Comprehensive Operations Plan and Monitoring Special Study Prepared by the Department of Water Resources and the U.S
August 25, 2019 Comprehensive Operations Plan and Monitoring Special Study Prepared by the Department of Water Resources and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation In Accordance with the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento- San Joaquin Delta Estuary—December 12, 2018 This Comprehensive Operations Plan (COP) and Monitoring Special Study (MSS) describes current and potential future actions that fully address the impacts of the State Water Project (SWP) and Central Valley Project (CVP) export operations on water levels and flow conditions that may affect salinity conditions in the southern Delta, including the availability of assimilative capacity for local sources of salinity. The COP includes detailed information regarding the configuration and operations of facilities relied upon in the COP and identifies performance goals for these facilities. Comprehensive Operations Plan Current SWP/CVP Operations Exports The Department of Water Resources (DWR) and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) operate the State Water Project and Central Valley Project (collectively Projects), respectively, in compliance with the terms and conditions contained in their water rights permits and licenses issued by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). In December 1999 (and amended in March 2000), the SWRCB issued Water Rights Decision 1641 (D-1641), which amended the associated water rights permits with additional terms and conditions to protect beneficial uses in the Delta. This included assigning responsibility to DWR and Reclamation for meeting specific water quality and flow objectives (DWR, 2006). In addition, DWR and Reclamation must also comply with regulatory requirements, as applicable, contained in, but not limited to: • 2008 U.S. -

Introduction
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this book is twofold: to provide general information for anyone interested in the California islands and to serve as a field guide for visitors to the islands. The book covers both general history and nat- ural history, from the geological origins of the islands through their aboriginal inhabitants and their marine and terrestrial biotas. Detailed coverage of the flora and fauna of one island alone would completely fill a book of this size; hence only the most common, most readily observed, and most interesting species are included. The names used for the plants and animals discussed in this book are the most up-to-date ones available, based on the scientific literature and the most recently published guidebooks. Common names are always subject to local variations, and they change constantly. Where two names are in common use, they are both mentioned the first time the organism is discussed. Ironically, in recent years scientific names have changed more recently than common names, and the reader concerned about a possible discrepancy in nomenclature should consult the scientific literature. If a significant nomenclatural change has escaped our notice, we apologize. For plants, our primary reference has been The Jepson Manual: Higher Plants of California, edited by James C. Hickman, including the latest lists of errata. Variation from the nomenclature in that volume is due to more recent interpretations, as explained in the text. Certain abbreviations used throughout the text may not be immedi- ately familiar to the general reader; they are as follows: sp., species (sin- gular); spp., species (plural); n. -

A Century of Delta Salt Water Barriers
A Century of Salt Water Barriers in the Delta By Tim Stroshane Policy Analyst Restore the Delta June 5, 2015 edition Since the late 19th century, California’s basic plan for water resource development has been to export water from the Sacramento River and the Delta to the San Joaquin Valley and southern California. Unfortunately, this basic plan ignores the reality that the Delta is the very definition of an estuary: it is where fresh water from the Central Valley’s rivers meets salt water from tidal flow to the Delta from San Francisco Bay. Productive ecosystems have thrived in the Delta for millenia prior to California statehood. But for nearly a century now, engineers and others have frequently referred to the Delta as posing a “salt menace,” a “salinity problem” with just two solutions: either maintain a predetermined stream flow from the Delta to Suisun Bay to hydraulically wall out the tide, or use physical barriers to separate saline from fresh water into the Delta. While readily admitting that the “salt menace” results from reduced inflows from the Delta’s major tributary rivers, the state of California uses salt water barriers as a technological fix to address the symptoms of the salinity problem, rather than the root causes. Given complex Delta geography, these two main solutions led to many proposals to dam up parts of San Francisco Bay, Carquinez Strait, or the waterway between Chipps Island in eastern Suisun Bay and the City of Antioch, or to use large amounts of water—referred to as “carriage water”— to hold the tide literally at bay.
