Rep. McNerney's Statement on Delay in Implementing the BDCP

Statement

Congressman Jerry McNerney (CA-09) today issued the following statement after the announcement by the California Department of Water Resources that it will delay implementation of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) until at least early 2015:

"The delay in implementing the BDCP is good news, and I am encouraged that the state realizes the plan is deeply flawed," said Rep. McNerney. "Delta families, farmers, and small businesses have had these concerns for years, and I am glad the state is finally paying attention. We need to work towards a water solution that is fair for the whole state and doesn't endanger the California Delta. That plan that should include more storage, desalinization, conservation, and efficiency."
