On Friday, the State Water Resources Control Board will hold the first day of a three-day public hearing on the draft staff report for the Sacramento Delta update to the Bay Delta Water Quality Control Plan. The Board is accepting public comments on the report through December 15. The report examines the potential economic, environmental, and other impacts of various options for updating the Bay Delta Plan, including the proposed voluntary agreements. Curious to know how the staff proposal and voluntary agreements compare? In a workshop held on October 19 workshop, the State Water Board staff delved into the details of the report, discussing the background, key components, and modeling results for both the staff proposal and the voluntary agreements. This is essentially a transcript of the staff presentation.
