Huffman will fight against the federal takeover of the Potter Valley Project and the export of Eel and Russian River water to Southern California or the Central Valley.

I’m going to fight against it – to protect our Eel and Russian River water supplies from being federalized and taken over as part of this scheme.

He commits to opposing the federal takeover effort and protecting local water supplies from export.

I'm demanding answers from Secretary Rollins, Secretary Burghum, the Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District, and anyone else involved in this southern California water-export scheme.

Huffman announced he had opened an investigation and sent letters to USDA and DOI demanding records on efforts to facilitate a Southern California water district's takeover of the Potter Valley Project, including Scott Dam and Cape Horn Dam.

Concrete opposition action in the lookback window: Huffman formally challenged federal involvement and sought records about the proposed takeover of the Eel River diversion infrastructure.

The State Water Board released a scoping report for the Potter Valley Hydroelectric Project Surrender and Decommissioning Project, showing the project remains in active surrender/decommissioning review rather than resolved takeover.

Official state process update confirms the project is still moving through decommissioning review, so the underlying controversy remains unresolved as of the lookback date.

The same release says Huffman warned the proposal would raise serious environmental, legal, economic, and water-supply concerns and that federal agencies were working to facilitate a takeover of the Potter Valley Project by a district with no connection to the Eel River basin.

Reinforces that Huffman is actively opposing the federal takeover effort and framing it as a threat to North Coast water users and the Eel/Russian River basin.
