UPDATE:
Marin Water withdraws plans for Nicasio
Reservoir Spillway
At its August 19 meeting, the Marin Water Board approved staff's recommendation that the Nicasio Spillway Modification project be withdrawn from further consideration and that the related CEQA process be terminated.
Our community's next initiative is to work with Marin Water and other agencies to address the long overdue maintenance of the creeks, including removal of debris and sediment that contribute to current flooding of our school and properties adjacent to Halleck and Nicasio Creeks.
