BERKELEY, Calif., Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Restore Hetch Hetchy (RHH) today petitioned Department of Interior and National Park Service officials regarding public access and recreational opportunities to Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park.[1]

Key Points: 
  • Restore Hetch Hetchy's petition provides legal and historical rationale for changing current policies at Hetch Hetchy, including eliminating daily closure of the area, allowing camping and permitting non-polluting boats on Hetch Hetchy Reservoir.
  • "When Congress passed the Raker Act allowing San Francisco to build a dam in Yosemite National Park, it fully expected that Hetch Hetchy would be used for 'water supply purposes and for park purposes,'" said Spreck Rosekrans, Executive Director for Restore Hetch Hetchy.
  • Public access is so limited that barely 1% of all park visitors visit Hetch Hetchy."
  • These restrictions prevent park visitors from exercising their rights at Hetch Hetchy and must be eliminated," added Michael Lozeau, an attorney with Lozeau Drury LLP and author of supporting documentation for the petition.
