Delta Flows: Premature Land Surveys for the Peripheral Canal
In this issue of the Delta Flows, Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla, Restore the Delta campaign director, reports on the latest scheme by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, the "Fish Terminator," to ram through the environmentally destructive and enormously costly peripheral canal. The Department of Water Resources, under Schwarzenegger's leadership, is reported to be sending nearly 1000 letters to California Delta property owners indicating that surveyors need to access private land in order to begin planning the massive corporate welfare project. "While the peripheral canal is neither a finalized position recommendation by the Delta Vision Blue Ribbon Task Force nor a funded project, Governor Schwarzenegger called for an environmental impact report earlier this year necessitating the land surveys," said Parrilla.
