Notes from Matt Weiser’s twitter feed: Westlands and the EPA, plus first appointment to Delta Stewardship Council

Some interesting developments to note, courtesy of Matt Weiser’s twitter feed:

The EPA has sent a letter to Westlands Water District expressing concern regarding the conveyance of groundwater via the California Aqueduct:

” … We are concerned that the notice of preparation states the EIR analysis will only evaluate water quality impacts in comparison with drinking water standards. As applicable water quality standards for the Aqueduct were established to protect uses in addition to drinking water supply, the EIR should carefully evaluate project efforts with respect to all applicable water quality standards and associated beneficial uses. … “

On a different note, Matt Weiser has uncovered the first appointment to the new Delta Stewardship Council by former Speaker Bass (per page 3 of this March 1 Assembly Daily Journal): Gloria D. Gray,
board member of the Metropolitan Water District.
