MAP
There is a NEW policy document under consideration by the State Water Resource Control Board, SWRCB, whose jurisdiction it is to protect the health of fresh water streams for aquatic life including salmon. The public must submit their comments no later than May 1st, 2008 by 12:00pm. This is an urgent call to the public to particpate and let the SWRCB know that we expect them to protect valuable public resources like adequate flows in streams to maintain a healthy aquatic ecosystem. Please check out these documents:

The Sierra Club (Loma Prieta, San Francisco Bay and Redwood Chapters)
have initiated a campaign to encourage municipalities with excessive
permit fees and application processing delays to implement changes
that will facilitate the installation of solar power. The Sierra Club
has formally contacted dozens of city officials about this
and is encouraging them to review solar permit fees.
