height=\"350\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>On March 24 and 25, BAAQMD inspectors drove the agency's mobile monitoring van near the refinery to measure for hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide, as well as benzene, toluene and butadiene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency compared those concentrations for acute, chronic and work-time exposure to state health standards, according to Eric Stevenson, the district's director of meteorology and measurements\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we saw in these results was nothing above those levels,\" Stevenson said. \"That being said, we did them on Sunday after a lot of the worst visual impacts were detected.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stevenson said the district did not collect air monitoring data when the health advisory was in effect in order to protect the health of its staff and because county officials did not request it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When the health department declares a shelter in place, we do our best to provide any information that they request. They didn't request any information from us prior to that shelter in place,\" Stevenson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solano County spokesman Matthew Davis confirmed that the county did not request tests from the air district before it issued the health advisory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘\"All of the air readings up to that point, during and afterwards, were 'good' to 'moderate' and at no time did the county or CTEH results show 'unhealthy' levels for sensitive individuals or the general public,\" Davis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elevated particulate levels\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, an air monitoring log from the Benicia Fire Department shows six occurrences when particulate readings were elevated in the early morning hours before the advisory. Fire crews did not take any samples during the hours-long health advisory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The fire department's monitoring shows particulate matter pollution repeatedly spiked to very high levels, far higher than what would be considered safe for daily air quality,\" Kretzmann said. \"It raises big concerns for vulnerable people, like kids with asthma.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire department's log also includes several instances in which crews noted moderate to strong petroleum byproduct odors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is concerning since those could be toxic,\" said Wexler, the UC Davis air quality expert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time Solano County inspectors restarted tests that morning, at 9:45 a.m., the particulate levels had dropped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county also tested areas in the refinery on one day to determine whether high levels of heavy metals were in the petroleum coke dust coming from the stacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those tests revealed that the releases did not include elevated levels of heavy metals, according to Jag Sahota, the county's environmental health manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Calls for change\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can't fix what you don't know,\" Benicia Mayor Elizabeth Patterson said in an interview on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patterson said the city needs a stronger air monitoring program, money to run it and expertise to understand it, similar to the one in Richmond, where Chevron's refinery is located. A \u003ca href=\"http://fenceline.org/richmond/index.htm\">program\u003c/a> there provides air quality readings from monitors in three neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not helpful if you don't know the full extent of the public impact,\" said Patterson. \"If you don't have the personnel and you don't have the funds and you don't have a clear path of information, you don't know what's going on. You can't take measures to protect public health and safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wexler agrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We really need to surround the plant with monitors in the neighborhoods where people are living and breathing,\" he said. \"If the facility can't get control of its situation, it should incur some costs to protect the people who live in the region.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andres Soto, a Benicia resident and organizer for Communities for a Better Environment, said the city has gone too long without an efficient and robust air monitoring program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need to have a very comprehensive monitoring system that is looking at both the greenhouse gases as well as the particulate matter,\" Soto said. \"We needed to do that 10 years ago. It's beyond critical.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kretzmann, from the Center for Biological Diversity, said the refinery and air district do not have a plan in place to capture the most critical data when pollution threatens Benicia residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no telling what information we're missing, and the community still doesn't know the true extent of danger it’s facing,\" he said. \"The city needs a system that can accurately and comprehensively measure air pollution when dangerous events occur.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More monitoring on the horizon\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The air district said it’s planning to add monitoring stations to areas near all five of the Bay Area's refineries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These stations will be sited to help evaluate and track refinery emission impacts in the surrounding communities,\" said air district spokesman Ralph Borrmann, adding that the agency is \"identifying and attempting to secure suitable space for the site in Benicia.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valero also plans to help fund work on community monitoring devices, as part of a 2003 settlement with a local environmental group. That group, called the Good Neighbor Steering Committee, is planning to hire staff to run a community air monitoring device in the city’s northwest corner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That might ease the community's concern but not lead to the best data, said Dr. Bela Matyas, Solano County's health officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“More monitors would clearly give more refined information,\" Matyas said. \"But in places where that's been done, that does not yield more accurate estimates of risk over the long term over that area.