"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. 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.",

Parks director Ruth Coleman resigned as a result of the scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 1589, by Assemblymember Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael), requires that the Department of Parks & Recreation develop an “action plan” for generating revenue, as well as for collecting unpaid user fees at state parks. A lot of people are anticipating, to offer one example, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.dmv.ca.gov/online/elp/elp.htm\">special-interest license plate\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 1589 also allows taxpayers to redirect portions of their tax refunds to the California State Parks Protection Fund in exchange for an annual state park day-use access pass. \u003c!--more-->AB 1478, by Bob Bloomenfield (D-Woodland Hills) appropriates $10 million from the fund for park maintenance projects and $10 million as matching funds for private grants for parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 1478 is the more interesting bill for Bob Patrie of the Coe Park Preservation Fund. You may recall that organization wrangled a whopping $1 million of private money to keep their beloved local park open another three years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\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>“AB1478 directly impacts our relationship with the DPR,” Patrie writes. He notes that half of the unreported $20.5 million in the State Parks and Recreation Fund will go towards the $1 billion deferred maintenance backlog, “rather than being entirely spent on keeping the threatened 70 parks open – a bad idea. The smell of money in the water.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late July, the Fund and its sister non-profit, the \u003ca href=\"http://coepark.net/pineridgeassociation/support-coe/pra\">Pine Ridge Association\u003c/a>, issued a \u003ca href=\"http://coepark.net/pineridgeassociation/documents/Summer_2012.pdf\">press release\u003c/a> that more-or-less demanded the state not use the “found” money for purposes other than state parks…a temptation in these budget-strapped times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no doubt, that many of these funds were collected by the DPR from California citizens visiting and enjoying our beautiful state parks,” writes Daniel McCranie, CPPF treasurer and board member (and also the guy who wrote the biggest check to keep Coe open.) “It is both logical and morally correct that these discovered funds be allocated to the department from which they were collected – the California State Parks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_75071\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/09/1-IMG_1585.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-75071\" title=\"1-IMG_1585\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/09/1-IMG_1585-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">It takes a team to keep a state park like Henry Coe open. Ranger Cameron Bowers and non-profit advocate Bob Patrie (Credit: KQED/Rachael Myrow)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>AB 1478 also prohibits the Department of Parks and Recreation from closing or even proposing the closure of a state park until mid-2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For over a year, we were told that there was no alternative [to park closures],” Blumenfield writes KQED. “We were told park closures were a necessary sacrifice as the state faces tough budget challenges. Californians responded by rallying to raise funds to keep them open. This inspiring accomplishment cannot be soiled by the isolated acts of rogue bureaucrats who concealed over $50 million.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About that figure…could be more, could be less. Over the weekend, the Sacramento Bee’s \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/matt_weiser\">Matthew Weiser\u003c/a> wrote that the figure most everybody is bandying about ($54 million) … \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/2012/09/02/4780548/numbers-on-hidden-funds-in-california.html\">may not be so correct\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About $20 million was in the State Parks and Recreation Fund, as previously mentioned; the rest in “a dedicated pot of money known as the Off Highway Vehicle Trust Fund.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, Finance Department chief deputy director Michael Cohen says his agency is no longer sure how much money was hidden in the OHV fund, and that answer will have to wait on three separate investigations by the attorney general, the state auditor and the Legislature. Those could take the rest of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The OHV fund serves the state’s eight parks dedicated to off-roaders, among other things. The OHV fund has routinely maintained a large balance. Parks officials have said this was to keep money in reserve to acquire land for new off-roading parks. “Yet the department has not opened a new off-roading park in 15 years,” Reiser notes dryly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Off-roading groups are understandably bitter about this state of affairs – not to mention the $34 million – if that’s what it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is that all?” asks John Stewart, a consultant for the California Association of Four Wheel Drive Clubs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Governor’s office hasn’t taken a position yet on either bill, or indicated whether he plans to sign one or both, sometime in September.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Parks director Ruth Coleman resigned as a result of the scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 1589, by Assemblymember Jared Huffman (D-San Rafael), requires that the Department of Parks & Recreation develop an “action plan” for generating revenue, as well as for collecting unpaid user fees at state parks. A lot of people are anticipating, to offer one example, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.dmv.ca.gov/online/elp/elp.htm\">special-interest license plate\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 1589 also allows taxpayers to redirect portions of their tax refunds to the California State Parks Protection Fund in exchange for an annual state park day-use access pass. \u003c!--more-->AB 1478, by Bob Bloomenfield (D-Woodland Hills) appropriates $10 million from the fund for park maintenance projects and $10 million as matching funds for private grants for parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB 1478 is the more interesting bill for Bob Patrie of the Coe Park Preservation Fund.

