Local Issues

Representatives Tom McClintock and Wally Herger will conduct a forum to discuss the adverse impact of excess wastewater regulation in terms of fines, fees, litigation and resulting financial harm to local communities.

Congressman Tom McClintock announced today that the Georgetown Divide Public Utility District will receive a $5 million loan in Rural Development Funds from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to refurbish its Auburn Lake Trails Water Treatment Plant.

The specific improvements include advanced water treatment technology options (filtration system replacement) and modifications to the existing facility.

Washington, DC – Congressman Tom McClintock today announced the award of $4 million in competitive grants to a pair of recipients in the Fourth Congressional District to research, develop and demonstrate cutting-edge geothermal technologies. The Congressional office worked with the Modoc Contracting Company of Canby to win a $2 million Department of Energy award that will help demonstrate the use of cascading technology in tapping the energy potential of geothermal fluids. The Oski Energy firm of Susanville also received a $2 million award to test innovative power cycle technology.

Congressman Tom McClintock today announced that five communities in the 4th Congressional District succeeded in qualifying for Drug Free Communities (DFC) grants. The DFC supports over 700 community coalitions across the United States and provides funding to identify and respond to local substance abuse problems.

"The applicants in our district won these grants the old fashioned way: they earned them on their merits,” said Congressman McClintock.

Congressman Tom McClintock made the following statement to the Regional U.S. Forest Service Management Roundtable hosted by Congressman Wally Herger in Sacramento on Wednesday, August 25th:

I want to thank my friend and colleague, Congressman Herger, for organizing this meeting and for his invitation to participate in it.

There are four general subjects that my constituents have brought to my attention that I feel are important to raise in this forum.
