- Bay_Delta_Conservation_Plan abstract "The Bay Delta Conservation Plan is a controversial $25 billion plan promulgated by the California Department of Water Resources to build two tunnels to carry fresh water from the Sacramento River under the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta toward the intake stations for the State Water Project and the Central Valley Project. Each tunnel would be 150 feet below ground, 40 feet in diameter and 30 miles in length. The project would also include three new intakes with a capacity of 3000 cubic feet per second each, and a total annual yield of 4.9 million acre-feet. The tunnels themselves would cost $17 billion, while $8 billion would be devoted to habitat restoration. These tunnels would largely follow the path of the previous Peripheral Canal proposal. Politically these tunnels are considered closely associated with Governor of California Jerry Brown.Currently, water is exported from the Sacramento River to the State Water Project and the Central Valley Project. Currently the water being exported is diverted from the Sacramento River at the Delta Cross Channel and flows through a maze of river channels and sloughs before entering the Clifton Court Forebay north of Tracy. From here the Banks Pumping Plant pumps water into the California Aqueduct and the South Bay Aqueduct; the nearby Bill Jones Pumping Plant pumps water into the Delta-Mendota Canal. Freshwater flows into the Delta rather than entering the San Francisco Bay. The freshwater/saltwater gradient has moved inland due to 5 to 7 million acre feet (6.2 to 8.6 km3) of water being exported each year to the Central Valley and Southern California. According to proponents of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan, building the tunnels directly to the pumping plants would mitigate this problem because the pumps would no longer have to pump directly from the delta; the tunnels could also protect the state's water system from the sea level rise predicted to occur as a result of global warming. It would also \"reinstate a more natural direction of river flows in the South Delta by 46-160 percent\" However, the Peripheral Canal proposal has been criticized because it would further reduce the amount of freshwater flowing through the Delta. Farmers in the Delta are among the most opposed to the project because it would decrease the amount of water available to them for irrigation.On August 28, 2014 the United States Environmental Protection Agency commented that the plan could violate the Clean Water Act and harm endangered fish species. In addition, the US Fish and Wildlife Service said they would not issue permits for the plan because the state could not prove that the habitat restoration plans would be effective in helping the salmon, sturgeon, or delta smelt. As a result, the Brown administration separated the habitat restoration plan and the water supply improvement plan. Before 2015, the Bay Delta Conservation Plan had two coequal goals of habitat restoration and water supply improvement. In effect, the 50-year guarantee to restore the Delta's environment has been dropped.".
