Hardy, PresidentPreservation ofThe Yosemite Park and Curry Co., supports the preservationof the scenic, aesthetic, and wildlife values of the Merced Riverand its South Fork. In this sense, we oppose the hydroelectricprojects currently proposed on the South Fork and at El Portalon the main stern of the Merced River.Our primary opposition to the South Fork project is that it wouldinundate significant lowland habitat that is important winter rangefor much of Yosemite’s deer herd and the lion population it supports.It would also eliminate miles of wild river with unique aquaticand riparian inhabitants. We also oppose the scenic intrusion ofthe reservoir which would be visible from Highway 41, a majoraccess road to Yosemite.We oppose the hydroelectric project at El Portal because itwould significantly reduce the flow of the Merced River and thebeautiful scenery on the approach to Yosemite through the MercedCanyon. To many visitors, the appeal of Yosemite is the spectacularbeauty of the rivers and waterfalls. The reduction of theflow of the Merced at the Park boundary by 650 cubic feet persecond and the construction of the facilities would seriously marthe beauty at the entrance to Yosemite.Our support for the protection of the tvlerced River system isconsistent with our prior support for Mono Lake, the Tuolumne,Merced River 1and wilderness status for most of Yosemite and much nearby NationalForest Land. The basis for the economy of Mariposa Countyand for our company is provided by the beauty and recreationalopportunities of Yosemite and the surrounding lands. Thus, webelieve that the area surrounding Yosemite should be protected ~,to the maximum extent possible within the mandate of multipleuse.While we believe that hydroelectric power is a good, clean 1renewable source of energy, we do not believe the benefits ofthe two proposed projects in terms of either electricity producedor economic benefits to the county, outweigh the negative scenic ~.and environmental effects on Yosemite’s natural beauty.We would, inc’.ead, propose two courses of action. First improve ~.the efficiency of existing dams and hydroelectric facilities withoutimpacting additional area, Secondly, we support conservation programs(such s PG&E’s ZIP Program) to reduce the wasteenergy by improving the efficiency of our homes and businesses.The most important developments in energy will be in reducingthe amount we use and not in damming prime wild and scenicrivers.I’m sure you’ll join me in our company’s position and supportfor the preservation of the Merced River.By Mary MoirAvoiding the Winter W Blu Blues iOur winter schedule often finds us enveloped by a sense ofambivalence. This wave of ambivalence often strikes us after along, busy season of service to our Park visitors, or as the colderdays of January and February approach us.
