CSPA, Coalition Submit Comments on BDCP Reasonable Range of Alternatives

On 4 September 2014, CSPA, Friends of the River, the Environmental Water Caucus and California Water Impact Network sent a letter regarding consideration of a reasonable range of alternative in any recirculated draft Plan, EIR/EIS and Implementing Agreement for the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP). In response to thousands of highly critical comments, BDCP announced that it would go back to the drawing boards and revise and recirculate new documents. The Coalition pointed out that both the California Environmental Quality Act and National Environmental Policy Act require consideration of a reasonable range of alternatives and urged BDCP to incorporate the Coalition’s Responsible Exports Plan in any subsequent evaluation.
