San Joaquin County Reaffirms Opposition to Development of a Peripheral Canal
The County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution R-08-269 in May 2008, detailing the County's opposition to the Delta Vision Blue Ribbon Task Force Recommendations for the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Recommendations include the development of a peripheral canal and/or an isolated water conveyance facility. Furthermore, the Board of Supervisors soon followed with the adoption of Resolution R-08-363 in June 2008, which outlines the County's coalition with the Counties of Contra Costa, Sacramento, Solano, and Yolo to convey mutual interests surrounding the management of the Sacramento-San Joaquin and greater Bay/Delta Estuary.
