Leland, Suite 100 Pittsburg, CA 94565 j J-1- Subject : Ten Percent Penalty Surcharge in the Delta Dear Tom: To fund the Delta Protection Commission, the Delta Protection Act of 1992 includes provision for penalty assessments in the amount of 100 on any fines imposed pursuant to Section 12202 , 12202 . 1, or 12002 . 2 of the Fish and Game Code and for any fines imposed pursuant to Section 668 of the Harbors and Navigation Code for violations within the Delta. The "Delta" means the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta as defined in Section 12220 of the Water Code . A map of the Delta is attached (source: Department of Water Resources 1993 Delta Atlas) . To date, no monies have been collected by the County courts under this provision. I have written to the Department of Fish and Game asking for assistance in identifying violations written in the Delta. Delta violations will include a slash and the capital letter 'D' after the violation code, for example: F&G 17145/D. On behalf of the Commission, I am asking your assistance in directing the staff issuing citations to properly identify then as Delta violations, and that County staff properly notes and records the Delta violations and collects the surcharge . The money should be forwarded to the State Controller' s office for credit to Fund # 237, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Protection Fund. Please call if you or your staff have any questions or suggestions .
