The outcome of this multi-year effort reflects collaboration of public water agencies, state and federal fish and wildlife agencies, business and agricultural stakeholders, local governments and the public. It is our opinion that Alternative No. 4, which provides for three northern intakes along the Sacramento River, 9,000 cfs twin-tunnel system conveying water to the existing aqueduct, coupled with a comprehensive habitat conservation plan, is best to meet California’s coequal goals of reliability and ecosystem restoration. This proposed tunnel system will protect public water supplies from seismic risk and subsequent saltwater intrusion from San Francisco Bay. The intakes will reduce conflicts between water systems and migrating fish species. Habitat improvements will provide native species with the healthy ecosystem they need to survive. Rosemead Chamber supports the Bay Delta Conservation Plan -- and specifically Alternative No. 4 -- as a workable proposal leading to an action plan offering seismic protection, long-term supply reliability, critical habitat restoration, immediate job creation and statewide economic sustainability. Sincerely, Helen Hua CEO/Executive Director cc: Federal and state officeholders within the organization’s jurisdiction
