I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Jun Bato’s 5-year-old son is one of many children you’ll spot on the trails of Carnegie SVRA. (KQED/Rachael Myrow)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>We’ve heard a lot over the last couple of years about all the money troubles the California state parks have been having—but not all state parks are starved for cash. Eight “off-highway vehicle parks” get a steady stream of gas-tax funds guaranteed by state law. These parks are a different breed from the rest. They’re even run by a separate division within the Department of Parks and Recreation. And in many ways, off-roaders struggle with Californians who have a very different idea of what a park should be. Take, for example, the story of \u003ca href=\"http://ohv.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=1172\">Carnegie State Vehicular Recreation Area\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About an hour’s drive east of San Francisco, Carnegie draws motorcyclists from all over the western United States to tear up and down its hills. The challenge is pretty obvious—climb about 500 feet in a matter of seconds without losing control of your vehicle. It looks exhilarating—and terrifying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>An Outlet for Kids\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hamid Majidy of Piedmont loves to come here. He rides a Honda CR 250 dirt bike, and he notes many of the biggest names in the sport have come to Carnegie, too, including California-grown greats like Modesto’s Kenny Roberts and Berkeley’s Brad Lackey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many parents who frequent Carnegie, Majidy says the promise of a weekend on dirt bikes is an excellent way to encourage kids (especially boys) to behave at home. “Even though we don’t come out here very often,” Majidy says, “it just motivates them to have something to look forward to other than, you know, playing video games and watching TV all the time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the Diablo Range park is most accessible to motorcycles, other four-wheelers such as sand rails, razors and military jeeps also ply Carnegie’s territory. The state purchased this stretch of 1,300 acres from a private operator in 1979. In the years since, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.parks.ca.gov/\">Department of Parks and Recreation\u003c/a> bought another 3,400 acres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Clash Over Environmental Reports\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that property is still off-limits to off-roaders because the state didn’t do an environmental impact report first. Pre-purchase EIRs weren’t standard practice in the past. But then, most state parks involve a few hiking trails and a parking lot. Local environmentalists argue the need for an EIR at Carnegie should have been obvious from the get-go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those environmentalists is Celeste Garamendi, the sister of \u003ca href=\"http://garamendi.house.gov/\">Rep. John Garamendi.\u003c/a> (She’s quick to say he’s not involved in this conflict).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Off-road riding damages the land, she says: “It erodes the hillsides. It destroys vegetation. It pollutes the water.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Garamendi married into a local ranching family with big holdings near both Carnegie tracts. She said state parks officials should lay off their expansion plans—and do a better job of caring for what properties it runs now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where some might see an endless range of undifferentiated rolling hills, Garamendi sees a delicate ecosystem deserving more respect than it gets. “When I first came here [in 1990], I certainly didn’t have an appreciation for what this is,” she says. “Over the years, I’ve come to understand how very special this is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“High ridge tops, cascading canyons, a wonderful riparian Corral Hollow creek, variation in vegetation from savannah grasslands to blue oak woodlands, chaparral, sage, pine forests: all of this is contained within Tesla Park,” she continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.teslapark.org/\">Tesla Park\u003c/a>? There is no Tesla Park, yet. But Garamendi wants to establish one on the very land the state bought to expand the Carnegie SVRA. (Why name it Tesla, you ask? The area is the former site of \u003ca href=\"http://www.teslapark.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/TeslaHistory.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an industrial town named Tesla\u003c/a>, once the site of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.teslacoalmines.org/Tesla.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most productive coal mine in California\u003c/a>. There’s no connection between the proposed park and with Fremont’s Tesla Motors–except for the fact the Teslas are named for the Serbian-American inventor and alternating-current pioneer \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nikola Tesla\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marilyn Russell, an avid horse rider who taught biology at Livermore High for 33 years, would also like to see a park here. Russell says the hills are home to all kinds of critters, from spadefoot toads and whipsnakes to red-tailed hawks and golden eagles. She adds, with a wink in her eye, “It would be wonderful to connect trails from Yosemite to Mount Diablo and beyond. You know, that’s a vision I have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not just a question of love for the flora and fauna. Backers of Tesla Park also argue more attention should be paid to the region’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.teslapark.