NEVADA COUNTY NUGGET . Wednesday By NEVADA COUNTY NUGGET, INC, 132 Main St., Nevada City, Calif. EDITORIAL Recreation Is A Project Bonus Last week we urged voters in the Nevada . Irrigation District toapprove the refunding of old bonds and the issuance of $65 million in revenue bonds to allow the construction of the district's Yuba-Bear waterpower project. The election will be held Tuesday, and we again remind area voters of the impor. tance of the project. The project will increase water storage at high elevation by construction of reservoirs at Jackson Meadow and Faucherie sites. It will improve the district's water distribution system. It will increase water storage at lower elevations by construction of Rollins Damon the Bear River and by raising the level of the Scott's Flat Dam. It will build two power plants on the Bear River. The entire project will be paid for from power revenues already assured by a contract with Pacific Gas and Electric. But the Nevada Irrigation District area has a bonus benefit built into the YubaBear project. The district has already submitted an application tothe California Department of Water Resources toestablish the project's eligibility to apply for four grants of . $300,000 each for the development of re. creational usage at each of the project's reservoirs---—Jackson Meadow, Faucherie, Rollins and Scott's Flat. ‘at NJ " aS N fa Fa Gt Bet anne "uy eye 7] 4s 4 A : « ‘ Lost at sea? : The Nugget's columnist, Bob Paine has not reported in this week.
