FACT – The water to supply this project will be the MOST EXPENSIVE water produced and delivered by EID. The required water CANNOT be delivered by gravity from the eastern plants. Those transmission lines are already running over capacity in the summertime. The required water will have to be pumped ($$$) up to EDH treatment plant (~ 300 vertical ft.) From there it will have to be pumped ($$$) to Oak Ridge – (~170 vertical ft.). From there it will have to be pumped ($$$) to Bass Lake Tanks –(~540 vertical ft.) (Folsom Lake to BLT approximately 1010 vertical feet). The pumping and transmission infrastructure from Oak Ridge to BLT needs to be built. The transmission infrastructure to Parker/Gallo development needs to be built. Do the math. $50,000,000 from the developers might be a starting point.

Where are you? Greg, are you really, REALLY, actually concerned about EID rates? Or are you the “magician’s left hand”. Are you a developer’s agent? Are you actually a paid agent of Parker et al whose job it is to distract with feigned outrage over past sins in order to distract from future “larceny”? Come on, Greg, show your stuff. Take on Parker. I dare you.

It’s a bummer they own such a cool piece of history. They look like they are wondering how are they going to knock down those rocks… If they really want to create jobs – open the mine back up and grow cattle.

Was not the golf course mitigation for Serrano?

I love this quote from Parker in the article, “If they don’t let us do this, they’ll end up with an even larger development,” he added. Hmmm. Sounds like a threat.

Just with this county needs another batch of styrofoam cookie cutter junk houses. Walk to entertainment walk to work agenda 21 internment camps. Also where is the water going to come from Eid can’t keep supplied people they have now. Anyhow like I said this county does not need any more of those low quality construction like they have a soprano I’ve worked on these homes for garbage

RE: – “El Dorado Irrigation District has yet to formally weigh in . . . EID also has enough water rights to support the proposals.” – Water rights are one thing. Treatment and distribution capabilities are another. It is doubtful/arguable that EID has the treatment capability. But it is a fact that EID lacks transmission capability to support this development. The two gravity transmission lines delivering water from Sly Park and from 184 are presently running at capacity (summertime). Water for this development will have to be lifted from Folsom and processed at the EDH plant and pumped ($$$) to Bass Lake Tank. Some healthy portion of cost for these treatment and distribution infrastructure upgrades needs to be borne by the developer.