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During major incidents, like Valero's recent malfunction, he added, mobile air monitoring is still necessary to capture data that a stationary device would not be able to collect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The focus of at least one of those investigations centers on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11735870/two-parts-of-valeros-benicia-refinery-under-scrutiny-in-probe-of-pollution-releases\">two key components at the refinery\u003c/a> that experienced problems, allowing petroleum coke, an oil processing residue, to escape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The refinery malfunctions began on March 11. Two days later, Valero hired an Arkansas-based consulting firm, the Center for Toxicology and Environmental Health (CTEH), to take air samples around the refinery to test for carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide and particulate matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During eight consecutive days of testing, the firm detected more than a thousand small readings for particulate matter less than 10 microns wide and 2.5 microns wide, known as PM 10 and PM 2.5, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That work ended when regulators and Valero believed the releases were coming to an end. On March 23, petroleum coke began again belching from the refinery's stacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the CTEH did not restart air sampling until the following afternoon, well after the health advisory had ended and officials told the public the air was OK.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hollin Kretzmann, an attorney with the Oakland-based Center for Biological Diversity, said it's concerning that the CTEH data does not include the time period during the height of the releases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is a huge gap of data that we are missing,\" Kretzmann said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A CTEH spokesman referred questions to Valero, which declined to answer questions about the firm’s work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valero runs fence line monitors around the refinery, but the \u003ca href=\"https://beniciarefineryairmonitors.org/measurements.html\">site\u003c/a> that publishes its data includes a warning that all of its measurements should be considered \"questionable until further notice\" because several of its parts require adjustments before they can produce reliable and accurate data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Air district monitoring efforts\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright noborder\">\u003cstrong>Benicia Air Quality Records\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5816584-Valero-Coke-Sample.html\" width=\"100%\" height=\"350\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5816582-2019-Scrubber-Monitoring-Log.html\" width=\"100%\" height=\"350\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>On March 24 and 25, BAAQMD inspectors drove the agency's mobile monitoring van near the refinery to measure for hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide, as well as benzene, toluene and butadiene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agency compared those concentrations for acute, chronic and work-time exposure to state health standards, according to Eric Stevenson, the district's director of meteorology and measurements\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we saw in these results was nothing above those levels,\" Stevenson said. \"That being said, we did them on Sunday after a lot of the worst visual impacts were detected.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stevenson said the district did not collect air monitoring data when the health advisory was in effect in order to protect the health of its staff and because county officials did not request it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When the health department declares a shelter in place, we do our best to provide any information that they request. They didn't request any information from us prior to that shelter in place,\" Stevenson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solano County spokesman Matthew Davis confirmed that the county did not request tests from the air district before it issued the health advisory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘\"All of the air readings up to that point, during and afterwards, were 'good' to 'moderate' and at no time did the county or CTEH results show 'unhealthy' levels for sensitive individuals or the general public,\" Davis said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Elevated particulate levels\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, an air monitoring log from the Benicia Fire Department shows six occurrences when particulate readings were elevated in the early morning hours before the advisory. Fire crews did not take any samples during the hours-long health advisory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The fire department's monitoring shows particulate matter pollution repeatedly spiked to very high levels, far higher than what would be considered safe for daily air quality,\" Kretzmann said. \"It raises big concerns for vulnerable people, like kids with asthma.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire department's log also includes several instances in which crews noted moderate to strong petroleum byproduct odors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is concerning since those could be toxic,\" said Wexler, the UC Davis air quality expert.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time Solano County inspectors restarted tests that morning, at 9:45 a.m., the particulate levels had dropped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county also tested areas in the refinery on one day to determine whether high levels of heavy metals were in the petroleum coke dust coming from the stacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those tests revealed that the releases did not include elevated levels of heavy metals, according to Jag Sahota, the county's environmental health manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Calls for change\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You can't fix what you don't know,\" Benicia Mayor Elizabeth Patterson said in an interview on Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patterson said the city needs a stronger air monitoring program, money to run it and expertise to understand it, similar to the one in Richmond, where Chevron's refinery is located. A \u003ca href=\"http://fenceline.org/richmond/index.htm\">program\u003c/a> there provides air quality readings from monitors in three neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not helpful if you don't know the full extent of the public impact,\" said Patterson. \"If you don't have the personnel and you don't have the funds and you don't have a clear path of information, you don't know what's going on. You can't take measures to protect public health and safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wexler agrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We really need to surround the plant with monitors in the neighborhoods where people are living and breathing,\" he said. \"If the facility can't get control of its situation, it should incur some costs to protect the people who live in the region.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Andres Soto, a Benicia resident and organizer for Communities for a Better Environment, said the city has gone too long without an efficient and robust air monitoring program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need to have a very comprehensive monitoring system that is looking at both the greenhouse gases as well as the particulate matter,\" Soto said. \"We needed to do that 10 years ago. It's beyond critical.