Re: Endagered Species Act Signs Off on Delta Tunnels

If anyone out there has a link to more petitions, where I can donate, where I can sit and protest, where I can friggn do something, please post it. Restore the Delta is definitely fighting for the Delta ........ Perhaps sending them $25 instead of buying another swimbait might do some good........ ...

Re: Endagered Species Act Signs Off on Delta Tunnels

Don't know what to do ...... just went to "Restore the Delta" and sent them $25.
They are the only organization that has a prayer of stopping this disaster.

Re: Endagered Species Act Signs Off on Delta Tunnels

Have the Tunnels ever been on a ballot in California to determine if the residents of this State want to spend $17.1B to both destroy the Delta and further enrich the water whores who are already taking our water ? Or is it moving forward because Jerry Brown & Stewart Resnick say it is a good id...

Re: Delta Closures - March 31 Update

Fished this morning, stayed out of the "5 mph restricted area" ..... which was 8:00 to Noon because I didn't want to deal with it. People I know who did venture in said the speed limit was being substantially ignored.

Delta Closures - March 31 Update

Following Link for updated Delta Closures / Restrictions from San Joaquin County.
Looks like some more of Old River has been revised from "Pink" / Closed to "Orange" / 5mph Tide Restriction.

Ranger 519v is correct. The San Joaquin County OES written directive is incorrect.

You are right, it is a State project, the State however will need federal money to fund this $16 billion dollar disaster. Hopefully the Federal "environmental review" will rule in favor of the environment.
