Proposed Eel River Dos Rios project discussed at Kiwanis meeting
Burt Banzhaf, charter member of the Eel River Association, spoke on the Dos Rios dam proposal by the Corps of Engineers. The plan would create an 8 million acre foot reservoir, 75,000 acres flooded, with a 21 mile gravity tunnel to the Sacramento Valley. He warned of heavy county losses, including tax revenue, land, and livestock, and noted opposition from Mendocino residents and about 2500 Native people. He favored the high level English Ridge dam alternative for better recreation and less land loss. The meetings were slated at the Palace Hotel and Maple Cafe in late May.
