Water rights for Auburn dam could be revoked

The Republican lawmaker, who is serving his last year in Congress, says California should continue to support construction of the Auburn dam to help boost the state’s water supply. The project is in his Northern California district but has been stalled for more than three decades. The California Water Resources Control Board has scheduled a Dec. 2 vote on whether to revoke water storage rights for the project. If the board approves the action, the federal Bureau of Reclamation could file a new application if Congress reauthorizes money for the project. Opponents of the dam, planned near the Sierra foothill town of Auburn, say the order would allow the state to pursue permits at other potential reservoir sites. ——— Information from: Auburn Journal,.
