Delta Conveyance Project opponents say plan would hurt environment, tourism, farming
Attorneys and officials opposed to a massive California water project pleaded their case Thursday to an oversight panel, arguing point by point how the Delta Conveyance Project failed to meet specified criteria. … The opponents — which included several groups, governmental entities and Native American tribes — delivered similar messages: a certificate of consistency issued in October that shows the project as consistent with the Delta plan is faulty. The state Department of Water Resources failed to show the project would uphold the plan’s two coequal goals: creating a reliable, statewide water supply while protecting and restoring the Delta ecosystem that preserves its values as a place.
