SUBJECT: STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD - STRIPED BASS LETTER
5pecific Request(s) or Recommendation(s) & Bac group us kation
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the Chairman of the Board and the Chair of the Board' s Water Committee to sign a
letter to the State Water Resources Control Board requesting a response to the November 13,
1985 letter from the County concerning State actions addressing the decline in striped bass
population.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
None
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The Board had previously sent a letter dated November 13, 1985 to the State Water Resources
Control Board expressing concern about the decline in striped bass populations in the
Bay/Delta system. The County requested the State Water Resources Control Board to take
immediate action to address this major problem. It was suggested that immediate hearings
on the striped bass situation be scheduled to develop new standards for the estuary which
could result in immediate modifications to the water rights permits for the State and
Federal water projects. The letter also requested that there be an increase in the level
of effort to research the decline of the striped bass.
The County has not received a response from the State Water Resources Control Board. It
was brought to the Water Committee's attention that other agencies and organizations have
not received responses to their inquiries to the State Water Resources Control Board on
this and similar matters. Given the importance of this issue, it is appropriate for the
Board to send another letter to the members of the State Water Resources Control Board
requesting they they respond to the November 1.3, 1985 letter. In the past, letters from
the Board to the State Water Resources Control Board have usually been responded to promptly.
