Coalition response...The author attempts to portray concerns of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta with BDCP efforts as a science vs. policy issue. Her analysis includes science overruling policy which, coincidentally, coincides with her personal viewpoints. Yet, scientists of the National Research Council recently released the results of their two-year study that says any resolution of Delta concerns must be a mix of science and public policy. This scientific approach is the same that former Judge Oliver Wanger implemented when he ruled that biological opinions restricting the delivery of water to users south of the Delta did not include consideration for impacts on the public. Consequently, he directed federal agencies to rewrite those biological opinions, which we are still waiting to see.
It is inconceivable that individuals are now ignoring the results of the NRC scientists in order to further their own agendas. The NRC scientists encouraged that groups of differing interests work cooperatively together to address the Delta ecosystem and water supply issues. Unfortunately, blogs such as presented here will not help to reach the answers that we all need.
