SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The San

Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin

Delta Estuary (Bay-Delta system) is a

critically important part of California’s

natural environment and economy. In

recognition of the serious problems

facing the region and the complex

resource management decisions that

must be made, the State of California

and the Federal government are working

together to stabilize, protect, restore,

and enhance the Bay-Delta system. The

State and Federal agencies with

management and regulatory

responsibilities in the Bay-Delta system

are working together as CALFED to

provide direction and oversight for the

process.

One area of Bay-Delta management

includes the establishment of a joint

State-Federal process to develop longterm solutions to problems in the BayDelta system related to fish and wildlife,

water supply reliability, natural

disasters, and water quality. The intent

is to develop a comprehensive and

balanced plan that addresses all of the

resource problems. This effort, the

CALFED Bay-Delta Program (Program),

is being carried out under the policy

direction of CALFED. The Program is

exploring and developing a long-term

solution for a cooperative planning

process that will determine the most

appropriate strategy and actions

necessary to improve water quality,

restore health to the Bay-Delta

ecosystem, provide for a variety of

beneficial uses, and minimize Bay-Delta

system vulnerability. A group of citizen

advisors representing California’s

agricultural, environmental, urban,

business, fishing, and other interests

who have a stake in finding long-term

solutions for the problems affecting the

Bay-Delta system has been chartered

under the Federal Advisory Committee

Act (FACA). The BDAC provides advice

CALFED on the program mission,

problems to be addressed, and

objectives for the Program. BDAC

provides a forum to help ensure public

participation, and will review reports

and other materials prepared by

CALFED staff. BDAC has established a

subcommittee called the Ecosystem

Roundtable to provide input on annual

workplans to implement ecosystem

restoration projects and programs.

Minutes of the meeting will be

maintained by the Program, Suite 1155,

1416 Ninth Street, Sacramento, CA

95814, and will be available for public

inspection during regular business

hours, Monday through Friday within

30 days following the meeting.
