Interesting how some things are deemed to be imperative to the health of the Delta and others aren't....

In the last session of the state legislature, a bill titled "Tidelands and Submerged Lands: Removal of Vessels" by Senator Wolk was enrolled. This bill provided that "....a hulk, derelict, wreck, or parts of a ship, vessel, or other water craft sunk, beached, grounded or floating and allowed to remain in unseaworthy or dilapidated condition....for a period longer than 30 days....is abandoned property...." The bill allowed for seizure and disposal of the property by a commission after providing notice and an opportunity for a hearing to the owner of record. Some portion of the $ proceeds from that activity would help fund the program.

Sounds good for the health of the Delta to take these leaky, deteriorating, dangerous hulks from the waterways, Huh

The enrolled bill was vetoed by the Guv on 11/3/09.
