Trinity Lake Report
2/3/12 - The forecast is for a drier than normal year. That means we need to hold onto every drop of water
in the lake for the summer season. We lost 10' of elevation to bureaucratic mismanagement between October and December.
Tuesday night's rain added 1/2 inch to our total, still a dozen inches behind. The lake has climbed a foot and a half
to about 2,338'
since the snow started a couple weeks ago. It is warming this week, and the snow is slowly compacting and melting. The huge
berms in the streets atest to the intensity of the snow event.
TLRA Comments on Delta Plan EIR 
The TLRA has filed comments on behalf of the North Lake communities with the Delta Stewardship Council.
These comments are
our response to the 2,300 page Delta Plan EIR Draft document that reflects
the analysis of impacts of exporting more Trinity Lake water to the Delta.
Click here to read the TLRA letter.
The current proposal reintroduces the Peripheral Canal, an additional taking of water, the ability of Westlands Water District
and any other water user to sell their water if they don't use it, and many more egregious assaults on our water.
Because the governor will be asking for tax increases in the next election, it is probable that the multi-billion dollar water
bond measure funding the water grab will be delayed for the obvious political problem created by asking for taxes and billions
in bonds in the same election.
