RCRC Submits Comments on Bay Delta Conservation Plan

RCRC submitted comments on the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP), the BDCP draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (DEIR/EIS), and the BDCP Implementation Agreement (IA) on July 29, 2014.  Of particular concern to RCRC is the 50-year permit term, the guarantees proposed to be afforded to the proponents of the BDCP, and the lack of assurances for areas upstream of the Delta and in-Delta which are not party to the BDCP. 

Given the significant deficiencies in the BDCP, RCRC is urging federal and state agencies to significantly revise and then recirculate for public review and comment the draft BDCP, DEIE/EIS, and the draft IA.
