The Delta Stewardship Council, tasked with managing coequal goals of providing a more reliable water supply for California and protecting, restoring, and enhancing the Delta ecosystem, met for two-days, March 28-29. At this meeting it approved revisions to the Final Draft Delta Plan, its Programmatic Environmental Impact Report (PEIR), and a package of proposed regulations that would implement the Plan’s policies.

The Delta plan changes were based on more than 3,000 comments from over 250 organizations and individuals – the bulk of them coming from the most active water districts, environmental organizations, and Delta interests – during concurrent 45-day public comment periods held from November 2012 to January 2013.
