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 policy direction and oversight
for the process.
    One area of Bay-Delta management includes the establishment of a
joint State-Federal process to develop long-term solutions to problems
in the Bay-Delta 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 of the
resource problems. This effort, the CALFED Bay-Delta Program (Program),
is being carried out under the direction of the CALFED Policy Group.
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. The CALFED Policy Group
provides general policy direction on all aspect of the CALFED Program.

    Dated: January 4, 2000.
Kirk C. Rodgers,
Deputy Regional Director.
