Friends of the Jenner Creek will be hosting
a Community Workshop on the Fort Ross proposal on:

An Alabama corporation wants to construct a major industrial facility involving Fort Ross State Historical Park and the surrounding countryside to pump saltwater from the ocean to the top of Seaview Ridge, store it in a massive reservoir there, and then generate power as the water returns downhill to the ocean. Called a “pumped-storage” installation, this project is currently subject to public comments by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), to be received by August 28, 2023. Comments can be submitted by email or by U.S. Mail.
