SAVE Del Puerto Canyon We are a grassroots community group founded in Patterson, CA dedicated to educating & advocating for protecting Del Puerto Canyon.

Multiple admins make posts and manage comments. See full description in "Privacy and Legal Info". We are a grassroots community organization dedicated to educating & advocating for the protection of Del Puerto Canyon and other community issues around the Patterson, CA area. This site is managed by multiple admins and comment moderators who may publish and edit posts with announcements about our (Save Del Puerto Canyon) upcoming events and updates on the ongoing conservation efforts as they are made publicly available. Therefore, the views and statements within and between posts (including promoted content) on this site are the product of many different people and not necessarily attributable to a single individual. Group-level statements on various pieces of legislation or other relevant issues may differ from individual members' positions on those same issues. To satisfy verification requirements that our group is based in the United States to generate ads about political and social issues (which includes environmental issues), one or more members of our core group/planning team may go through the additional verification process to become listed as responsible agent(s) to financially support the production of promoted content as a pro-bono volunteer. Like all the other page content, the material and comments in promoted ads running during times specific individuals are listed by name as the financially responsible agent(s) is still collectively reviewed by the team and not to be construed as being solely attributable to the individual(s) designated as the responsible agent(s). Admins and moderators do their best to balance monitoring third-party comments for clearly objectionable material and content directly against the group's mission while also trying to not be too overly restrictive to the concerns of some members of the conservation community with diverse political leanings within its geographic operating area. The views expressed by third-party commenters on both the page and promoted content, and the length of time such comments may remain are not necessarily reflective of the views of Save Del Puerto Canyon or its volunteer group members. Unless they state otherwise, the views and opinions expressed on this page or promoted content by the admins and those named as responsible agents for this page are not affiliated with any other employers or professional organizations, groups, or clubs they may be personally connected to outside of their functions within Save Del Puerto Canyon.

All those who've been opposing the proposed Del Puerto Canyon Reservoir and raising concerns about data centers know that the CEQA process and opportunities for public input are already rushed, not transparent enough, and can leave out important community and tribal stakeholders. Prop 45 would make this worse.

Ballots are arriving in mailboxes soon, and we're asking you to vote NO on Prop. 45. If Prop. 45 passes, the California Environmental Quality Act would be dismantled. The California Environmental Equality Act is our state law that protects land and us from environmental harm.

Vote no on Prop. 45 to protect the Diablo Range's landscapes from bad development and pollution!

Thank you to all those who showed up today to make comments opposing the proposed Del Puerto Canyon Reservoir. While their board voted to certify their EIR, some of them were notably nervous. The EIR/CEQA process is just one of several hurdles they need to pass. More CA legislators are gradually moving to protect the Diablo Range, like the recently passed ACR 107. There are also other legal options for stopping or indefinitely delaying projects, provided that we all keep up our opposition and advocacy!

Here are a few examples of conservationists delaying or halting projects without directly relying on CEQA:
(1) Scroll to the bottom of the article about the proposed James Donkon Blvd. extension example.

(2) How the proposed city of Marincello was stopped, making way for the Marin Headlands.

Bottom line, we're still in this and far from done!

Stay tuned for more pictures and clips recapping parts of today's meeting. In spite of the district's response, important arguments should be made that deserve to be widely heard.

Providing public comments during the 8/19 tomorrow is still the most impactful way to get our message across that we oppose Del Puerto Canyon Reservoir and do not want them to certify their EIR.

But to make it easeir for folks who can't take off work Wed., here's a new petition by Save Mt. Diablo that people can use to send emailed comments to Del Puerto Water District to express their concerns and opposition to the project!

Del Puerto Canyon is at risk of being destroyed by the Del Puerto Water District’s proposed reservoir project. Please send a letter to the Del Puerto Water District saying no to the ridiculous and costly Del Puerto reservoir project before August 19, 2026 at 9 AM! On August 19, the water district ...

UPDATE: Del Puerto WD's recently released agenda for their 8/19 meeting lists a start time of 8:30am. It also lists a phone option for people to call to make public comments up to 2 minutes in length. Number: 1-877-304-9269. Code: 748120.

As we listen to what they have to say, we must remember to tell them that our opposition is here to stay!

Again, from some of the speakers they've lined up, they may try to present arguments framing many of our legitimate concerns as misunderstandings, tout their authority to build the proposed reservoir in Del Puerto Canyon, and make claims about who doesn't have standing to determine what they do.

Continue to state your concerns about and opposition towards this project!

08/14/2026

Our monthly organized cleanup is postponed this month. We still encourage those who do go out into the canyon to safely clean up trash they encounter.

We encourage everyone who opposes the proposed reservoir to prepare to speak out at Del Puerto Water District's public hearing on 8/19!