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/TeslaHistory.pdf\">history\u003c/a>. In Carnegie, a now-defunct mining site has been cordoned off to protect it from bikers. (The area has also been left free of signage to protect it from archeological poachers, a common problem in California.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last 13 years, the \u003ca href=\"http://ohv.parks.ca.gov/\">Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation Division\u003c/a> of State Parks has launched and abandoned two EIRs for the Carnegie expansion. The division is working now on a third one, which is the first one to consider the old property as well as the new.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Defining ‘sustainable’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an effort to counter accusations that Carnegie isn’t being run properly, park Superintendent Randy Caldera does a lot of monitoring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every bare piece of dirt in this park has been GPS’ed, and it’s evaluated annually for soil loss. Pictures are taken,” Caldera explains. “These all are required now to meet our resource code. You can have a denuded area, or an area that doesn’t have vegetation. As long as we’re monitoring it and identifying that, it’s sustainable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, just to be clear, “sustainable” doesn’t mean sustainable for flora and fauna, so much as it means the soil isn’t eroding down the hillside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_93929\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/04/11/state-plan-to-expand-carnegie-state-park-struggles-to-gain-traction/carnegiegrooves/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-93929\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-93929\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/04/CarnegieGrooves-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"What the grooves look like.

But the hills outside the park also show evidence of human interference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diana Mead of Concord comes here on a regular basis with her family, including her 18-year-old son, Logan, who’s become a top competitor on the hill-climb circuit. She’s also an organizer with CORVA, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.corva.org/\">California Off Road Vehicle Association\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Impacts on the Landscape\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She points out that ranchers have remade the local landscape. With the naked eye, you can see how nibbling grazers in the area have worn ridges of their own into the hills, (albeit soft horizontal ones that grass grows over quickly). Those small clutches of oak trees surrounded by green in winter, yellow in summer? That’s a new vista, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The wide open vistas are not indigenous to this area,” Mead says. “They’re that way because of the cattle. It’s beautiful, but let’s understand: There’s all kinds of human activity that impacts our environment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/news/openspaces/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-111261\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-111261\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/hdpublicplaces-mod.jpg\" alt=\"hdpublicplaces-mod\" width=\"200\" height=\"46\">\u003c/a>Yes, she acknowledges, motorbike trails tear up the hillsides and some of her fellow Californians might find that “abhorrent. I understand that when you see that trail, that that viscerally bothers you in the pit of your stomach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she pointed out that ranching carries a cost, too. “I find what cattle do to our water systems to be abhorrent,” she said. “But I’m not a vegetarian, so I kind of understand we need to manage this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mead argues off-roaders are trying to operate inside the boundary lines set by the law, the \u003ca href=\"http://ca.regstoday.com/law/prc/ca.regstoday.com/laws/prc/calaw-prc_DIVISION5_CHAPTER1p25.aspx\">Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Act of 1988\u003c/a>. Garamendi counters the law needs to be reassessed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the coming months, there will be a series of public meetings over Carnegie’s environmental impact report and \u003ca href=\"http://carnegiegeneralplan.com/\">general plan\u003c/a>. The process is expected to wrap up by the end of the year—but that just means the state parks’ Off-Highway Division will then be free to start the approval process with the general parks leadership, the state Finance Department and state lawmakers. That could take another three to four years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hear the story as it sounded on The California Report:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Funds for coverage of California state parks are provided by the S.

