The Delta Stewardship Council staff on May 14 released the final draft Delta Plan, drawing a response from Delta advocates that “the fix is in” to build a peripheral canal or tunnel.
Council Executive Officer Joe Grindstaff touted the plan, submitted to the seven-member Council for review, comment and adoption, as “a common sense approach to achieving the coequal goals of restoring the Delta ecosystem and providing a reliable water supply for California.”
“We expect the Council to make revisions, and make a final decision after an appropriate environmental review,” he claimed.
