Solano County Supervisor Mitch Mashburn joined eight others on the Delta Protection Commission to appeal the Certification of Consistency for the Delta Conveyance Project. The action, on a 9-0-1 vote, also included “submitting comments to the Delta Stewardship Council on any appeals filed by others.” Mashburn said there were “many reasons” for why an appeal was needed. He said the commission majority did not like the methodology the state Department of Water Resources used to reach its conclusions of consistency, and felt the estimated length of the project and the cost were flawed.
