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 they 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 policy 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 which addresses all the

resource problems. This effort, the

CALFED Bay-Delta Program (Program),

is being carried out under the policy

direction of CALFED. The CALFED BayDelta 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) as the Bay-Delta Advisory

Council (BDAC) to advise CALFED on

the program mission, problems to be

addressed, and objectives for the

CALFED Bay-Delta Program. BDAC

provides a forum to help ensure public

participation, and will review reports

and other materials prepared by

CALFED staff.

Minutes of the meeting will be

maintained by the CALFED Bay-Delta

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.
