And the amount allocated in the bond that could pay for Sites doesn't cover the cost to build it.
So again, who is paying for it?

$2 billion of the bond is earmarked SPECIFICALLY for Sites (estimated $3.7 billion), and Rep. Garamendi is carrying the congressional bill to cover the balance.
NOTE: Sites is expected to generate $275 million in annual water sales and will have paid for itself in approx. 12 years.

They're way over the carrying capacity of the State. This is just mother nature's way of dealing with the infestation. No need to waste taxpayer money here when it could be used to fund the next war.dbackjon wrote:So you small government types want the FEDS to pay for it, but have no say in environmental issues.travelinman67 wrote:

And it will NOT generate that amount in sales, since most of the water can not be sold. In addition, those are best, best, best case scenarios, using water totals that are not realistic.

How do you know?JohnStOnge wrote:To me this situation is an obvious illustration of why the Endangered Species Act is a problem. The survival of something like the Delta Smelt is not something that should be a factor in the decisions being made with respect to water in that State right now.
Do you know what it'll mean if the Delta Smelt goes extinct? I'll give you the answer: It'll mean that the Delta Smelt goes extinct. It's not a problem for our species. We can go along just fine without the Delta Smelt.

I think unravellinman secretly enjoys having the wood laid to him.

Spokane is temperate forest. 1/2 of Washington is desert/shrub steppe. Most of Seattle's power comes from our side of the mountains.Chizzang wrote:Indeed it is..!!!houndawg wrote:Isn't Washington one of the States that doesn't allow home owners to capture rain runoff?
There are creeks and streams all over that are natures way of doing that

Washington is not s desert (unless you are in Spokane)but that doesn't count
So they want no interference with the natural flow of waterways and natural collection points
