The Delta Stewardship Council was created in legislation to achieve the state mandated coequal goals for the Delta. "'Coequal goals' means the two goals of providing a more reliable water supply for California and protecting, restoring, and enhancing the Delta ecosystem. The coequal goals shall be achieved in a manner that protects and enhances the unique cultural, recreational, natural resource, and agricultural values of the Delta as an evolving place." (CA Water Code §85054)
At their April 25, 2011 teleconference, the Delta ISB decided not to make comments on the third staff draft as a Board; however, some members elected to comment on some of the chapters of the third staff draft of the Delta Plan. Chair Norgaard prepared this cover memo and compilation of individual comments from Board members Brian Atwater, Michael Healey, Richard Norgaard, and John Wiens.
