"These are probably not words the BDCP Steering Committee ever wanted to have to use.
But they came up time and again when the Delta Stewardship Council (DSC) met last week.
The DSC got an update on the BDCP and considered how to incorporate BDCP material into the Delta Plan – or not.
Chair Phil Isenberg noted that the BDCP will not be completed in time to include it in the Delta Plan. To meet the statutory mandate, the Delta Plan has to go forward with improved conveyance and ecosystem restoration, with or without BDCP. He asked outside consultant ARCADIS and the DSC staff to tell the Council what parts of BDCP are useful and reasonably ready to use.
The BDCP's goal for water supply has been to restore it to what contractors used to get. Councilmember Patrick Johnston noted that the DSC will not be able to describe its goal that way."