He notes that half of the unreported $20.5 million in the State Parks and Recreation Fund will go towards the $1 billion deferred maintenance backlog, “rather than being entirely spent on keeping the threatened 70 parks open – a bad idea. The smell of money in the water.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late July, the Fund and its sister non-profit, the \u003ca href=\"http://coepark.net/pineridgeassociation/support-coe/pra\">Pine Ridge Association\u003c/a>, issued a \u003ca href=\"http://coepark.net/pineridgeassociation/documents/Summer_2012.pdf\">press release\u003c/a> that more-or-less demanded the state not use the “found” money for purposes other than state parks…a temptation in these budget-strapped times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no doubt, that many of these funds were collected by the DPR from California citizens visiting and enjoying our beautiful state parks,” writes Daniel McCranie, CPPF treasurer and board member (and also the guy who wrote the biggest check to keep Coe open.) “It is both logical and morally correct that these discovered funds be allocated to the department from which they were collected – the California State Parks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_75071\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/09/1-IMG_1585.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-75071\" title=\"1-IMG_1585\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/09/1-IMG_1585-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">It takes a team to keep a state park like Henry Coe open.

Californians responded by rallying to raise funds to keep them open. This inspiring accomplishment cannot be soiled by the isolated acts of rogue bureaucrats who concealed over $50 million.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About that figure…could be more, could be less. Over the weekend, the Sacramento Bee’s \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/matt_weiser\">Matthew Weiser\u003c/a> wrote that the figure most everybody is bandying about ($54 million) … \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/2012/09/02/4780548/numbers-on-hidden-funds-in-california.html\">may not be so correct\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About $20 million was in the State Parks and Recreation Fund, as previously mentioned; the rest in “a dedicated pot of money known as the Off Highway Vehicle Trust Fund.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, Finance Department chief deputy director Michael Cohen says his agency is no longer sure how much money was hidden in the OHV fund, and that answer will have to wait on three separate investigations by the attorney general, the state auditor and the Legislature. Those could take the rest of the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The OHV fund serves the state’s eight parks dedicated to off-roaders, among other things. The OHV fund has routinely maintained a large balance. Parks officials have said this was to keep money in reserve to acquire land for new off-roading parks. “Yet the department has not opened a new off-roading park in 15 years,” Reiser notes dryly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Off-roading groups are understandably bitter about this state of affairs – not to mention the $34 million – if that’s what it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is that all?” asks John Stewart, a consultant for the California Association of Four Wheel Drive Clubs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Governor’s office hasn’t taken a position yet on either bill, or indicated whether he plans to sign one or both, sometime in September.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The office of the Mayor of Virginia Beach confirmed to FOX40 a basketball team is moving to their coastal city. While the mayor’s office could not confirm which team is moving, a source within the administration has told local outlets it is the Sacramento Kings.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The stories originated with a \u003ca href=\"http://insidebiz.com/news/sources-sacramento-kings-may-move-virginia-beach-arena-deal-works\">report on Virginia's Inside Business site\u003c/a>, which relied almost entirely on anonymous sources but got detailed enough about ostensible plans to imbue it with a certain ring of truth:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Media giant Comcast will guarantee a 25-year lease on a new arena, supposedly for naming rights and for broadcasting the games, sources said...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City officials and the Maloof family are expected to announce Wednesday that the Kings will land in Virginia Beach, sources said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Virginia Beach-based Meridian Group, a marketing communications firm, is expected to handle the public relations for the announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To finance the arena, the Virginia Beach Hotel-Motel Association has indicated it would support a $1 hike in the lodging tax, sources said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, the Atlantic Coast Conference has agreed to place Virginia Beach on its list as a future venue for college ACC conference tournaments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A well-known concert promoter – Live Nation – is associated with the deal for the new arena and the team’s relocation to Virginia Beach, sources say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new arena will be built across from the Virginia Beach Convention Center, adjacent to the former Norfolk Southern Corp. rail track and a proposed site for a light rail station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Comcast, Live Nation and Global Spectrum have come to the city,” Virginia Beach Mayor Will Sessoms said. “They would guarantee us a professional sports team\" if the deal goes through.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost immediately, some began questioning the story.

