RRWPC PROTEST FILED June 23, 2010
SUBMITTED BY: Brenda Adelman on behalf of RRWPC

INTRODUCTION:
RRWPC has been tracking water quality issues in the lower Russian River (Healdsburg to Jenner) for 30 years. We are neither scientists nor legal experts, but we have studied water quality issues all that time and have accumulated a vast library of reports, studies, presentations, etc. from experts on these issues. We will draw on those documents as background for this Protest.
