In response to an April 1, 2011 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, the Bay-Delta Fish and Wildlife Office compiled and released BDCP-related staff notes, emails and documents that reference:

  1. Sizing of the proposed intake and conveyance facilities to meet Endangered Species Act requirements
  2. Sizing of the proposed intake and conveyance facilities to create a project capable of being permitted by/for BDCP
  3. Need for a larger facility in the North Delta to avoid pumping in the South Delta; and
  4. Impacts of new conveyance facilities on threatened and endangered species in the North Delta.

We also released documents referred to the Bay Delta FWO by NOAA as part of their response to a similar FOIA request.

These documents have been copied onto a CD and are available, free of charge, to the public. You may request a copy of the CD by writing or emailing to:
