Jeff Martin has lived in the community of Sites in Colusa County for 20 years and is happy to have the stability of a new job at the local butcher shop in nearby Maxwell.
Martin said he’s unhappy about the uncertainty of not having a home in the next few years as he lives in what is slated to be the state’s newest reservoir.
“Me and my animals will have to move and I don’t know where,” Martin said. “And because I rent, they’re not going to, I’m not going to get any money to move. So I don’t know, It’s kind of scary.”
The reservoir has been discussed for over 60 years and officials have just signed off on its final environmental impact report.
