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 .
Sincerely,
wk/t—,Mar i`t Aramburu
