Subject: Sign our petition letter for sustainable water practices in California


Dear :

I am writing to express my opposition to the current Delta water package SB 68 and to express my support for the sustainable water policy ideas proposed by Restore the Delta and twenty-three additional environmental organizations on October 9, 2009.

First, I oppose the creation of a Delta Council on which the Delta would only have one representative. Second, I oppose the authority the Council would have over all quality of life issues in the Delta as it would have the right to override approval of local agencies for all local projects. Third, I oppose the intent of the bill "authorization of new conveyance" as this would offer a new layer of super protection for the outcome of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan. Fourth, I oppose the idea that protecting the Delta, fisheries and communities alike, can be set as a co-equal goal with water exports to another region in California, all at a loss to the Delta's ecosystem and economy. And last, I oppose a general obligation water bond or bonds that will fund infrastructure and programs that will not restore the Delta, regardless of whether these bonds are offered as one large package or in future bond cycles.

I am for a water package that promotes regional self-sufficiency. I am for a water package that has measurable and enforceable standards for the Delta, including fish recovery goals, and water quality standards. I am for a water package that moves toward addressing the water needs of Californians in an equitable manner, rather than perpetuating our current water management system which favors a small group of wealthy landowners on the Westside of the San Joaquin Valley. And most importantly, I am for a water package that creates a sustainable financing system in which the water beneficiary pays for the system.

Thank you for considering these ideas.

Sincerely yours,