One blogger debunked the details published in the original Inside Business story:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>None of this makes any sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. Virginia Beach may be the biggest city in Virginia, but it's smaller than Sacramento and a much smaller media market. The Hampton Roads area has approximately 1.6 million people, about half of the Sacramento metropolitan area. Sacramento is also the 19th largest media market in the country, while the Norfolk area is 42nd. (Source)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. The Maloofs don't have any money to build a new hotel. They might say they do, but actions speak louder than words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. The article says the Maloofs own the Palm Hotels. This is false, as they lost most of their stake and now just own 2%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. The Maloofs would not announce a move 2 months prior to the season starting, particularly to a city where no arena has been built. Ticket sales would absolutely plummet, boycotts would start, etc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. David Stern very recently said that if the Kings wanted to move to Anaheim, they would not be allowed to. That's in one of the biggest media markets in the country, and one with an arena already built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. The likely costs of relocation would cost more than the city of Sacramento asked from the Maloofs to build a new arena in Sacramento, which they shot down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. About a billion different things need to happen before a team can move. The team must apply to relocate, the Board of Governors needs to approve, a new arena needs to be built, numerous contracts need to be signed. None of this has happened yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I could go on, but I don't think I'm going to get super upset over this likely false report. I sincerely doubt that Virginia Beach poses any threat to the future of the Sacramento Kings. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sactownroyalty.com/2012/8/23/3263018/new-report-kings-may-move-to-virginia-beach\">Full post\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So what do the Kings have to say about all this?

We are not going to discuss which cities have approached the team and are not going to comment on every rumor. I can tell you that the Kings are 100 percent focused on putting a winning team on the court,” said Rose in an email to CBS13.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rose also denied the Maloofs will be at a news conference in Virginia Beach next week.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sacramento Bee is now on the case, and \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sacbee.com/breaking_news/2012/08/056999.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter#mi_rss=Latest%20News\">this report\u003c/a> would only seem to add to the mystery. The headline: \"Many Virginia Beach leaders just learning about NBA team\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Political leaders in Virginia Beach either declined comment or said they had learned of the possibilty of the Kings moving from reporters and from a press conference the mayor called today to announce that Comcast would present a proposal next week to bring a professional team to town, but that no specific team was named.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Terry Kelley, vice president of the Meridian Group, which reportedly will handle public relations for the plan, said in a phone message that he could only confirm there will be a press conference next Tuesday after the Virginia Beach council meets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As far as the Sacramento Kings, I'm not privy to any of those discussions,\" Kelley added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comcast Spectacor spokesman Ike Richman issued a statement saying that his firm and Live Nation \"are always looking for new opportunities to expand our business in the area,\" but declined to provide specifics about what is planned for next week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We will refrain from making any comments until we are in Virginia Beach on Tuesday,\" he wrote. \"At our presentation on Tuesday we will elaborate our collective plans for a new arena.

