Acknowledging and Addressing Community Concerns During Project Construction and Operations
Construction and operation of the Delta Conveyance Project will inevitably impact the local community to varying degrees. Members of the public have asked honest and fair questions about how the project could affect their day-to-day lives. To provide a transparent and simplified
description of potential project effects, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) has put together a guide that offers a high-level summary of changes that communities could see with links to additional information.
Questions addressed in the guide cover a variety of topics, ranging from construction noise and anticipated travel times to well water level and quality and the visual character of the Delta. Each topic includes a summary of what project operations and construction could be like, example commitments to reduce impacts, and relevant resources and citations.
DWR has made numerous commitments to address effects within the local community that may be caused by construction of the Delta Conveyance Project, with the overall goal being to avoid, minimize or offset these effects for residents, businesses, recreators, subsistence fishers, Tribes, Environmental Justice communities, emergency responders, tourists, environmental NGOs, agricultural operations, and the traveling public, among many others.
