DWR and Bureau of Reclamation Release Revised Biological Assessment for California WaterFix

This week, the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) released a revised biological assessment for the California WaterFix to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) with a request to begin the formal consultation process under Section 7 of the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA).  

The intended goal of WaterFix is to balance the needs of California residents with the needs of Delta fish and wildlife.  This biological assessment articulates how WaterFix would be operated to meet the needs of endangered species.

The complete biological assessment, appendices and figures can be accessed here.
