Delta
Press release
From Restore the Delta - Thursday, Dec. 6, 2012
Coalition response...BDCP - A
21st Century Strategy was developed by comparing the 1982 proposal with
current BDCP efforts and applying updated science and methodologies. Part of
that updated science counters the claim by some who continue to argue that fish
habitat is dependent solely on increased freshwater flows. Current studies have
proven that multiple factors impact the habitat needed by fish, such as the
release of ammonia from wastewater discharges into the Sacramento River.
New regulatory guidelines, including the Natural
Community Conservation Planning Act, didn't even exist in 1982 and today it is
an important part of the BDCP process. Also, the 1982 proposal focused only on
salmon and striped bass while current BDCP efforts identify 214 biological
goals and objectives for the Delta ecosystem and native fish and wildlife
species, which total 57.
It is imperative that ongoing discussions related
to the Delta and California's water issues include facts and not rhetoric.
Otherwise, all of California will suffer.
