The Eel River is now one of the 10 most endangered rivers in the United States, according to an annual report released Tuesday byThe 50-year-old conservation group each year spotlights American waterways that are suffering but where key impending decisions could improve their fate.
At nearly 200 miles long, the Eel originates on Bald Mountain in the Mendocino National Forest and empties into the Pacific west of Fortuna in Humboldt County, with multiple forks leading off into remote wilderness. It is the third largest watershed in California, running through four counties. The project also has relied on diversion of water from the Eel River through power-generating turbines into the East Fork Russian River and Lake Mendocino, though the volume of water redirected from the Eel has declined over time.
Both dams — the Scott Dam, which forms Lake Pillsbury, and Cape Horn Dam, which impounds Van Arsdale Reservoir — are part of a project that has not been operational for more than a year and a half because of an equipment failure. PG&E’s license also has expired, and the company is working on plans to surrender its license and close down the powerhouse.
