Tentative Ruling Sets Back Delta Plan

The plan to improve the Delta’s natural environment and the efficiency of the state and federal water projects has been put on hold by a tentative ruling from a Sacramento Superior Court Judge.

On June 24, Judge Michael Kenny ruled on clarification motions concerning a consolidated suit aimed at halting the Delta Plan. In his words, the plan is “vacated and invalid.”

Although the Delta Plan was created as an environment enhancer separately from the previous plan that included the Twin Tunnels, it still is linked to the Twin Tunnels.
