This all sounds pretty good. Unless they already have, SAFCA will still have something to say about all this.
The downside of all of this is that LAMWDs demand for water deliveries may result in increased pressure for pumping water through the Delta. Westlands already owns 3,000 acres in the bypass. Like Westlands, LAMWD is seeking land to purchase in the By-Pass. Between the two, these water Districts have improved their right to demand water from/through the Delta and an increased status as a stakeholder in constructing a new peripheral canal/tunnel.
Just a thought, If the waterways of this state are re-engineered any further, we'll begin to see dutch water engineers coming here to learn new canal/tunnel building techniques instead of the other way around.
