Thank goodness. The Bay-Delta Plan can now be litigated.
Thank Gavin Newsom for igniting California’s biggest water war!
Watching the Newsom team & @CaWaterBoards desperate attempts to set a record of the greatness of the Bay-Delta Plan would be hilarious if it weren’t so serious for the Delta, the millions of people in the region who will be impacted & tribes upstream. History will remember this.

"It just doesn't work", said Barry Nelson, advisor for the Golden State Salmon Association. "It’s like having a car with two steering wheels, two accelerators, and drivers wanting to go in opposite directions.” @goldenstsalmon 3/4
Without federal participation, California could lose 25% of the funding needed to implement the plan, placing the financial burden on taxpayers while questions remain about how the plan will adequately protect Delta communities and ecosystems. 4/4

#ICYMI: A new LA Times article highlights California's $180 million agreement for additional water for Sacramento River salmon, at an estimated $36,000 per acre-foot. Critics question the cost, transparency, & how much water will benefit the ecosystem.

Restore the Delta retweeted
The Newsom administration agreed to pay an investment company $180 million in a deal that requires a farm to leave water in the Sacramento River. State officials say it will help fish and the environment. Critics say it was a bad deal for taxpayers.

My face when I remember the Delta tunnel and Voluntary Agreements are still in place at the CA State Water Board 😐
The upcoming Bay-Delta Plan hearings are our chance to speak up for stronger water protections & communities that depend on the Delta.

🌊 Myth vs. Fact: Bay-Delta Plan Edition
California’s Bay-Delta Plan is meant to protect water quality, river flows, and ecosystems across the state’s largest estuary and watershed. But the latest update leaves critical gaps in science, public health, and participation. 1/5
❌ Myth: The Bay-Delta Plan adequately addresses harmful algal blooms (HABs) and protects public health.
✅ Fact: The plan does not establish enforceable standards for cyanotoxins associated with HABs. Reliance on VAs also sidesteps strict regulations needed to address HABs. 4/5
📣 The State Water Board will soon vote on whether to adopt the updated Bay-Delta Plan on October 28-29.
🗣️ Join us on Wednesday, October 21, from 7-8 PM to prepare for the hearings and make your voice heard.
