San Joaquin River restoration rolls along
Story
from Fresno Bee – Sunday, Sept. 26, 2010
Coalition viewpoint…Anyone reading this story would get the impression that the San Joaquin River restoration is on track and running smoothly. A closer look at the local impacts or discussing increased river flows with area farmers might change your mind.
Farmers adjacent to the now-flowing San Joaquin River have expressed concern that Bureau of Reclamation project managers have all but ignored concerns over excessive groundwater impacts, a broken levee and requests for assistance to resolve problems associated with river restoration flows. A significant amount of historical groundwater data from monitoring wells has been gathered and the Bureau has declined to use it. Without engaging local interests, the Bureau stands to alienate a lot of people who want to see the project succeed but have legitimate concerns about the ongoing process.

Sacramento Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrades Long Overdue
Blog
From Sustainable Delta – Tuesday, Sept. 28, 2010
From the Coalition for a Sustainable Delta: “Anyone living downstream from Sacramento or that relies on water from the Delta must be wondering why they have been forced to deal with the pollution of an outdated sewage plant for the past 30 years. That is how long it has been since the Sacramento Regional County
Coalition viewpoint…This request by the City of Sacramento is unreasonable, especially when considering the millions of dollars that water users have already spent to find solutions to problems besetting the fisheries in the Delta. Other municipalities have stepped forward to rectify their wastewater issues and Sacramento needs to do the same.
