Thursday’s top of the scroll: Water pumping restrictions to protect Delta smelt end

Posted by: Aqua Blog Maven on July 2, 2009 at 8:07 am

From the Sacramento Bee:

Federal officials on Tuesday ended seasonal water pumping restrictions intended to protect the threatened Delta smelt.

The end of the water flow limits came in accordance with a biological opinion that governs Delta water export pumping only through June 30. Tuesday’s action means water exports this summer no longer will be restricted specifically to protect smelt. The pumping rules don’t resume again until winter.