While the mayor’s office could not confirm which team is moving, a source within the administration has told local outlets it is the Sacramento Kings.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The stories originated with a \u003ca href=\"http://insidebiz.com/news/sources-sacramento-kings-may-move-virginia-beach-arena-deal-works\">report on Virginia's Inside Business site\u003c/a>, which relied almost entirely on anonymous sources but got detailed enough about ostensible plans to imbue it with a certain ring of truth:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Media giant Comcast will guarantee a 25-year lease on a new arena, supposedly for naming rights and for broadcasting the games, sources said...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City officials and the Maloof family are expected to announce Wednesday that the Kings will land in Virginia Beach, sources said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Virginia Beach-based Meridian Group, a marketing communications firm, is expected to handle the public relations for the announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To finance the arena, the Virginia Beach Hotel-Motel Association has indicated it would support a $1 hike in the lodging tax, sources said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, the Atlantic Coast Conference has agreed to place Virginia Beach on its list as a future venue for college ACC conference tournaments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A well-known concert promoter – Live Nation – is associated with the deal for the new arena and the team’s relocation to Virginia Beach, sources say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new arena will be built across from the Virginia Beach Convention Center, adjacent to the former Norfolk Southern Corp. rail track and a proposed site for a light rail station.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Comcast, Live Nation and Global Spectrum have come to the city,” Virginia Beach Mayor Will Sessoms said. “They would guarantee us a professional sports team\" if the deal goes through.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

One blogger debunked the details published in the original Inside Business story:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>None of this makes any sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. Virginia Beach may be the biggest city in Virginia, but it's smaller than Sacramento and a much smaller media market. The Hampton Roads area has approximately 1.6 million people, about half of the Sacramento metropolitan area. Sacramento is also the 19th largest media market in the country, while the Norfolk area is 42nd. (Source)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. The Maloofs don't have any money to build a new hotel. They might say they do, but actions speak louder than words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. The article says the Maloofs own the Palm Hotels. This is false, as they lost most of their stake and now just own 2%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. The Maloofs would not announce a move 2 months prior to the season starting, particularly to a city where no arena has been built. Ticket sales would absolutely plummet, boycotts would start, etc.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. David Stern very recently said that if the Kings wanted to move to Anaheim, they would not be allowed to. That's in one of the biggest media markets in the country, and one with an arena already built.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. The likely costs of relocation would cost more than the city of Sacramento asked from the Maloofs to build a new arena in Sacramento, which they shot down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. About a billion different things need to happen before a team can move. The team must apply to relocate, the Board of Governors needs to approve, a new arena needs to be built, numerous contracts need to be signed. None of this has happened yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I could go on, but I don't think I'm going to get super upset over this likely false report. I sincerely doubt that Virginia Beach poses any threat to the future of the Sacramento Kings. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sactownroyalty.com/2012/8/23/3263018/new-report-kings-may-move-to-virginia-beach\">Full post\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>So what do the Kings have to say about all this?

We are not going to discuss which cities have approached the team and are not going to comment on every rumor. I can tell you that the Kings are 100 percent focused on putting a winning team on the court,” said Rose in an email to CBS13.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rose also denied the Maloofs will be at a news conference in Virginia Beach next week.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sacramento Bee is now on the case, and \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.sacbee.com/breaking_news/2012/08/056999.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter#mi_rss=Latest%20News\">this report\u003c/a> would only seem to add to the mystery.

