DescFriends of the River's program work seeks to protect and restore California rivers through public engagement, education, government relations, and litigation when necessary. In 2021, the organizational program work focused on the following areas: PROTECTING RIVERS FROM COSTLY AND ENVIRONMENTALLY DESTRUCTIVE DAMS, RESERVOIRS AND DIVERSIONS. Friends of the River continued to lead allied conservation groups responding to proposed surface water reservoir projects. A critical part of that work includes managing the Storage Response Group (SRG), which is a multi-stakeholder coalition that works on reservoir projects. Some of the notable projects include the proposed Del Puerto Canyon Dam, the Shasta Dam Raise, proposed Temperance Flat Dam, and proposed Sites Dam. Friends of the River organized allied organizations, engaged in providing comment and feedback to the accountable regulatory agencies, and generated earned media to educate the public. PROMOTING HYDROPOWER POLICY, SYSTEM, AND OPERATIONAL REFORM. Dams with hydropower operations can have a tremendous negative environmental impact on rivers. These hydropower operations are relicensed once a generation, every 30 to 50 years. Friends of the River worked on a number of relevant hydropower and pumped hydropower project relicensing proceedings, legislative and legal issues to protect, enhance, and restore California's rivers, watersheds, and communities affected by hydropower operations. Most of the work was dedicated to the tracking and contributing to the response to the expanding Clean Water Act Section 401 waiver issue throughout California, including filing litigation challenging the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's waiver of Section 401 on hydropower projects in the Yuba and Merced River watersheds. Friends of the River also provided leadership on priority projects such as Oroville and Pacific Gas and Electric's American River projects. PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE WATER SOLUTIONS FOR CLIMATE CHANGE. Healthy rivers are critical for climate resilience. Climate change is bringing increased drought and flood to California. Healthy rivers, with nature-based multi-benefit flood plains can provide benefits for both drought and flood, by storing flood waters and recharging groundwater. Natural river flows support the movement of plants and animals up and down the watershed, providing relief from drought, flood, disease, and invasive species, as well as promoting a riparian environment to provide refuge from extreme heat and combat wildfire risk. BUILDING PUBLIC SUPPORT FOR RIVERS. Friends of the River connects people to rivers through our rafting and canoe programs. These programs were significantly reduced in 2021 due to the COVID-19 risk. Friends of the River responded with a robust and interactive communications program consisting of emails, social media, webinars, podcasts, and live videos.Desc
