Comment period extended again for Nicasio Reservoir expansion
Briefly

The Marin Municipal Water District has extended the comment period for the Nicasio Reservoir capacity increase proposal until the end of the year. This extension allows additional public input for the environmental analysis of the project. The proposal intends to modify spillway gates at Seeger Dam to increase the reservoir's capacity by approximately 3,700 acre-feet. A presentation on the district's water supply roadmap and cost analysis will clarify the project's feasibility and other related proposals. Overall, refinement of project details will continue as part of the environmental review process.
Extending the deadline for comments simply helps to ensure all interested parties have the opportunity to provide input as this important environmental review process is initiated.
While there have been no changes to the general parameters of the proposed project, it's important to note that there is much work ahead to refine the project details.
The project calls for modifying the spillway gates at Seeger Dam, constructed in 1960, to increase the reservoir's capacity by about 3,700 acre-feet.
The district continues to evaluate which options are the most feasible and cost-effective, recognizing that priorities may shift as more information becomes available.
