RIVERS
Letter
From Modesto Bee - Monday, April 15, 2013
Coalition response...H.R. 934 does not remove the Merced River from the Wild and Scenic
Rivers Act. It also does not increase the height of New Exchequer Dam, only the
spillway by 10 feet. The length of the Merced River is 122 miles from Yosemite
to the dam. Rep. McClintock's legislation would only cover the last 1,800 feet
for two to eight weeks every few years. That's 1/350 of the protected stretch
of the river.
Individuals should realize that
construction of New Exchequer Dam was completed in 1967. Twenty years later in
1987 the Wild and Scenic River Act encroached on the hydroelectric project
boundary on the Merced River. HR 934 creates an increased reliability of
available water for farmers to grow food for consumers.
