A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
EXPRESSING OPPOSITION TO THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE U. S. FISH
AND WILDLIFE SERVICE TO DEMOLISH THE WOODBRIDGE DAM
WHEREAS, there is currently a recommendation being advanced by the United States
Fish and Wildlife Service that calls for the demolition of the Woodbridge Dam; and
WHEREAS, the Woodbridge Dam is an integral part of the Woodbridge Irrigation District
which supplies water to approximately 4,500 acres planted with premium wine grapes; and
WHEREAS, this proposal, if implemented, would have a catastrophic economic impact on
the agriculture industry in this region; and
WHEREAS, the Woodbridge Dam forms Lodi Lake, a regional park enjoyed by residents
not only of Lodi, but of the surrounding counties; and
WHEREAS, there is no scientific data available to demonstrate that elimination of the
Woodbridge Dam would increase the anadromous fish population;

detrimental in any way to the agricultural economy and the recreational benefits to this area.
