I am for restoring the Tuolumne River and its glaciated valley to its pristine natural state.

Non-motorized boating (i.e. kayaks, canoes, standup paddle boards – SUPs) Hetch Hetchy would be amazing! Just like at Tenaya Lake.

If you went just a little ways upstream of Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and saw the unburied human excrement in Pate Valley, where backpacking is allowed, you’d have to ask why SF doesn’t build composting latrines there or restrict upstream access completely. If protecting water purity is the reason for restricting non-motorize recreation at Hetch Hetchy, I suggest looking upstream. At least there are bathrooms at Hetch Hetchy!

Well Walter or Silas Doogood, or whatever handle you are going by it wouldn’t take long for non-mortorized to become motorized. Conway is not inclined to protect anything that doesn’t have Trump’s stamp of approval. Natural Resources Committee is in a world of trouble with people like her onboard seeking to make money money money off of our precious protected lands. And again how does this bill help our valley deal with drought issues?

I thought the bill text said non-motorized, so like Hume, or black rock kayaks, canoes, or raft type crafts.

Reminder: Congresswoman Conway is on the Natural resources committee, and has been working to get an environmental hearing on our drought crisis, and has attempted to reinstate Trump era policies made specifically for our area. She also welcomes secretary haaland to our area to try and draw national attention to our crisis.

Hetch Hetchy is one of the nicest, most serine areas of Yosemite. You can argue that the dam should not have been built, but allowing boating, etc. will ruin the place and turn it into another Pine Flat or Millerton. It reminds me of Republican notions of letting Disney run the National Parks during the Reagan era. What on Earth is wrong with these people?
