BAY DELTA CONSERVATION PLAN
Opinion
By Deanna Lynn Wulff
From Bilingual Weekly - Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Coalition response...Elected by the people of California, the Legislature acted in 2009 to
establish a reliable water supply through the Delta and to restore the Delta's
ecosystem. The Bay Delta Conservation Plan proposes to accomplish those two
goals by implementing an improved conveyance system that considers optilons
including one with twin tunnels and also to restore 140,000 acres of habitat in
the region. Scientists and researchers have worked for seven years to develop
the proposal offered through BDCP. The first four chapters of the plan are
available at http://baydeltaconservationplan.com/BDCPPlanningProcess/KeyAnnouncements.aspx
and the remaining chapters are scheduled for release.

From Modesto Bee - Tuesday, March 19, 2013
Coalition response...HR 934 seeks to provide flexibility for a water supply system that both
protects environmental resources and delivers water to a significant
food-producing region of the state. Approval of HR 934 would enable the raising
of the spillway, not the dam, at New Exchequer Dam by 10 feet. During wet
years, about every three years, Merced Irrigation District would store an
additional 70,000 acre-feet of water that could be used by local farmers in dry
years. This kind of compromise serves the river and the people who depend on it
for their livelihoods. Even John Muir acknowledged the benefits of using Sierra
waters to irrigate the rich farmland in the Valley.
