	plugged in: the history of power in los angeles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The story of power in Los Angeles has long been a story of lacks: as with water in Southern California, there often has not seemed to be enough of it.
		The story of power in LA is also a story of struggle: between wealthy investors and the city and county over control and profits, and later between state agencies, the legislature and irritated consumers.
		The plant generated power from water for the purpose of constructing an aqueduct.

		The Department's pension plan was based on mortality tables and its own experience showing that female employees had greater longevity than male employees and that the cost of a pension for the average female retiree was greater than for the average male retiree because more monthly payments had to be made to the female.
		In essence, the Department is arguing that the prima facie showing of discrimination based on evidence of different contributions for the respective sexes is rebutted by its demonstration that there is a like difference in the cost of providing benefits for the respective classes.
		In its brief the Department states that the plan provides for several kinds of pension benefits at the employee's option, and that the most common is a formula pension equal to 2% of the average monthly salary paid during the last year of employment times the number of years of employment.

		The aqueduct was sold to the citizens of Los Angeles as vital to the growth of the city.
		Los Angeles did not stop pumping groundwater, but submitted a short EIR in 1976 and a second one in 1979, both of which were rejected as inadequate by the courts.
		In spite of the terms of the Long Term Water Agreement, studies by the Inyo County Water Department have shown that impacts to the valley's groundwater-dependent vegetation (e.g., alkali meadows) continue.

		During 2004-05, water exported from the Owens Valley made up 35 percent of the water supply for the City of Los Angeles, while this year's water exports will provide 59 percent of the city's water, the Operations Plan states.
		With that much water available, the county Water Department pressed LADWP to consider cutting back its groundwater pumping to the "minimal pumping" required to supply water to town water systems, enhancement and mitigation projects, recreation and wildlife, and irrigation and stock water in the Owens Valley.
		Having vegetation and water tables recover to the baseline levels is a key consideration for the county's contention that the negative impacts caused by previous droughts, impacts supposed to be mitigated by the Drought Recovery Policy, are still plaguing the valley and its aquifers.

		In addition to water quality and water quantity benefits from these projects, plant and animal biodiversity has increased, fish and wildlife have increased with more and improved habitat, there are more acres of wetlands in the watershed then in decades past.
