Administrative comments filed last Friday by the Delta Tribal Environmental Coalition (DTEC) urge the State Water Resources Control Board (Board) to abandon unlawful private deal-making with large water diverters and instead adopt regulations that restore the health of the Bay-Delta, protect tribal uses of water and strengthen engagement with Tribes and disadvantaged communities in watershed management. DTEC’s comments are in response to the Draft Water Quality Control Plan for the Bay-Delta released by the Board in October 2024, according to a press release from the Delta Tribal Environmental Coalition.
