Protect Our Waters speaks on Nestle/McCloud bottling plant issue

Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on November 13, 2008 at 5:55 am

From Mt. Shasta Area Newspapers:

The issue of the proposed Nestle water bottling plant in McCloud has undergone many changes over its five year history, but what has not changed is that it is perhaps the single most contentious issue in the county.

In the following interview, Debra Anderson, president of McCloud Watershed Council, and Curtis Knight, California Trout Mount Shasta Area Program Manager, answer questions about their umbrella organization – the Protect Our Waters Coalition – and what the past years dealing with the Nestle issue in McCloud have been like from their point of view. Anderson and Knight answer some of the questions individually, and some jointly on behalf of Protect Our Waters.

Q: What is Protect Our Waters?
Debra Anderson and Curtis Knight: Protect Our Waters Coalition (www.protectourwaters.org) formed to protect the ecological and hydrological integrity of Mount Shasta’s headwaters areas. Water in California is an important issue, and the Nestle issue was a catalyst that made us realize that we needed to learn more about our watersheds so we could develop policies to protect our waters that are based on sound science.
