		The Washington, D.C.-based American Rivers group listed the Tuolumne as one of the nation's 10 most threatened rivers out of concern that the proposed pipeline could increase the capacity for river water diversion to the San Francisco Bay Area by 70 percent.
		American Rivers said the Santa Clara River, which runs from the San Gabriel Mountains to the Ventura County coast, is threatened by development of condominiums, shopping centers and other urban projects along its banks, including a planned 21,000-home project for the Newhall Ranch in northern Los Angeles County.
		The annual list of rivers is based on nominations from thousands of local environmental groups and local governments about rivers that are "facing the most uncertain futures rather than those suffering from the worst chronic problems," American Rivers said.
