To Whom it May Concern,

I am writing you in response to the request for public commentary for~-=--=~--=~"-=-~="'-=~= -"-'-==o..=~"-=-~="'· There are many groups out there that are opposing this project for a variety of reasons. A lot of them are however neglecting to mention the impact that the project will have on the community members of the Delta.

Many of the people that live in the Delta have been there for generations. The homes and lands that they live on were and are maintained through labors of love. I was raised in Hood, California. Hood is scheduled to be bought and destroyed through imminent domain laws if this project goes through. Though the town is small it is full of history and love. Currently a majority of the neighbors in Hood are elderly. They are retired and trying to live out their golden years in homes tlut they worked hard to buy and take care of. Homes that they have raised their children, grandchildren, and even great grandchildren in. To have them evicted and sent into an unknown future because of a project that so many people are against is unfair. A lot of the other neighbors are the children and grandchildren of longtime Hood residents who are trying to continue a way of life that has existed for over a hundred years. Similar communities exist all over the Delta. To ruin the livelihood and way of life for thousand of people would be appalling.

Not only will this project not solve the water crisis, it will make it worse. Not only will the project be expensive, it will financially ruin many people and businesses. This project is terribly flawed and shouldn't be permitted. Please consider not approving the permit.

The Delta Reform Act of 2009, in which the California State Legislature committed

to the "coequal goals" of providing a more reliable water supply for California AND

protecting and restoring the cultural, recreational, natural resource, and agricultural

values of the Delta, cannot be upheld if the Delta Tunnels come to pass.

The California Water Fix does not meet the restoration goals of the Delta Reform

Act; it is simply a plan to export more water out of the San Francisco Bay-Delta

estuary. The Delta Tunnels will also fail to provide more reliable water because the

Delta watershed is already oversubscribed by five times in normal water years.

My objections to the tunnels are threefold: The California Water Fix does not address the environmental, public health or

economic impacts of the proposed Delta tunnels project. Also, the plan ignores

alternatives that would save California tax and ratepayers billions of dollars, while

investing in the jobs and local water sources that build sustainability.

My environmental concerns with the plan are:

· The impact on wildlife and plant species in the Delta that depend on freshwater

include the Delta smelt, chinook salmon, steelhead, San Joaquin kit fox, and

tricolored blackbird, protected species already on the brink that will face decimation

due to a diminishing food-web.

· At sea, even the ESA-listed South Pacific Puget Sound Orca Whales depend on

migrating Delta species that will be harmed by less water flowing through the Delta.

· The tunnels plan seems to ignore Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act which

prohibits federal agency actions that are likely to jeopardize the continued existence

of any endangered species or that "result in the destruction or adverse modification

of [critical] habitat of [listed] species."

My public health concerns with the plan are:

· The tunnels will cause increased contamination of municipal water and wells for the millions of rural and urban residents living in the five Delta counties.

· The tunnels plan fails to model for potential increases of carcinogens and other

formation of byproducts that would cause cancer and other serious health effects.

· Environmental justice communities, who depend on subsistence fishing, will also

face food and health insecurities as a result of increased contaminants, specifically

mercury contamination, in fish and wildlife populations.

My economic concerns with the plan are: · For large metropolitan cities such as Los Angeles and San Jose that depend on

export water, water rates and/ or property taxes will go up, but they will get no additional water.

· No analysis has been done on how the lack of fresh \Vater flows will impact San

Francisco Bay tourism and recreation. These industries depend on Delta fresh water

flows for their crab and salmon fisheries, wildlife sighting, boating, and their

restaurant economy. This industry is worth billions annually.

· Salinity intrusion is already impacting the western Delta farms and removing

Sacramento River freshwater from the system will nuke matters worse. Delta farmers

cannot irrigate crops with salt water and they certainly cannot plant crops in contaminated soils. The Delta Ag economy, which consists of generations of family

farms and farm workers, generates $5.2 billion for the California economy, annually.

· California coastal fishing communities depend on thriving wildlife. This historic

industry is worth billions annually, with the salmon industry worth $1.5 billion

annually alone. Thousands of jobs and livelihoods are tied to these industries.

· The operation and construction of the tunnels will obstruct and disable navigable

waterways for boating, marinas and other types of leisure activities, in addition to

creating conditions of low water flow that will foster invasive aquatic species, such as

water hyacinth. Poor water quality also creates unsafe recreation. Recreation and

tourism in the Delta generate $7 SO million annually.

Alternatives to Water Exports Ignored Far far less expensive and less environmentally destructive alternatives to the Delta

Tunnels were largely ignored. The plan does not seriously consider any alternatives

other than new, upstream conveyance. The decision-making process (from the

outset) has tilted in favor of increasing water exports from the Delta.

Our tax and ratepayer dollars would be much better spent on:

· More aggressive water efficiency program statewide that would apply to both urban

and agricultural users.

· Funding water recycling and groundwater recharging projects statewide that would

be billions of dollars less expensive for rate payers than constructing a new version

of the Peripheral Canal or major new surface storage dams. 1\1eanwhilc, these

projects move communities towards water sustainability.

· Retiring thousands of acres of impaired and pollution generating farmlands in the

southern San J oaguin Valley and using those lands for more sustainable and

profitable uses, such as solar energy generation.

· Improving Delta levees in order to address potential earthquake, flooding, and

future sea level rise concerns at a cost between $2 to $4 billion and is orders of

magnitude less expensive than major conveyance projects that are currently being

contemplated.

· Increasing freshwater flows through the Delta to reduce pollutants so ecosystems

and wildlife can be restored.

