ALT Youth, Tribal members from across Northern California, Fishermen and Delta Frontline communities rally at the California EPA against a proposal about Voluntary Agreements replacing a water quality control plan during a salmon crisis.
Fishermen, Tribal Members, and Residents Ask California Water Board to Support
Science-Based Water Plan, Deny Voluntary Agreements
Coalition Rally at #California State Water Board Voluntary Agreement Hearing
1001 I Street Sacramento
April 26th 12:30 pm #NativeAmerican#cawater
We are here outside the Cal EPA building with @SaveCaliSalmon & @goldenstsalmon on day 3 of the @CaWaterBoards Voluntary Agreements workshop. The VAs exclude the voices of Tribal Nations, fishing groups, & environmental justice communities. We demand better!!! 🐟#CAWATER#NoVAs
Wow, here’s an ad for the water buffalo/side deal Voluntary Agreements that would fail to restore needed freshwater flows into the Delta from our own Resources Agency.

#sitesreservoir will destroy the environment just like the tunnel will. How will there be enough water for this tunnel project if the water is being stored at Sites? These projects are just destructive cash grabs!

#NoDeltaTunnels The Delta Conveyance project will irreparably harm the Delta, Delta communities, and fish, and under no circumstances should any tunnel project be built in or around the Delta.
A tale of two Delta towns. Uncovering Asian American history. Our first visit is to the historic town of Iselton. How Asian immigrants laid the foundation for the Delta as we know it today.
WATCH, stream or set the DVR.

Poor Hood would be surrounded by construction activity for a decade! Then the landscape would be irreparably altered even after the traffic levels go back down. No one would want this for his/her community.
@SaveHoodCA
Ug, terrible for the North Delta, and especially the tiny community of Hood. Please go home and work on water resilience projects in your own regions. In the Delta, you can start with properly maintaining/improving the existing water conveyance system.
@SaveHoodCA@Delta_Action
Really, #DeltaTunnel is a tired old idea with no relevance to climate change. The new diversions, if built, would take water off of the #Sacramento River all year long, even when flows are low. Also, tunnel would do nothing to increase potential water storage south Delta. #CAwx

The proposed project includes two double launch shafts, three shafts for receiving and removing the boring machines plus six maintenance shafts for a total of 13 shafts. Read more at bit.ly/406mGBn
"Callender said the unnamed developer called him about five months ago and said the Chinese government could pay some or all of the dam costs." 😲Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse. @valleywater should NOT be considering any funding from China.
📢‼️Call the board members and tell them NO to Chinese government funding of the already failing Pacheco Dam project.
#NoNewDam#CAwx
Hey @CA_DWR ! How are you going to capture and store all the water that will be hitting SoCal this week? Or do your "strategies" only consist of bleeding the Delta dry?

“In the wake of recent federal legislation addressing aging infrastructure in the United States, it is important to prioritize removing dams that have flooded tribal land,” says @HeatherFRandell.
@sharonudasin reports.
More than a million acres of Native lands on US reservations and Oklahoma Tribal Statistical Areas have been lost to dams, devastating natural resources and also destroying culturally significant sites. thehill.com/policy/energy-en…
This claim fails to account for the fact that the state did not have a place to store additional water this winter. All the reservoirs were full. The tunnel is not the best way to secure water supplies, and would destroy the Delta. Time to move on to real 21st century solutions.
