TAKE ACTION: Ask Larimer County Commissioners To Suspend NISP Permitting During Coronavirus Pandemic Emergency

Hi Amazing Poudre River Lovers! We understand and appreciate that this is a difficult time for all of you. First and foremost, do everything you can to stay healthy and take care of yourself and your loved ones. Second -- we are working hard and need your assistance.  During this emergency pandemic that has paralyzed the government and economy, Larimer County actually triggered the permitting process for the Northern Integrated Supply Project (NISP) and we need you to send an email to the Larimer County Commissioners. You can send them an email by clicking here. The State of Colorado has declared a "State of Emergency" due to the coronavirus pandemic, and we believe it gives the Larimer County Commissioners broad discretion to suspend the permitting process for NISP until a normal, public process can take place. Right now, the County has unleashed 911 pages of highly technical documents that the public -- and Save The Poudre -- needs to digest, only given us 42 days to analyze these documents, and set a public hearing date of May 6th. All of this at the exact time when people are supposed to "social distance" and limit public gatherings. NISP has been in federal permitting processes for SEVENTEEN YEARS. Thousands of comments have been generated, and tens-of-thousands of documents are in the public record responding to NISP. It's simply ridiculous to rush through this Larimer County permit process when the public is completely engaged in other matters protecting their health and families, and worrying for their financial future. Please send the Commissioners a respectful email by clicking here asking them to suspend the NISP permitting process. We have a team of scientists working hard to make sure the Poudre River keeps flowing while almost everything else has been shut off by this pandemic. It is your past support that keeps us working hard. Thank you, and stay healthy, Gary Wockner Director, Save The Poudre

Did you see the Poudre River on TV Yesterday?

Hi Poudre River Lovers! Did you see the Poudre River on TV Yesterday? Channel 7 in Denver did a profile of Save The Poudre's work to protect the Poudre River in northern Colorado. We told them the story point-blank: The Northern Integrated Supply Project would further drain and destroy the Poudre River, and it must be stopped! Yesterday, we also sent you a fundraising email letting you know that it's "Go Time" for our efforts to fight this massive river-draining dam project in court. It's been 15 years, but 2018 will be the year where we need to raise as much money as possible to plan and carry out our legal work. You've stayed with us for 15 years, and now it's time to run through the tape to the finish line. Can you please donate to Save The Poudre today? Click here to donate online. We are working hard! And we will work even harder with your support! Thank you! Gary Wockner Director, Save The Poudre
