Protest Period Extended!

The State Water Resources Control Board originally sent out public notices on September 13, 2002 about Alaska Water Exports' applications for water from the Albion and Gualala Rivers. However, the applicant failed to publish legal notices in local newspapers as required. Due to that failure, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) will re-issue notices (probably in "a few weeks"), and allow another 60 day comment / protest period from the date those revised notices are issued.

The SWRCB website provides copies of the original notices, along with a clarification (dated 10/3/02) of several errors contained in those original notices, as well as maps submitted by Alaska Water Exports, and the official protest form.

Please Note that Protests submitted in response to the original notices will be kept on file and considered by the Board along with new protests submitted before this new deadline. You can also ammend your submitted protest form, just be sure that copies go to the SWRCB and Alaska Water Exports, Inc.

If you are concerned about water rights, water quality, water privatization or future degradation of our rivers and streams, please fill out a protest form.

For information on how to fill out a protest form, visit www.gualalariver.org or www.albionnation.org, or contact the Town Hall Coalition office at (707) 874-9110.