· Installing fish screens at the south Delta pumps to reduce the current salvage of

marine life.

In Summary The Delta has problems that need to be addressed, but the CA \Vater Fix tunnels are

a 20th century idea that won't fix them. It won't produce n10re water, more reliable

supplies, or improved conditions for the environment in the Delta.

The new EIR/EIS has not adequately addressed my above stated concerns. T'hat is

why I oppose the Delta Tunnels/ California \Vater Fix (Alternative 4A).

Reclamation and DWR should prepare and circulate a new Draft EIR/ S that will

include alternatives that reduce water exports and increase Delta flows for

consideration by the public and decision-makers. Such alternatives have a far better

chance of complying with the Delta Reform Act and the federal Endangered Species

and Clean Water Acts.

ocr -a 2015

I am opposed to this project much the same way I was opposed to the Peripheral Canal. I have lived in

Stockton my whole life and can't understand why Jerry Brown is trying to ram this project down the

throats of the California citizens without a proper public vote. The canal lost out in the 70's, and this is

no more of the same.

This project will decimate the Delta estuary with salinity from the bay. Why was a rock wall built in the

Delta this summer if that were not the case? Just two days ago, pictures and an article were published

in the Stockton Record showing Dutra Company tearing the rock wall apart, probably in anticipation of a

rainy season and no more need to keep salinity out of the Delta.

With the Delta, in its present state gone, local economies such as Antioch, Rio Vista, Stockton, Lodi, and

yes, even Sacramento will be affected by this terrible project.

I think the politicians of this state, who are employed by the citizens of this state, should start looking

for more viable water storage projects (dams), and quit running around the voters to satisfy the thirst of

Southern California and West!ands.

And while I am at it, $60 billon dollars could build three or four Water Desalination plants in So Cal very

easily. Keep California Green, Don't Kill lt.

Call it the "SoCal Water Ripoff". Do not destroy the Bay-Delta by rerouting its freshwater flows around the Delta. Salt water intrusion will destroy it. Soon enough the southern valley will have drained its underlying aquifers. Then they will demand all of northern California's water. Do not make this possible. Let them figure out how to use the water they have productively. Or spend the money on desalination to make water for them. Tough break.

I live in Southern California and do not want to see the diversion of water to Socal. I live in a desert and do so by choice. We are suffering a drought here as is all of Cal. We need to live with what we have by cutting back on our use of water. As I was in Northern Cal earlier this summer I saw plenty of water waste where the farmers themselves were wasting water on their own yards or should I say mansions with huge yards and we down in the desert were having water rationing or be fined. Yes I am gladly cutting back on water use as we in the desert should do our part but the ripping out citrus to plant nuts is nuts. The difference of water use between nuts and citrus is very meaningful. We are all going to do our part to cut back. Please do not pass this bill. May God bless

Governor Brown likes the reputation of an environmentally responsible governor. However, the underground water export tunnels proposed for the Bay-Delta will only ensure reckless, unsustainable farming practices that have devastated California's unique environmental treasures, and which have vastly depleted California's water, and promises to ensure a future of bad farming practices, one of which is the planting of water intensive crops that are NOT suitable for California's climate and NOT suitable for much of California's soils.

Yet, these greedy farmers want to abuse our natural resources to sell to a WORLD market!

It is insane farmers, working with short-sighted politicians, to ensure a horrible future for our water and the environment.

Governor Brown SHOULD be taking action to purchase up vast tracks of Central Valley and Coastal California farm land and turn those lands into newly created lakes and marshes that mimic historic native California's environment (prior to invasion by white people).

These vast tracks of new wetlands and wild lands would be a huge gain for tourism, recreation, education, and natural water collection and reserves for dry years.

Governor Brown, you are better than this! Take action to STOP this water grab that only supports UN-sustainable and environmentally irresponsible farming practices.

RECIRC779.

I live and work between California and Australia, and we are fighting to fix the over-allocation of water rights in Australia also. Sensitive Australian ecosystems have been destroyed through denying them a sufficient flow of water, so that water-intensive crops like cotton can be grown in areas totally inhospitable to agriculture without artificial irrigation. California shouldn't make the same mistake. Do not reroute Northern California river water to support unsustainable agriculture.

What happens when the water is gone.? This stick-a-straw-in-the -earth approach makes no sense. Almonds won't be grown anymore when the water is drained. What happens to the rest of the living things in this state when the water and almond farms are gone?

I think we should stop fraking in our state first. We should also have regulation that requires efficient watering systems for agriculture. decreasing water usage in big ag without reducing output is totally possible. Why are they still flooding fields and not using mulch? they should be using efficient irrigation systems and mulch. they could probably reduce water usage by 50% or more. Then maybe we wouldn't need these tunnels.

I grew up in California. I am an avid fisherman and outdoorsman. This proposed water project would have devastating impacts on the California Delta and all the creatures that inhabit it. Please do not approve this project and keep this diverse and incredibly unique part of California from being changed forever. Our children will not forgive us if we allow this water grab to happen.

Best, Trevor


The deceptively named "California Water Fix" does not address the multitude of adverse environmental, public health, and economic impacts the proposed Delta tunnels project would cause. Further, the pian ignores alternatives that would save California tax- and ratepayers billions of dollars, while investing in jobs and local water sources that build sustainability, instead of severely damaging the Delta and Bay ecosystems.

This proposal was defeated in the past--it seems crazy that we have to deal with it again! Please do your jobs and put the integrity of the environment ahead of big ag, encouraging Central Valley farmers and all of California to conserve water rather than sacrifice ecosystems to our own self indulgence.