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kretzmann, from the Center for Biological Diversity, said the refinery and air district do not have a plan in place to capture the most critical data when pollution threatens Benicia residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no telling what information we're missing, and the community still doesn't know the true extent of danger it’s facing,\" he said. \"The city needs a system that can accurately and comprehensively measure air pollution when dangerous events occur.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More monitoring on the horizon\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The air district said it’s planning to add monitoring stations to areas near all five of the Bay Area's refineries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These stations will be sited to help evaluate and track refinery emission impacts in the surrounding communities,\" said air district spokesman Ralph Borrmann, adding that the agency is \"identifying and attempting to secure suitable space for the site in Benicia.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Valero also plans to help fund work on community monitoring devices, as part of a 2003 settlement with a local environmental group. That group, called the Good Neighbor Steering Committee, is planning to hire staff to run a community air monitoring device in the city’s northwest corner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That might ease the community's concern but not lead to the best data, said Dr. Bela Matyas, Solano County's health officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“More monitors would clearly give more refined information,\" Matyas said. \"But in places where that's been done, that does not yield more accurate estimates of risk over the long term over that area.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During major incidents, like Valero's recent malfunction, he added, mobile air monitoring is still necessary to capture data that a stationary device would not be able to collect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>In late January, PG&E was getting headlines everywhere for its \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/pge\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">decision to seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection\u003c/a> — a move that could affect millions of California households. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on Jan. 25, the company made an announcement that may have an even more dramatic effect on a swath of Northern California stretching from Humboldt County to northern Marin. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was the day that the San Francisco-based utility announced with no warning that it was abandoning its effort to relicense the Potter Valley Project, a hydroelectric complex that not only generates power but provides a lifeline to communities along the Russian River with water diverted from the Eel River.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On its way from one river to the other, water flows through two dams, a diversion tunnel bored through a mountain and a powerhouse. Much of the flow winding up in Lake Mendocino, which supplies communities in the Russian River watershed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janet Pauli, chair of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.mendoiwpc.com/\">Inland Water and Power Commission of Mendocino County\u003c/a>, a joint powers authority concerned with the future of the Potter Valley Project, stressed the value of the water to those communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The water supply that comes through that project is either used directly or indirectly by over half a million people,” Pauli said at a March 29 meeting of the \u003ca href=\"https://humboldtgov.org/2453/Eel-Russian-River-Commission\">Eel Russian River Commission\u003c/a>, made up of supervisors from Humboldt, Mendocino, Lake and Sonoma counties, whose sole focus is the Potter Valley project. “So, economies of Mendocino County, Sonoma County, and northern Marin County, absolutely impacted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Path to Abandonment\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>PG&E's path to its January announcement began two years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In April 2017, PG&E filed paperwork with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission starting the process of relicensing the Potter Valley Project. Then last year, PG&E said it intended to auction off the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E's announcement it would no longer seek a new license to operate the complex set FERC's \"orphan project\" process in motion, with the commission issuing \u003ca href=\"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/03/07/2019-04150/pacific-gas-and-electric-company-notice-soliciting-applications\">a notice\u003c/a> in March soliciting applications for the Potter Valley Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prospective licensees have until July 1 to file applications with FERC. If no new licensee appears and PG&E doesn't change its stance, FERC could decommission the project. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new licensee must be able to pay for the continued maintenance and operation of all project facilities and be capable of monitoring and complying with regulatory requirements arising from the project's impacts. At this point, it's not known whether FERC has received applications to assume the Potter Valley license.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We think that there could possibly be a solution that would bring us a free-flowing Eel River back, and still provide necessary winter water to the Russian River. But we need to get more serious about having some open and honest discussions about what that looks like.'\u003ccite>Stephanie Tidwell, Friends of the Eel River\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The project has been controversial for years, with a host of competing interests seeking to maintain the complex, dramatically alter it or shut it down, with debate centering on how water should be provided for Eel River salmon, Mendocino and Sonoma County agriculture, household water supplies, recreation and, lately, even fire suppression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issues raised by the project prompted Rep. Jared Huffman, who represents the North Coast, to form an \u003ca href=\"http://pottervalleyproject.org/overview/\">ad hoc working group\u003c/a> involving federal and state regulatory agencies, tribes, county governments, water agencies and advocacy groups at the start of the Potter Valley relicensing process two years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group is considering a broad range of scenarios for the project's future — trying to find a way to restore the Eel River while providing water security to Russian River communities. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Conflicting Views on Display\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The conflicting views about the project's future were on full display at the Eel Russian River Commission meeting last week. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Native tribes and fisheries activists have lobbied for the removal of various components of the complex — its diversion tunnel, its two dams, or both — as a step toward restoring chinook salmon and steelhead trout to their historic spawning grounds on the upper Eel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tim Nelson, the Wiyot tribe's natural resources director, told commissioners \"all infrastructure\" related to the project must be removed \"to restore balance to the river.