Re: New Loveland Updates

Loveland Update , I have been told that a Loveland water transfer has started. I am not 100 percent sure but that makes sense.
I was about to give an update on advocacy for the minimum pool and other things and will do so via this Youtube video that contains my trip to fight for Loveland this week by speaking before State Waterboards in Sacramento.
The Loveland Presentation starts at 19 minutes and 45 seconds.
Yes, I realize it's a 7 hour video. but Loveland is early.
I have a lot of other irons in the fire for the fishing program lets see where they go.
It's possible it will be a small release or a normal release like we used to see. Highly unlikely that Loveland will be dewatered.

Here is the presentation by itself
and a Handout I gave to the State Waterboards Chair and members.

Sweetwater Authority is one Loveland Transfer away from destroying the fishing program and other socially and ecologically productive elements of Loveland Reservoir. Based on all previous transfer dates, this could happen in less than a year. The transfer was bad for protected species areas downstream of the reservoir.

Sweewtater drained Loveland to Deadpool on November 15th, 2022. The General Manager and Directors have said they will put the newly rebuilt fishing float in a safe place when they drain the lake again. We were Lucky it rained near record levels, or the lake could have stayed dry and dead for years. Still, the fishery and wildlife are recovering and will be hammered again. The lake could have easily been empty for a few years, and Sweetwater's policy was to drain what came in anyway.

Who believes it is essential for Sweetwater to declare their intentions for Loveland now so that we do not discover it is being destroyed without notice, possibly within a year?
