"The vineyards in Cachagua have gained recognition as world class vineyards. Any additional lengthening of the growing season we already have can have enormous negative impact on the vineyards."

"The proposed dam would affect the local micro climate because building a wall that size would impede normal air flow and trap cold air in the valley for longer periods of time, thereby extending the growing season which would increase exposure of grapes to cold temperatures and rain, both of which reduce yields and/or impair quality of the grapes."
