The Pit River Tribe and environmental groups are urging Joe Biden to designate three national monuments in California Sáttítla in the north, and Kw’tsán and Chuckwalla in the south.

The area sits atop volcanically formed aquifers that store as much water as California ’s 200 largest surface reservoirs combined.

The Pit River Tribe and environmental groups won an important victory in what had been a 22-year battle against industrial geothermal development on Sáttítla .

The tribe and local environmentalists have warned that the hydraulic fracturing technology used in the geothermal energy process could contaminate the massive volcanically formed aquifer in the region.
