Proposition F, which was rejected by San Francisco voters on Tuesday, would have allocated $8 million to evaluate the feasibility of dismantling the\u00a0O’Shaughnessy Dam in Yosemite National Park and restoring the Hetch Hetchy Valley to its natural pristine state.<\/p><\/div>\n

By Maggie Ortins<\/a> and Brian Rinker<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

November 8, 2012<\/p>\n

Voters roundly rejected Proposition F, Tuesday, an initiative on the San Francisco ballot that would have allocated $8 million to study the impacts of dismantling the O’Shaughnessy Dam and draining the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir, a valuable source of hydro-electric power and water for San Francisco and the Bay Area.<\/p>\n

77.4 percent of voters rejected the measure that aimed to restore Hetch Hetchy to its natural pristine state and protect the valley with National Park status.<\/p>\n

Proposition F\u00a0generated much heated debate in the months leading up to Election Day with many, including the measure’s main sponsor, predicting it would fail.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt probably won\u2019t pass,\u201d said Mark Marshall, executive director of Restore Hetch Hetchy. \u201cThe reason people are voting against it is because they do not understand it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marshall said the measure’s opponents, which included the entire City bureaucracy, outspent his campaign 4-1.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first time San Franciscans are asked to think about water and the effects it has on Yosemite,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The California Department of Water estimated the cost to restore Hetch Hetchy Valley to be between $3 and $10 billion. The annual costs for the average ratepayer would increase by $709 to $2,777, totaling an increase of $21,300 to $83,000 over a 30-year period, according to a letter from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission to the Department of Elections<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Public Utilities Commission declined to comment for this article.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery leader of Congress and almost every group I can think of are opposed to it,\u201d said Laura Tam, Sustainable Development Policy Director for San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cDraining the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir\u2014a source of water for 2.6 million Californians\u2014and restoring the valley would cost as much as $10 billion. On top of that staggering price tag, replacing the water supply is unrealistic when California already lacks infrastructure to provide enough water for its economy or environment. We should move past this debate and focus on real solutions to California\u2019s water challenges,\u201d wrote Senator Dianne Feinstein in an emailed statement.<\/p>\n

The Tuolumne River was dammed 100 years ago in Hetch Hetchy Valley to create a reservoir of drinking water for residents of San Francisco and the Peninsula. Yosemite National Park<\/a> was popularized largely by John Muir<\/a> though his writings and photographs. Muir compared the features of Hetch Hetchy Valley as almost identical to the Yosemite Valley.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen Muir\u2019s picture of the valley before it was a lake,\u201d said Amanda Winner, 23. \u201cIt was beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Winner, who voted for the measure, fell in love the area after a summer backpacking trip at Hetch Hetchy Reservoir. She admits that costs to restore Hetch Hetchy may be too great, but said if there is any chance the valley could be restored anywhere close to the beauty it once was, she had to vote in favor it.<\/p>\n

Wayne Miller, 53, saw Propostion F as a distraction, preferring to focus on issues more relevant to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI say leave it alone. I am voting for propositions that directly affect my neighborhood and kids,\u201d Miller said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
