Dear Supervisor Torlakson:
In accordance with Board Resolution No. 77/237 concerning "Adopting Policy Governing
Appointments to Boards and Commissions", the Fish and Wildlife Study Committee
(FWSC) transmits this 1983 Annual Report to your Board. This Report is a summary
of the activities and accomplishments of the FWSC and a proposed program for
the forthcoming year. Also, an attendance list is enclosed as specified in
the Board Resolution.
1983 was the second year of the Committee's existence. The main thrust of the
FWSC was to continue to educate ourselves about the complicated water issues
in California as to how they affect fish and wildlife resources. The FWSC took
field trips to the Elk Grove Striped Bass Fish Hatchery, the Corps of Engineers
San Francisco Bay/Delta Model , and the Pittsburg PG&E Power Plant. We also
heard presentations from the Suisun Marsh Conservation District, United Anglers,
and the State Department of Fish and Game.
The FWSC prepared recommendations concerning the striped bass resource which
was adopted by the Board of Supervisors and became County policy. The FWSC
also made recommendations to the Board concerning the Acme Fill landfill expansion
and the Water Hyacinth Control Program.
The FWSC participated in reviewing the County Flood Control District's process
for modifications to County streams in order to ensure that natural habitat
is preserved as much as possible. The Committee was also involved in monitoring
the Tulare Lake draining project.
In the forthcoming year, the FWSC will be evaluating the fish and wildlife aspects
of the various Delta water transfer proposals which will be discussed during
1984. The FWSC will also be evaluating the salt water barrier proposal.
The FWSC will continue to monitor- issues of importance regarding fish and wildlife
and is prepared to respond to any referrals that the Board of Supervisors, the
Water Agency or the Boards Water Committee wou a us to consider.
