DELTA FLOW CRITERIA
Final Report on Development of Flow Criteria for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Ecosystem
Water Code section 85086 requires the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board or Board) to develop, within nine months of enactment of the requirement, new flow criteria to protect public trust resources for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta (Delta) ecosystem. The statute further requires the State Water Board to submit its flow criteria determinations to the Delta Stewardship Council within 30 days of their development. In accordance with Water Code section 85086, the State Water Board conducted a public process in the form of an informational proceeding, held on March 22-24, 2010, to develop the flow criteria. The State Water Board released a draft Report on Development of Flow Criteria for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Ecosystem on July 21, 2010, for public review and comment. On August 3, 2010, the State Water Board adopted Resolution 2010-0039 approving the final report determining new flow criteria for the Delta ecosystem necessary to protect public trust resources. On August 25, 2010 the Executive Director of the State Water Board submitted the final report to the Delta Stewardship Council.
