California is getting its largest new reservoir in more than 50 years, despite strong opposition from Native American tribes and environmental activists.
The State Water Resources Control Board approved the final water-right permit for the Sites Reservoir project, located in Glenn and Colusa counties in Northern California.

“If this reservoir goes through, you will literally be covering up the footprints and trails that my father walked with his mother, he walked with me, and I walk with my children. And that’ll all be gone,” said Mitchum, according to the Los Angeles Times.<\i>
Then turn off the water going to every freaking Indian casino in California
Vote Democrat and earn really nice prizes, eh?
Everything about the Earth’s surface changes constantly due to Nature.
Fires, floods, earthquakes, tectonic plates moving, landslides, atmospheric rivers, El Nino events, storms, volcanos, and the occasional meteorite.
“Cultural genocide” my a$$. Humans have been successful as a species because we’re smart enough to adapt to changing environments.
Adapt. Or die. That’s always been the choice.
With the utmost due respect, Ms. Mitchum, do shut the hell up. With surprising frequency given how far their insanity has spread, the voters of CA show good sense every once in a while. They approved this project in 2014. Ever since then the usual suspects have used every trick in the book to thwart the will of the people. With respect to the Indians, sacred this and sacred that, blah, blah, blah. Twelve years of obstruction is a pretty impressive accomplishment. But now it’s over. The Sites Reservoir will provide enough water, nominal, for 6
Million people, and it is desperately needed. So, with all respect, now you’ve lost and you can STFU
No money in keeping the resevoirs they already have filled with water? Will this new one just be left empty or too low like the others?
Why does Amanda Mitchum think her footprints should last for eternity? Heck, it has RAINED since “my father walked with his mother, he walked with me, and I walk with my children”....
and now all those footprints are GONE!
I’m for a new reservoir if the state needs it. But California’s current government is more interested in spending money and confiscating property than keep reservoirs filled with water when needed.
Wahhh...Amanda needs to read about all the towns covered by the TVA lakes...and every other reservoir in the USA.
My dad used to hunt when he was a kid in Kensico, NY. It doesn’t exist any more. It was flooded to build the Kensico Reservoir, one of the central storage reservoirs for the New York City Reservoir system.
The really cool thing is Kensico was named after the Siwanoy Indian chief, Coken-se-co, a signatory of the deed for the city of White Plains. So the Whites respected the Indians 150 years ago.
Your feet sure must be super-duper-special feet, lady.
Don’t worry, it won’t be filled.
It’s CaliFUBAR so no surprise ...
We recently sold our house. I found out the new owner was going to remodel it. I wrote him a letter saying pretty much the same thing. “My children played in that house - the crack in the molding at the end of the hall is from the scooter. The scuff mark on the wood by the window is from the dog waiting for me to get home. You remodel and it will all be gone.”
Yeah - he did it anyway.
Funny, the pictures online look really nice and modern and I’m sure it will sell well. My entire family HATES it now - it feels more like a dentist’s office than a home. Funny though all of the stuff they complained about when we had it. My wife always complained about the lack of cabinet space in the kitchen. There is less space now! (And she hates the new cabinets.)
are you serious?
I just asked Grok “how many dams has Kalifornia torn down in the last 20 years?”
Almost 150.
Just wait. In 20 or 30 years, they will tear down this new one too.
Kalifornia has a government-instituted permanent drought. Even if they do not tear down a dam, they release the water into the ocean. One year, the spring water level of the Folsom dam near Sacramento was higher. The Kalifornia Wizards of Smart let out even more water because “it might rain some more, later.”
Then turn off the water going to every freaking Indian casino in California
That's funny, the Cachil Wintun Indians do own a casino; Colusa Casino Resort located in Colusa, California.
I guess she had no problem building the casino which covered up the footsteps and trails...
A LONG WAY FROM MOST MAJOR HIGH POPULATIONS IN CALIF
The envirofreaks blew out 3 dams in northern California. Idiots.
““If this reservoir goes through, you will literally be covering up the footprints and trails that my father walked with his mother”
So it has not rained on that ground in over 50 years?
They had water!
But they took out dams!
Just the opposite of this scheme, it seems.
Well, taking out the dams destroyed irrigation, scenery, recreation, flood protection, etc
And flooding the new area will likely destroy similar.
I'll go one step further and say it wont even be built. It will be the Reservoir to Nowhere and model itself exactly like the bullet train ... another slush fund to loot with nothing to show for it.
Besides, Governor Hair Gel would never approve something so sensible and desperately needed like a reservoir.
