Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Supply, City of San Francisco: Application for Lake Eleanor and Hetch Hetchy Valley Reservoir Sites, Act of February 15, 1901 This is the so-called revocable permit act, under which rights of way for electrical plants, transmission lines, canals, ditches, and reservoirs are permitted through the public lands and forest reserva tions of the United States. The only national parks to which it applies are the Yosemite, Sequoia, and General Grant National Parks, in the State of California. The act was passed on February 15, 1901. On October 15, 1901, the city of San Francisco, through the Hon. James D. Phelan, then mayor, filed an application for reservoir rights of way at Lake Eleanor and Hetch Hetchy. After considera tion of this application, Hon. E. A. Hitchcock, then Secretary of the Interior, on December 22, 1903, refused the permit on the principal ground that he did not have the necessary statutory authority. He discussed the existing and available water supplies of the city of San Francisco, and upon the information then before him, held that there were other adequate sources of supply available; but the con trolling consideration for his refusal of the permit was the construe tion placed by him upon the two acts of Congress above mentioned. The city continued its efforts to Obtain the permit, but on February 5, 1905, Secretary Hitchcock again reached the conclusion that the permit could not be granted without further legislation by Con gress. The application was again renewed by the city before Sec retary Hitchcock's successor, Hon. James R. Garfield, and on Mav 11, 1908, Secretary Garfield granted the permit which is now in force. This permit provided that the city might develop the Lake Eleanor reservoir site and that if this site when developed to its full capacity should not prove adequate for the needs of the city the Hetch Hetchy Valley could then be used as a reservoir. The permit is set out in full in the report of the Advisory Board of Army Engineers made on February 19, 1913, and contains other important provisions, which need not be referred to at this time.

To feel truly at home in the Bay Area, read Doris Sloan's intriguing stories of this region's spectacular, quirky landscapes."—Hal Gilliam, author of Weather of the San Francisco Bay Region "This is a fascinating look at some of the world's most complex and engaging geology. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in an understanding of the beautiful landscape and dynamic geology of the Bay Area."—Mel Erskine, geological consultant "This accessible summary of San Francisco Bay Area geology is particularly timely. We are living in an age where we must deal with our impact on our environment and the impact of the environment on us. Earthquake hazards, and to a lesser extent landslide hazards, are well known, but the public also needs to be aware of other important engineering and environmental impacts and geologic resources. This book will allow Bay Area residents to make more intelligent decisions about the geological issues affecting their lives."—John Wakabayashi, geological consultant
