Did the gov hide a report that shows Trump’s water plan would hurt California salmon

Post by WB Staff »

Federal officials suppressed a lengthy environmental document that details how one of California’s unique salmon runs would be imperiled by Trump administration plans to deliver more water to Central Valley farms.

The July 1 assessment, obtained by The Times, outlines how proposed changes in government water operations would harm several species protected by the Endangered Species Act, including perilously low populations of winter-run salmon, as well as steelhead trout and killer whales, which feed on salmon.

But the 1,123-page document was never released.

Two days after federal scientists submitted their review, called a biological opinion, a regional fisheries official pulled the document and replaced the team that wrote it with a new group tasked with revising it...

This is so wrong on so many levels. When the scientists who actually know what they're talking about get replaced because they tell an inconvenient truth there is something wrong with our government.

Doesn't anyone have anything to say about this? It's the life of the Delta that's being talked about.

Don't believe scientist anymore after all the lying about global warming/climate change. Just more TDS.

This should probably go to the politics page, but Trump supporters apparently don’t care that he is a racist or that he took the side of Putin over this country. Given that they continue to support him after all that, did you really think that they would change their mind based on the fact that his policies will hurt the Delta?

This is not about us. It's about the Delta, and the water grab by the San Joaquin farmers.

If you repeat a lie long enough folks will start believing it.
In this case, you'll have to keep it up for awhile longer, we're not having any of it. :lol:

From Restore the Delta:
“The death of the twin-tunnels project hasn’t stopped Central Valley farmers’ efforts to send more water south to irrigate their fields at the expense of the health of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.

“The latest assault on the Delta, which supplies roughly one-third of the Bay Area’s water, is the Trump administration’s efforts to gut the federal Endangered Species Act. Removing protections in existence for nearly 50 years threatens not only the Delta’s wildlife but also the quality of its fresh water….

“The California Legislature can fend off the president’s move by passing Senate Bill 1. The legislation, authored by Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, would establish as state standards the federal environmental protections that were in existence when Trump became president on Jan. 20, 2017…”