State officials say they'll decide later. (Photo: Lauren Sommer/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This month, new details have emerged about Gov. Jerry Brown’s $23 billion plan to build new plumbing in the \u003ca href=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/video/what-is-california%E2%80%99s-delta/\">Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta\u003c/a>. It could be the state’s largest water project in a generation, consisting of two massive, 40-foot-wide tunnels and thousands of acres of habitat restoration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, state water officials will release new studies with environmental details that could determine its fate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The analysis is part of a massive document that spells out Brown's Delta plan. Known as the \u003ca href=\"http://baydeltaconservationplan.com/Home.aspx\">Bay Delta Conservation Plan\u003c/a> (BDCP), it is being released in parts during March and April. The sections released Wednesday outline the Brown administration's predictions about how salmon, smelt and other endangered fish and wildlife in the Delta would be affected if the two massive tunnels are built.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new infrastructure is needed, state officials say, because in the current system, water pumping must be slowed down to protect the Delta's wildlife, affecting the water supply for millions of Californians from the Bay Area to San Diego and for millions of acres of Central Valley farmland, based on the impact on endangered fish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A year ago, the administration’s first draft of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan was in trouble, after it showed the tunnels might harm populations of fish. “It did not get a good reception,” said Leo Winternitz of the Nature Conservancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal and state wildlife agencies \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2012/07/23/water-wars-set-to-reignite-as-governor-moves-ahead-with-massive-water-plan/\">pointed to harmful impacts\u003c/a> the project would have on endangered Chinook salmon and Delta smelt. Those agencies – \u003ca href=\"http://www.dfg.ca.gov/\">California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fws.gov/\">US Fish and Wildlife Service\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"National%20Marine%20Fisheries%20Service\">National Marine Fisheries Service\u003c/a> – are responsible for permitting the plan. In a document known as the “\u003ca href=\"http://baydeltaconservationplan.com/Files/Effects_Analysis_-_Fish_Agency_Red_Flag_Comments_and_Responses_4-25-12.pdf\">Red Flag Comments\u003c/a>,” they spelled out the problems that could have led to a veto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unless the Brown administration can show that the tunnels would help restore the crashing fish populations, the project is very likely doomed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to be able to make a finding that the project as a whole is going to contribute to the recovery of the species,” said Carl Wilcox of the Department of Fish and Wildlife at the time. “If the analysis says, well, they’re going to do worse under the plan, we’re not going to be able to permit it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, officials at the Department of Water Resources say they’ve been working hand in hand with wildlife agencies about the concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve got a plan here that we believe will enjoy a lot of consensus from all of the agencies that worked on it,” said Mark Cowin, director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.water.ca.gov/\">Department of Water Resources\u003c/a>, at the release of the first four chapters of the plan in early March. “It was very difficult to come by and frankly we’re pretty proud of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a first step, Gov. Jerry Brown announced last summer that the size of the proposed tunnels would shrink. The 35-mile tunnels would withdraw water at the north end of the Delta and deliver it south, where it feeds into hundreds of miles of canals that carry water to Southern California, the Central Valley and the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“We’ve got a plan here that we believe will enjoy a lot of consensus from all of the agencies that worked on it.\" - Mark Cowin, director of the Department of Water Resources\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The original tunnels had the capacity to carry 10 billion gallons of water over a 24-hour period and had five intake points. The new proposal would have three intakes and could hold close to six billion gallons a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as much as the size of the tunnels has been debated, the amount of water that they’ll carry has been the focus of the environmental community and the water contractors who will pay the construction costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It’s All about Freshwater\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some years, more that 50 percent of the Delta’s water is pumped out before it reaches San Francisco Bay, diverted for use in cities and on farms. Many scientists say this has been a major factor causing the decline of Delta smelt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, federal wildlife agencies put new rules in place to protect the three-inch fish, found only in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Those rules were quickly the topic of a lawsuit from water agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Delta smelt prefer low-salinity water, the mixing zone between freshwater from the rivers and brackish water of San Francisco Bay. \u003ca