At the Amador Water Agency meeting Thursday, General Manager Jim Abercrombie told Board members that the agency has received a letter from the attorney for the Foothill Conservancy, threatening to sue the agency if it moves forward with expanding the size of the pipe in the Plymouth Pipeline. As is customary with matters of litigation, the board will discuss this in closed session and no other details were provided. Chris Wright, director of the Foothill Conservancy says that changing the size of the pipe expands the capacity of the system from 1065 equivalent development units to 2730 units – more than doubling the amount of growth possible in Plymouth, at least as far as water is concerned. Wright says the addendum to the pipeline EIR that the Water Agency approved does not address the impact of that additional growth in Plymouth. Wright told TSPN that the Conservancy is not opposed to the pipeline itself – Plymouth needs the water, he said, but – he says the letter is to let the Agency know that they are serious about opposing the Plymouth pipeline unless there is additional environmental review.
