King Fire Restoration Project
The King Fire burnt the watershed in areas with unprecedented severity causing potential long term impacts on water supply, water quality, the environment, recreation, and, in fact, all the beneficial uses in the watershed for many generations. The water purveyors, Placer County Water Agency (PCWA) and Georgetown Divide Public Utilities District (GDPUD) have been significantly impacted and PCWA alone has spent over $1,000,000 dollars protecting its water and power infrastructure from the effects of the King Fire, not to mention the significant negative impacts to private land owners, such as Sierra Pacific Industries.
This is part of a MCWRA letter sent to El Dorado National Forest Supervisor Laurence Crabtree addressing the alternatives in the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the King Fire Restoration Project.
