San Francisco Bay/Sacramento – San Joaquin Delta Estuary (Bay-Delta) Program

SOUTHERN DELTA SALINITY and SAN JOAQUIN RIVER FLOW OBJECTIVES

The Bay Delta Strategic Workplan requires a concurrent basin planning and water rights proceeding to review and potentially modify: 1) the southern Delta salinity objectives for agricultural beneficial uses and 2) the San Joaquin River flow objectives for fish and wildlife beneficial uses included in the Bay-Delta Plan, and their implementation through water rights and other measures by 2012. In addition, the Workplan also requires an evaluation of compliance with southern Delta salinity and San Joaquin River flow objectives and enforcement and other actions (including acting on petitions) as appropriate.
