Outgoing Correspondence
The activities of the Delta Stewardship Council (Council) include the need for a thorough two-way dialogue between the Council and those who rely on the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta watershed. While much of the conversation occurs at the Council’s monthly meetings, another significant portion occurs through letter and email correspondence. Below you’ll find the letters generated by either councilmembers or staff since January 2018. To request access to unlinked correspondence or correspondence that took place prior to January 2018, please contact archives@deltacouncil.ca.gov.
