Morrell Canyon, a beautiful, biologically diverse, oak-filled canyon in the Santa Ana Mountains of southern California's Cleveland National Forest, is at serious risk of imminent destruction. A private energy company, Nevada Hydro, is proposing to flood the canyon to create a reservoir for generating electricity, by pumping water up from Lake Elsinore below. Associated transmission lines will further degrade and fragment the biologically rich natural habitats of the forest. Please send a comment letter to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on their draft Environmental Impact Statement and attend a public meeting sponsored by FERC on April 4 in San Juan Capistrano or April 5 in Lake Elsinore to voice your opposition to this ill-conceived energy boondoggle.
