A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF DANVILLE
Regarding AB 1710
WHEREAS, water is California's most precious and sought-after
natural resource; and
WHEREAS, California's water resources must be managed in an
environmentally-safe and economically-sound manner in which some
regions of the state are not unfairly benefited to the detriment
of other regions; and
WHEREAS, AB 1710 (Costa) addresses, in part, some of the
negative impacts of the current water transport system but,
nevertheless, is intended to increase the supply of Delta water
exported south without providing adequate protections for the
Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta estuary; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Danville believes there should be no
increase in the current annual level of export out of the Delta
until the following protections and safeguards have been enacted
and are in place:
1. statutory protection for the San Francisco Bay-Delta
estuary;
2. issuance of new water quality standards for the Bay and
Delta by the State Water Resources Control Board;
3. initiation of an adequate, comprehensive program to
reconstruct and maintain Delta levees;
4. negotiation of contractual obligations for restoration
of the fisheries;
5. implementation of water banking; and