(Photo: USFWS/Peter Johnsen)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Water battles in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta have been fought over a basic question: as the state’s thirsty cities and farms demand more Delta water, is there enough left for endangered fish like the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_smelt\">Delta smelt\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://ecos.fws.gov/speciesProfile/profile/speciesProfile.action?spcode=E06D\">chinook salmon\u003c/a>?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a report released today from \u003ca href=\"http://www.bay.org/\">the Bay Institute\u003c/a>, environmentalists argue that the damage being done to the Delta ecosystem from removing water isn't fully being measured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two-thirds of Californians get their water from the Delta, the inland complex of islands and channels where the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers come together, carrying runoff from tributaries and the Sierra Nevada snowpack. Two huge plants in the southern Delta can pump out tens of thousand of gallons of water per second, sending most of it to San Joaquin Valley farms and Southern California cities.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The water heading to the pumps contains fish. To prevent the fish from being ground up by the pumps, the water flows through \u003ca href=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/2008/07/07/a-fishy-odyssey-through-the-delta/\" target=\"_blank\">special screening facilities\u003c/a>, the Skinner Fish Facility and the Tracy Fish Facility. As many as 15 million fish per year are “salvaged” or captured at these screens. The fish are then loaded into trucks and released elsewhere in the Delta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem, says Jon Rosenfield, a biologist with the Bay Institute, is that freshwater also contains smaller organisms. “The salvage facilities don’t count fish eggs or really small larval fish,” he says. “You can’t remove between 50 and 70 percent of the water in a system and not take out a very large fraction of the food that’s in that water.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report authors argue that removing organisms at the bottom of the food chain has a huge impact. “We have an ecosystem that’s in a free fall and we’re making the situation worse by exporting the fish food,” says Rosenfield.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosenfield also points to the fish that get eaten before they get to the salvage facility. “Before they get to the screens, there are whole bunch of predators,” he says. “The actual numbers of fish and fish food that are getting removed from the system are from 4 to 10 times higher than the number of fish that get counted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether or not Delta smelt and other fish survive the salvage process is another big question. “Very few fish are able to tolerate that much handling and transport in a truck,” says Rosenfield. Researchers \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:WDgfNq9rspkJ:www.waterboards.ca.gov/waterrights/water_issues/programs/bay_delta/deltaflow/docs/exhibits/sfwc/spprt_docs/sfwc_exh3_kimmerer_losses_of_sacramento.pdf+&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESi5v45lDO9doWc-iWQQ844o0EEWsWzRAesvn096XxWgNc-pnXZ6pe21BNlsXrYqgIwooTQoO8B6MkYEh_e8eJfve9oYdqLf92k3OjXMM39lgX7vqvRO_-6EBRFbnqel22BOtj2f&sig=AHIEtbQlj_dtI3ZzSdjNiTQJ_LGm73GJeg\">have attempted to measure\u003c/a> how many fish are killed in the process and operators at the pumping facilities are currently looking at ways improve the survival rate of the fish that are caught. Thanks to extremely wet weather last year, \u003ca href=\"http://cdfgnews.wordpress.com/2011/12/22/endangered-delta-smelt-population-improves-2/\">the Delta smelt population rebounded \u003c/a>slightly after a decade of decline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some water agencies claim that pumping freshwater isn’t to blame for the decline of endangered species. \"We've focused on the pumps excessively. We’ve ignored the issues of toxics and predators and other things,\" says Jason Peltier of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.westlandswater.org/wwd/default2.asp?cwide=1280\">Westlands Water District\u003c/a>, a largely agricultural district that relies on Delta water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The main driving factor for fish decline is lack of food in the system, driven by Asian clams in the western Delta that are filter feeders. That’s taking a lot of the food chain. In addition, maybe the discharge of ammonia from wastewater treatment plants has disrupted the lower end of the food chain,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The science of endangered species recovery is back in the spotlight this year, as the state writes two plans for the future of the Delta, the \u003ca href=\"http://deltacouncil.ca.gov/delta-plan\">Delta Plan\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://baydeltaconservationplan.com/Home.aspx\">Bay Delta Conservation Plan\u003c/a>. “This is the most critical period in two decades. California is coming to grips with the fact that its water supply system is unsustainable,” says Rosenfield.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the plans includes a proposal for new water pumping infrastructure. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/2012/02/29/4301413/delta-water-tunnel-analysis-released.html\">A massive, multi-billion dollar tunnel\u003c/a> would route water through Delta, making the southern pumps unnecessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosenfield says he’s not against it in principal, but says it will only work “if it’s designed right and if it’s limited in the amount of water that it diverts from the Delta. It’s not really going to solve the problem unless enough water is left in the Delta.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

