Learn about the Delta Stewardship Council’s work last year toward a reliable California water supply and resilient Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta ecosystem! The report centers around “Reflecting on Growth and Collaboration” and is hosted in an interactive storymap format. Through an in-depth narrative with visuals from across the region, visitors will learn how challenges can be overcome when we foster collaboration opportunities guided by the best available science and adaptive management.

The Delta Stewardship Council voted 6-0 at its January 23, 2025, meeting to approve a resolution adopting the DRAFT Determination (Decision D20242) dismissing four appeals of Certification No. C20242 submitted by the California Department of Water Resources for the 2024-2026 Proposed Geotechnical Activities (Proposed Geotech). The Council found that the Proposed Geotech is not a covered action and therefore dismissed the appeals for lack of jurisdiction. The Council’s role is as an appellate body, deciding appeals of an agency’s self-certification. The Council does not approve or reject certifications of consistency with the Delta Plan.