\" Doug Hutt, a member of the Round Valley Indian Tribes, said the tribal government opposes \"any diversion from the natural watershed at any point, in perpetuity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stephanie Tidwell, executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://eelriver.org/\">Friends of the Eel River\u003c/a>, said the debate over the project's future and its impact has entered \"uncharted waters.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s time for us to all hit the reset button, look at what’s possible, and get realistic about the fact that these dams have significant ecological and safety issues,\" Tidwell said. \"We think that there could possibly be a solution that would bring us a free-flowing Eel River back, and still provide necessary winter water to the Russian River. But we need to get more serious about having some open and honest discussions about what that looks like.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'I don't think it's going to be shut down, because there's those of us who it's too vital of a resource to just go cold turkey. If you did this, you would have communities that would be dried out.' \u003ccite>Sonoma County Supervisor James Gore\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>James Gore, a Sonoma County supervisor and vice chair of the river commission, said he doesn’t believe the solution is to decommission the Potter Valley Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don't think it's going to be shut down, because there's those of us who it's too vital of a resource to just go cold turkey,” said Gore. “If you did this, you would have communities that would be dried out. You basically turn an issue that needs to be resolved not just into a crisis, but into a nightmare.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Gore is optimistic that some entity will come forward and be approved to take over the project because it is vital to so many people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to make sure we make it right on both sides of the tunnel,” said Gore. “The reality is — like many of these issues in California, whether it's the Potter Valley Project ... whether it's the Delta, whether it's the aqueducts going down into Southern California — we live in a place where infrastructure was built and communities were built on top of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kyle Farmer, who works at Potter Valley's Magruder Ranch and spoke during public comment, said a solution is out there though time is short. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can live in a state that can pay for its water in a way that takes care of the environment and can do it all,\" Farmer said. \"We're capable of this stuff if we value it — we're capable of anything. But that train is leaving the station.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11737276\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11737276\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/PVP-800x1236.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1236\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/PVP-800x1236.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/PVP-160x247.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/PVP-1020x1576.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/PVP-776x1200.jpg 776w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/PVP.jpg 1325w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tribal lands in the Potter Valley Project vicinity. \u003ccite>(PG&E)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

Then last year, PG&E said it intended to auction off the project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E's announcement it would no longer seek a new license to operate the complex set FERC's \"orphan project\" process in motion, with the commission issuing \u003ca href=\"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/03/07/2019-04150/pacific-gas-and-electric-company-notice-soliciting-applications\">a notice\u003c/a> in March soliciting applications for the Potter Valley Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prospective licensees have until July 1 to file applications with FERC.

Jared Huffman, who represents the North Coast, to form an \u003ca href=\"http://pottervalleyproject.org/overview/\">ad hoc working group\u003c/a> involving federal and state regulatory agencies, tribes, county governments, water agencies and advocacy groups at the start of the Potter Valley relicensing process two years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group is considering a broad range of scenarios for the project's future — trying to find a way to restore the Eel River while providing water security to Russian River communities. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Conflicting Views on Display\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The conflicting views about the project's future were on full display at the Eel Russian River Commission meeting last week. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Native tribes and fisheries activists have lobbied for the removal of various components of the complex — its diversion tunnel, its two dams, or both — as a step toward restoring chinook salmon and steelhead trout to their historic spawning grounds on the upper Eel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tim Nelson, the Wiyot tribe's natural resources director, told commissioners \"all infrastructure\" related to the project must be removed \"to restore balance to the river.\" Doug Hutt, a member of the Round Valley Indian Tribes, said the tribal government opposes \"any diversion from the natural watershed at any point, in perpetuity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stephanie Tidwell, executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://eelriver.org/\">Friends of the Eel River\u003c/a>, said the debate over the project's future and its impact has entered \"uncharted waters.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s time for us to all hit the reset button, look at what’s possible, and get realistic about the fact that these dams have significant ecological and safety issues,\" Tidwell said. \"We think that there could possibly be a solution that would bring us a free-flowing Eel River back, and still provide necessary winter water to the Russian River.

You basically turn an issue that needs to be resolved not just into a crisis, but into a nightmare.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Gore is optimistic that some entity will come forward and be approved to take over the project because it is vital to so many people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to make sure we make it right on both sides of the tunnel,” said Gore. “The reality is — like many of these issues in California, whether it's the Potter Valley Project ... whether it's the Delta, whether it's the aqueducts going down into Southern California — we live in a place where infrastructure was built and communities were built on top of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kyle Farmer, who works at Potter Valley's Magruder Ranch and spoke during public comment, said a solution is out there though time is short. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
