A coalition of tribes and environmental advocates are calling on the Delta Stewardship Council to reject the California Department of Water Resources Certification of Consistency for the proposed Delta Conveyance Project. “The coalition includes the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians, the Winnemem Wintu Tribe, San Francisco Baykeeper, Center for Biological Diversity, California Sportfishing Protection Alliance, Little Manila Rising, Friends of the River, California Indian Environmental Alliance, Sierra Club California and Restore the Delta,” the coalition said in a statement. The group is holding a virtual press conference on Wednesday to outline its legal concerns. It is scheduled prior to the two-day Delta Stewardship Council hearings to consider the certification.
