SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin
Delta Estuary (Bay-Delta system) is a critically important part of
California's natural environment and economy. In recognition of the
serious problems facing the region and the complex resource management
decisions that must be made, the state of California and the Federal
government are working together to stabilize, protect, restore, and
enhance the Bay-Delta system. The State and Federal agencies with
management and regulatory responsibilities in the Bay-Delta system are
working together as CALFED to provide policy direction and oversight
for the process.
One area of Bay-Delta management includes the establishment of a
joint State-Federal process to develop long-term solutions to problems
in the Bay-Delta system related to fish and wildlife, water supply
reliability, natural disasters, and water quality. The intent is to
develop a comprehensive and balanced plan which addresses all of the
resource problems. This effort will be carried out under the policy
direction of CALFED. A group of citizen advisors representing
California's agricultural, environmental, urban, business, fishing, and
other interests who have a stake in finding long term solutions for the
problems affecting the Bay-Delta system has been chartered under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) as the
[[Page 58096]]
Bay-Delta Advisory Council (BDAC) to advise CALFED on the program
mission, problems to be addressed, and objectives for the CALFED Bay-
Delta Program. BDAC will also provide a forum to help ensure public
participation, and will review reports and other materials prepared by
CALFED staff.
Minutes of the meeting will be maintained by the CALFED Bay-Delta
Program, Suite 1155, 1416 Ninth Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, and will
be available for public inspection during regular business hours,
Monday through Friday within 30 days following the meeting.
