The Programmatic Record of Decision (ROD) for the CALFED Bay Delta Program was issued in August 2000. The ROD reflects final selection of a long-term plan to fix the Bay Delta and describes an implementation strategy. One part of the ROD describes specific actions that are part of the South Delta Improvement Program and are related to providing for more reliable long-term export capacity for the State Water Project and Central Valley Project. One specific action is an increase in SWP pumping to 8,500 cfs. This action currently is the subject of environmental review, in the form of a project-specific EIR/EIS. As part of that review, the California Department of Water Resources invited a representative group of stakeholders to provide input on an alternative that would meet as many key interests as possible. This stakeholder alternative will be considered along with other input during preparation of the EIR/EIS. Other CALFED agencies participated as well as water exporters, environmental interests, and South Delta water interests. CDR Associates was hired to facilitate this stakeholder process. A significant modeling and "gaming" technical exercise provide information to stakeholders engaged in the input process. The outcome of these efforts was a report from CDR Associates to DWR. CDR has recently been asked to assist DWR and stakeholders to refine key elements of the proposed stakeholder alternative as the EIR/EIS process continues.
