These guys really have some nerve! We MUST STOP this canal by any name!!!!

May 7, 2009 -- Residents in the area of Clarksburg are reporting that Department of Water Resources engineers and surveyors are drilling core samples and doing other on-site work in planning possible routes for the peripheral canal. While about 50% of the farmers refused access to the state for exploratory purposes, those granting access report that a number of processes are taking place which, if the canal is approved, would pave the way for its construction.
At a time when the state's budget is deep in the red and the governor is cutting state programs drastically it seems reckless that the DWR is conducting these surveys without any assurances what ever that the project will take place. The expenditure of these funds is taking place at the same time that the governor is threatening to drastically cut funding for CalFire even as wildfires rage in Santa Barbara.
