The sad truth is that we have never been more disappointed in @Gavinnewsom than we are today. On the day that reports are out about the largest HABs outbreak we have seen, a rubric has been introduced discussing the Delta tunnel's water quality merits for the SWP only.
We feel as if we have wasted the last 18 months trying to collaborate with @CA_DWR & the SEC because the criteria ignores the Delta reform act of co-equal goals. Nothing is being offered to solve our water quality problems. We understand the process much better than DWR thinks.
The problem is the foundation/premises the plan is being developed on. Why should the entire state suffer damage and water quality degradation for the SWP? There is no equity in that.
The Delta is detiorating rapidly, & nothing is being done because all resources are directed toward the tunnel and voluntary agreements. Last DWR considering isolated conveyance that means water will be taken directly in a 6000 cfs facility from Sac River. Imagine HABs then?
