CSPA, Coalition Issue Comments on BDCP Scoping Process

On 10 September 2014, CSPA, Friends of the River, the Environmental Water Caucus and California Water Impact Network sent a letter regarding the scoping process for recirculated Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) documents. BDCP announced that it would shortly announce the scope of documents to be recirculated in the near future. The Coalition pointed out that a new or subsequent BDCP EIR/EIS – not just a supplement – will be required by NEPA, CEQA, the Endangered Species Act, NCCP Planning Act and Delta Reform Act because of the necessity of making more than minor additions or changes. Consequently, BDCP must begin a new scoping process.
