Imperial Irrigation District urges action on Salton Sea

From the Imperial Valley Press:

The Imperial Irrigation District is attempting to prod the state into action on Salton Sea restoration so that the district can begin the transition from fallowing to efficiency-based conservation.

The IID Board of Directors voted unanimously at Tuesday’s meeting on a resolution urging the state to fulfill its obligations. “This resolution says specifically what the district is for,” said IID General Manager Brian Brady.

Brady called for the resolution at last week’s board meeting, saying the board needed to push harder in order to get the state to act. This resolution, Brady said, was an improvement on previous ones that only defined parts of restoration efforts that the district was against.

The move came as Brady said that a previously dead piece of legislation regarding restoration may be on the path to revival. The bill, proposed by state Sen. Denise Ducheny, D-San Diego, aims to establish a sea restoration council and charge it with developing and financing restoration efforts.