href=\"http://baydelta.wordpress.com/2011/09/13/opportunity-to-enhance-delta-smelt-science-scrapped-by-wanger-compromise-part-1/\">This zone, known as X2\u003c/a>, shifts back and forth depending on tides, runoff and water diversions. The more freshwater flowing out of the Delta, the farther this zone is pushed toward the bay. Federal scientists specified that in wet years, the low-salinity zone should be closer to Suisun Bay to create as much habitat as possible for young Delta smelt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another imperiled fish, longfin smelt, also depends on freshwater flows in the spring. “There’s a relationship and it’s a long-established relationship between outflow and longfin smelt abundance,” said Carl Wilcox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wildlife agencies pointed out the first BDCP draft didn’t include these freshwater flow protections. In the plan’s own analysis, smelt species either showed no improvement or even showed a decline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Decision Tree\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new proposal now includes freshwater flow requirements in the spring and fall for fish, but they’re part of what’s being called “the decision tree.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials say that 30,000 acres of tidal marsh habitat will be restored before the new tunnels begin operation – an unprecedented amount for the Delta. “30,000 is a big number,” says Winternitz. “But look at it in context. It used to be 700,000 acres of tidal marsh. We’ve lost 90 percent of that, so 30,000 is a drop in the bucket.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That habitat restoration could help Delta smelt and other fish populations come back, something that would be considered in a decade or so as part of the decision tree. If they show substantial improvement, spring and fall flow rules may not be required. If not, they’d be put into place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This postpones the final decision until theoretically we know more about those actions,” said Carl Wilcox, “keeping in mind that for Fall X2, it’s only happened once and there’s an ongoing research program to look at the benefits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials say this will allow them to adaptively manage the ecosystem, while others worry that they’re punting on unpopular decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The current proposal for outflow isn’t necessarily woeful deficient, but it’s very deficient,” said Doug Obegi, staff attorney with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nrdc.org/\">Natural Resources Defense Council\u003c/a>. “On spring outflow, the current proposal looks at everything from things being a lot worse than they are today to some relatively minor improvements. It’s really far below what’s needed to restore native fish populations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don't have any confusion,” said Chuck Bonham, director of the Department of Fish and Wildlife. “Fish need enough water of the right quality at the right time of year, period. And I think this plan reflects that concept. Where there’s still remaining discussion: just precisely how much and when.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision tree will ultimately affect how much water is delivered to users around the state. Early numbers show that between 4.8 million and 5.6 million acre-feet of water would be exported, close the average for the last 20 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The low end of the range would be the status quo and the high end of the range would dramatically higher exports than today,” says Obegi. “So they’re not even contemplating meaningful reductions in exports that would allow for greater flows into San Francisco Bay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state will release the final chapters of the draft plan in April, which will include the estimated costs. Another full public draft will be released in the summer.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Those agencies – \u003ca href=\"http://www.dfg.ca.gov/\">California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife\u003c/a>, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fws.gov/\">US Fish and Wildlife Service\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"National%20Marine%20Fisheries%20Service\">National Marine Fisheries Service\u003c/a> – are responsible for permitting the plan. In a document known as the “\u003ca href=\"http://baydeltaconservationplan.com/Files/Effects_Analysis_-_Fish_Agency_Red_Flag_Comments_and_Responses_4-25-12.pdf\">Red Flag Comments\u003c/a>,” they spelled out the problems that could have led to a veto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unless the Brown administration can show that the tunnels would help restore the crashing fish populations, the project is very likely doomed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to be able to make a finding that the project as a whole is going to contribute to the recovery of the species,” said Carl Wilcox of the Department of Fish and Wildlife at the time. “If the analysis says, well, they’re going to do worse under the plan, we’re not going to be able to permit it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, officials at the Department of Water Resources say they’ve been working hand in hand with wildlife agencies about the concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve got a plan here that we believe will enjoy a lot of consensus from all of the agencies that worked on it,” said Mark Cowin, director of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.water.ca.gov/\">Department of Water Resources\u003c/a>, at the release of the first four chapters of the plan in early March. “It was very difficult to come by and frankly we’re pretty proud of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a first step, Gov. Jerry Brown announced last summer that the size of the proposed tunnels would shrink. The 35-mile tunnels would withdraw water at the north end of the Delta and deliver it south, where it feeds into hundreds of miles of canals that carry water to Southern California, the Central Valley and the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">“We’ve got a plan here that we believe will enjoy a lot of consensus from all of the agencies that worked on it.