"description": "The Del Puerto Water District and the Water Exchange are planning a massive reservoir just above the city of Patterson, home to 25K. The community is realistic, but very concerned. The reservoir would be less than five miles from a fault, and within landslide soil. If the dam were to fail Patterson would be flooded up to ten feet all the way to the San Joaquin River, raising it 14 feet. This would undoubtedly harm our children, schools, and elderly. Many of Patterson's homes would now fall under hazardous inundation zones, needing to indicate that when selling a property. For homeowners to protect their property in case of a dam failure it would cost one thousand dollars annually. The West Side is located in the region of the worst air quality in the nation. This project will add tons of debris and our disadvantaged community will be put at even greater risk. This area is known for the kit fox, an endangered species, home to Yokut Indian artifacts, and where California's first paleontological finds were discovered. It is a cherished respite. Concerned citizens are not anti dam, but are open to the alternate location ten miles north that would not negatively impact the community at the Howard Road Exit.",
