Ag Council is opposing the State Water Resources Control
Board’s effort to force 40 percent unimpaired flows from
three San Joaquin River tributaries for the beneficial use of
fish and wildlife, in addition to salinity control. By drastically
slashing surface water allocations, this plan will result in
job and economic losses. Ag Council is participating in the
public hearing process and supports the request by locals for
the Board to focus on non-flow measures, such as river and
habitat improvements, as well as predation suppression.
Prop. 65
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment
(OEHHA) has a number of pending regulations impacting
chemicals that are used in production agriculture and/or
naturally-occurring in the environment. From bisphenol-A
(BPA) to lead, many of these compounds are prevalent
throughout agriculture. Additional developments are
anticipated in 2017, and Ag Council remains very involved
in Prop 65.