(Photo: USFWS/Peter Johnsen)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Water battles in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta have been fought over a basic question: as the state’s thirsty cities and farms demand more Delta water, is there enough left for endangered fish like the \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_smelt\">Delta smelt\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://ecos.fws.gov/speciesProfile/profile/speciesProfile.action?spcode=E06D\">chinook salmon\u003c/a>?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a report released today from \u003ca href=\"http://www.bay.org/\">the Bay Institute\u003c/a>, environmentalists argue that the damage being done to the Delta ecosystem from removing water isn't fully being measured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two-thirds of Californians get their water from the Delta, the inland complex of islands and channels where the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers come together, carrying runoff from tributaries and the Sierra Nevada snowpack. Two huge plants in the southern Delta can pump out tens of thousand of gallons of water per second, sending most of it to San Joaquin Valley farms and Southern California cities.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The water heading to the pumps contains fish. To prevent the fish from being ground up by the pumps, the water flows through \u003ca href=\"http://science.kqed.org/quest/2008/07/07/a-fishy-odyssey-through-the-delta/\" target=\"_blank\">special screening facilities\u003c/a>, the Skinner Fish Facility and the Tracy Fish Facility. As many as 15 million fish per year are “salvaged” or captured at these screens. The fish are then loaded into trucks and released elsewhere in the Delta.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem, says Jon Rosenfield, a biologist with the Bay Institute, is that freshwater also contains smaller organisms. “The salvage facilities don’t count fish eggs or really small larval fish,” he says. “You can’t remove between 50 and 70 percent of the water in a system and not take out a very large fraction of the food that’s in that water.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Researchers \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:WDgfNq9rspkJ:www.waterboards.ca.gov/waterrights/water_issues/programs/bay_delta/deltaflow/docs/exhibits/sfwc/spprt_docs/sfwc_exh3_kimmerer_losses_of_sacramento.pdf+&hl=en&gl=us&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESi5v45lDO9doWc-iWQQ844o0EEWsWzRAesvn096XxWgNc-pnXZ6pe21BNlsXrYqgIwooTQoO8B6MkYEh_e8eJfve9oYdqLf92k3OjXMM39lgX7vqvRO_-6EBRFbnqel22BOtj2f&sig=AHIEtbQlj_dtI3ZzSdjNiTQJ_LGm73GJeg\">have attempted to measure\u003c/a> how many fish are killed in the process and operators at the pumping facilities are currently looking at ways improve the survival rate of the fish that are caught. Thanks to extremely wet weather last year, \u003ca href=\"http://cdfgnews.wordpress.com/2011/12/22/endangered-delta-smelt-population-improves-2/\">the Delta smelt population rebounded \u003c/a>slightly after a decade of decline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some water agencies claim that pumping freshwater isn’t to blame for the decline of endangered species. \"We've focused on the pumps excessively. We’ve ignored the issues of toxics and predators and other things,\" says Jason Peltier of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.westlandswater.org/wwd/default2.asp?cwide=1280\">Westlands Water District\u003c/a>, a largely agricultural district that relies on Delta water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The main driving factor for fish decline is lack of food in the system, driven by Asian clams in the western Delta that are filter feeders. That’s taking a lot of the food chain. In addition, maybe the discharge of ammonia from wastewater treatment plants has disrupted the lower end of the food chain,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The science of endangered species recovery is back in the spotlight this year, as the state writes two plans for the future of the Delta, the \u003ca href=\"http://deltacouncil.ca.gov/delta-plan\">Delta Plan\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://baydeltaconservationplan.com/Home.aspx\">Bay Delta Conservation Plan\u003c/a>. “This is the most critical period in two decades. California is coming to grips with the fact that its water supply system is unsustainable,” says Rosenfield.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the plans includes a proposal for new water pumping infrastructure. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/2012/02/29/4301413/delta-water-tunnel-analysis-released.html\">A massive, multi-billion dollar tunnel\u003c/a> would route water through Delta, making the southern pumps unnecessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosenfield says he’s not against it in principal, but says it will only work “if it’s designed right and if it’s limited in the amount of water that it diverts from the Delta. It’s not really going to solve the problem unless enough water is left in the Delta.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
