Comment on Nunes Bill HR 1837 – ilk by Mary J. Mazzei

Mary J. Mazzei — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:50:30 +0000

This is the latest news I’ve seen on HR 1837. Does anyone know if there was a vote in the Senate yet? I applaud CA Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer for opposing.

Comment on STCDA submits comments on the draft “Delta Plan” by Richard Williams

Richard Williams — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 01:43:19 +0000

The Delta as we know it today will never be the same if this periperal canal is allowed to be made. The S.F. bay eco system will literally move miles east up the Sac river. Just fly over the area or look at a map that includes the bay and sac river…it’s a no brainer, you can see what will happen. There is a 3 hour difference from high tide in Redwood City compared to the Rio Vista bridge. It takes 3 hours for the sea water in the bay to “push” up stream and overcome the downstream waters of the Sacramento river. This tidal affect will be gone, the bay will push itself all the way up to the intake pipes. Then there is all the other slues and canals that see the “delta” affect of the fresh waters flowing down the sac river. These areas will also be turned to salt marshes. Any way, I not a rocket engineer…but it does not take one to figure out that this should not be allowed to happen. Even the “engineers” for the project will tell you they do not know what to expect in the future. (other than export water)

Comment on Stop the Delta Water Grab by mytoothdoc

ground water is being contaminated by nitrates from the central valley farmers. More water will mean more nitrate polution. Isn’t it time the farmers stopped growing rice and other water consuming crops and adopted new water conservaqtion methods? Developing new technology will bring more money to California’s economy (desalination? Drip irrigation etc)

Thank god…at least this part of the battle is over (I hope). Now we need to get the perhiperal canal and gates project stopped. It ain’t over yet by a long shot!!

Comment on SF Chronical Water Bond Article by Steve Dinger

The article responses to what most of us already know, the Governor, Senators and wealthy business/agri-business are all in bed with one another when it comes to our water. While the State decays, the select few place the rest of us in harms way. Tax Payer’s should not put up with this type of nonsense. It is time to become heard and take action. After all, it is our quality of life they are messing with on a daily basis.

Comment on Sacramento has excess water? by Bottled Water and Privatization « Save the California Delta Alliance (STCDA)

[...] “For the Love of Water”. The message is pertinant because, as we reported in the post Sacramento has Excess Water? earlier today, Nestlé just signed a 10-year agreement with Sacrmento to open a new bottling plant [...]

That is the most frightening idea. Nestle has already made devastating impacts on other water rich areas by drawing ground water for bottled water. This would just expedite the collapse of the CA delta. Horrible. This is the first I’ve heard of this. Please spread the word.

Comment on Senate Committee votes YES on 2-Gates Study by Gene Beley

Gene Beley — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 09:01:29 +0000

Nothing ever changes. Science shows these Two Gates dams are bad for the Delta, but government ignores the facts. Big money and special interests in Southern California are going to take the water no matter what the consequences to Northern California Delta area residents like those who live in the waterfront community of Discovery Bay that will get land locked. The big boat cruising community will not want to cruise to Disco Bay any longer and will head to other ports of call. Before we know it, we’ll have not two, but three, then four, then five of these dams in the Delta from Discovery Bay to Bethel Island. These dams will scare off the thousands of people who come to the Delta every year. The boating and resort industry in the Delta will suffer immensely. Next they will probably flood farmers’ lands in their greed to destroy the Delta. But the politicians really don’t give a damn because their main financial support comes from the Big Money interests like the Stuart Resnicks of the world living in Beverly Hills. I’m 70 and consider myself lucky to have been a member of the “Last Lucky Generation” to enjoy the Delta as it was meant to be before state and federal government interests completely destroy it.

Until we see desal plants being build in So. Cal or water reserves built throughout the State, we the tax payer’s should vote NO on any bonds or legislation depleting one areas water to prosper another area down stream. Water is too important for the survival of the eco-system and life as we know it. Vote it Down, until you see progress by the abuser’s.

Great news! Maybe we won’t have to break California into two states after all!
