ACTION ALERT
Stop the Temperance Flat Dam
Help Save the San Joaquin River Gorge
| The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) is seeking public comments in response to a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the proposed Temperance Flat dam on the San Joaquin River Gorge. At risk is an outstanding river recommended for protection in the National Wild & Scenic Rivers System. Astoundingly, the proposed dam will produce little additional water and provide no relief from California’s chronic drought. But taxpayers will be asked to pay much of the bill for a destructive multi-billion dollar dam that will only benefit large agribusiness corporations in the southern Central Valley.
> Please plan on attending and speaking out at upcoming public hearings in Sacramento and Fresno and send your email TODAY urging the Bureau of Reclamation to scrap its dubious plan to build this deadbeat dam! Download a fact sheet about the Temperance Flat Dam by visiting http://www.friendsoftheriver.org/site/DocServer/TFD_Fact_Sheet_Sep_2014.pdf?docID=9022.
