TCVFD Flag Day BBQ
The Trinity Center VFD would like to thank everyone who attended the BBQ at the IOOF Hall on June 13. The weather threatened the BBQ, but it turned out to be a nice day for a BBQ. It rained before the event, and during the event it was raining in Coffee Creek and Weaverville. Nevertheless, we had a fine turnout of residents and visitors who partook of some terrific cooking and some great souvenirs.

A big Thank You to Linda Baird as chief organizer, and the many volunteers who helped put on the annual findraiser for the TC VFD. Without all of you volunteering, this great event would not be possible.

ALL Burn Permits Suspended
As of June 1, ALL burn permits are suspended. CalFire has declared that fire season has started and no burning is permitted. Even if you call the AQMD and hear that it is a "burn day", you may not burn. Please save it until it rains in the Fall.

Trinity Lake Release Flow and Management
According to the Trinity Journal, this year will be treated as a "dry" year, not a "critical dry" year. This means that flows will increase again dramatically on Monday, April 27 to a maximum of 4,500 cfs. The lake will be dumped at that rate from May 1 for five days. Given the lack of snowpack, this will make a significant impact on the lake level.

See the very interesting article published in the Eureka Times-Standard on April 12.

At the January 20, 2009 community meeting with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the Trinity River Restoration Project, a lot of information was presented. When (if) we get the presentation material, we will post it. In the meantime, check the Trinity Lake Water page for links to information discussed. Editorial comments about what was presented are on the Community Roundtable.
