We hope all of you are staying safe and well.
In this stressful time of a world pandemic, we do not think it is also a time to have to worry about anything except our families, our communities, and our businesses.
The Delta Tunnel(s) project has always caused a lot of angst for we who live in the Delta and love the Delta. The groups who have been fighting the tunnel are pleading with the organizations that are still trying to rush this new destructive Single Tunnel project through to stop, let people focus on the important issues in their lives, and not add more stress.
We haven’t been pushing for our members to submit comments on the Single Tunnel Notice of Preparation (NOP) which were originally due tomorrow, it just didn’t seem right. Instead, groups have been pushing the DWR to delay. Fortunately, because of pushback, the DWR moved the comment period end from March 20 to April 17. Still, that’s only 10 days after the current “Shelter in Place” ends and, unfortunately, the shut-down is likely to be extended. We think the DWR needs to just cancel the Single Tunnel efforts until this coronavirus crisis is behind us.
If you are bored at home and want to keep track of when things are due and any updates, go to our Event Tracker tab. The top part of that page gives info on upcoming events, like the current April 17 comments due date and where to send comments. Below that is our history of events. We’ll try to keep that page current.
And there are some new developments we’ll be sending out.
But if you are like Karen and I, we are having trouble focusing on anything with all of our family worries right now. So the most important thing is to stay safe and well!
Karen Mann, President
Jan McCleery, Past President
