California water fix South Delta Water Agency Parties Case-In-Chief Part 2

An analysis of the Central and South Delta water quality, focusing on the impact of the California WaterFix on salt loading and its effect on wildlife. The evaluation includes comparisons of salt flux and flow rates at various inflow/outflow points between the CWF and the existing NAA.

  2. Analysis • Evaluated the Impact of the CWF on the Water Quality Effecting Wildlife in The Central and South Delta • Change in Salt Loading To The South Delta • Inflow / Outflow Locations • PA compared to the NAA

  3. Sacramento River near Vernalis Cl vs EC

  4. Middle River at Bordon Bridge Cl vs EC

  5. Sacramento River at Sacramento

  6. Mean Monthly Salt Flux and Flow Rate At The South Delta Inflow/Outflow Points For The CWF NAA

  7. Mean Monthly Salt Flux and Flow Rate At The South Delta Inflow/Outflow Points For The CWF PA

  8. Summary of Mean Monthly Salt Loading for The PA and the NAA

  9. Comparison of Salt Loading Between The CWF PA and the NAA

  10. Conclusion • Based on my analysis of the hydrodynamic and water quality data contained within the Petitioners hydrodynamic model, DSM2, it is my opinion that there will be a significant increase in salt loading to the South Delta. • On average, there will be an increase of roughly 30,000 metric tons of salt brought into the South Delta each year under the CWF PA. The details supporting my opinion are provided below.
