Solano County officials are crafting an appeal of the Certification of Consistency for the Delta tunnel project. The state Department of Water Resources submitted its certification for the Delta Conveyance Project on Oct. 17. The county Board of Supervisors on Oct. 21 voted unanimously in closed session to appeal the document. “Solano will be working with San Joaquin, Yolo and (the) Central Delta Water Agency to file a joint request that the Delta Stewardship Council remand the Certification of Consistency back to DWR because the county believes the DCP will have severe negative impacts on the Delta and is inconsistent with the Delta Plan,” the County Counsel’s Office said in an email response to the Daily Republic.
