Findings and Recommendations
6 findings
The portion of the Delta that lies within Contra Costa County includes six of the eight western islands, deemed by the State to be of particular importance to preventing seawater intrusion that would impair the quality of water for nearly two-thirds of the State, including much of the East Bay area. Oakley agrees with Finding #1. Response:
No recommendations for this finding
Loss (i.e. submersion) of any of the six islands in the Delta within Contra Costa County has potential to affect adversely much more than just Contra Costa County. Oakley partially agrees with Finding #2. Response: 2 ١. 2
No recommendations for this finding
Key infrastructure located within Contra Costa County reclamation districts benefits the entire County, including major County roads and highways, rail-line, PG&E power transmission lines, natural gas wells, petroleum pipelines, Contra Costa Water District intakes, pumping stations, and portions of both the Contra Costa Canal and EBMUD's Mokelumne aqueduct. Oakley agrees with Finding #3. Response:
No recommendations for this finding
It takes nearly 2 years from the application date for reclamation districts to receive reimbursement for levee maintenance work approved by DWR under the Subventions Program. Oakley is not privy to the evidence leading to this finding and Response: can neither agree nor disagree with Finding #19.
No recommendations for this finding
The cost of the initial funding required of reclamation districts under DWR's Subventions Program can be prohibitive for some reclamation districts, resulting in under-utilization of this highly beneficial program. Oakley is not privy to the evidence leading to this finding and Response: can neither agree nor disagree.
No recommendations for this finding
Planning agencies can require developers who seek to develop areas within reclamation districts to financially contribute to exiting levees as a condition of approval of their proposed developments, as was done with the East Cypress Corridor Plan for residential development in the interior of Hotchkiss Tract, Reclamation District 799. Oakley agrees with Finding #22, and the Oakley City Council Response: required this financial participation of developers through its approval of the East Cypress Corridor Specific Plan.