\" - Mark Cowin, director of the Department of Water Resources\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The original tunnels had the capacity to carry 10 billion gallons of water over a 24-hour period and had five intake points. The new proposal would have three intakes and could hold close to six billion gallons a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as much as the size of the tunnels has been debated, the amount of water that they’ll carry has been the focus of the environmental community and the water contractors who will pay the construction costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It’s All about Freshwater\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some years, more that 50 percent of the Delta’s water is pumped out before it reaches San Francisco Bay, diverted for use in cities and on farms. Many scientists say this has been a major factor causing the decline of Delta smelt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, federal wildlife agencies put new rules in place to protect the three-inch fish, found only in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. Those rules were quickly the topic of a lawsuit from water agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Delta smelt prefer low-salinity water, the mixing zone between freshwater from the rivers and brackish water of San Francisco Bay. \u003ca href=\"http://baydelta.wordpress.com/2011/09/13/opportunity-to-enhance-delta-smelt-science-scrapped-by-wanger-compromise-part-1/\">This zone, known as X2\u003c/a>, shifts back and forth depending on tides, runoff and water diversions. The more freshwater flowing out of the Delta, the farther this zone is pushed toward the bay. Federal scientists specified that in wet years, the low-salinity zone should be closer to Suisun Bay to create as much habitat as possible for young Delta smelt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another imperiled fish, longfin smelt, also depends on freshwater flows in the spring. “There’s a relationship and it’s a long-established relationship between outflow and longfin smelt abundance,” said Carl Wilcox.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wildlife agencies pointed out the first BDCP draft didn’t include these freshwater flow protections. In the plan’s own analysis, smelt species either showed no improvement or even showed a decline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Decision Tree\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new proposal now includes freshwater flow requirements in the spring and fall for fish, but they’re part of what’s being called “the decision tree.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials say that 30,000 acres of tidal marsh habitat will be restored before the new tunnels begin operation – an unprecedented amount for the Delta. “30,000 is a big number,” says Winternitz. “But look at it in context. It used to be 700,000 acres of tidal marsh. We’ve lost 90 percent of that, so 30,000 is a drop in the bucket.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That habitat restoration could help Delta smelt and other fish populations come back, something that would be considered in a decade or so as part of the decision tree. If they show substantial improvement, spring and fall flow rules may not be required. If not, they’d be put into place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This postpones the final decision until theoretically we know more about those actions,” said Carl Wilcox, “keeping in mind that for Fall X2, it’s only happened once and there’s an ongoing research program to look at the benefits.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials say this will allow them to adaptively manage the ecosystem, while others worry that they’re punting on unpopular decisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The current proposal for outflow isn’t necessarily woeful deficient, but it’s very deficient,” said Doug Obegi, staff attorney with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nrdc.org/\">Natural Resources Defense Council\u003c/a>. “On spring outflow, the current proposal looks at everything from things being a lot worse than they are today to some relatively minor improvements. It’s really far below what’s needed to restore native fish populations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don't have any confusion,” said Chuck Bonham, director of the Department of Fish and Wildlife. “Fish need enough water of the right quality at the right time of year, period. And I think this plan reflects that concept. Where there’s still remaining discussion: just precisely how much and when.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision tree will ultimately affect how much water is delivered to users around the state. Early numbers show that between 4.8 million and 5.6 million acre-feet of water would be exported, close the average for the last 20 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The low end of the range would be the status quo and the high end of the range would dramatically higher exports than today,” says Obegi. “So they’re not even contemplating meaningful reductions in exports that would allow for greater flows into San Francisco Bay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
