Superior Court of California Reaffirms the Council’s Broad Authority as Delta Stewards
For the second time since the Delta Stewardship Council’s establishment in 2010, its regulatory authority has been upheld by California’s judicial branch, clearing the way for the Council to continue to apply its expertise and exercise its broad authority in determining how to accomplish the goals and objectives of the Delta Reform Act. On November 4, the Superior Court of California ruled in favor of the Council regarding lawsuits filed by parties challenging two amendments to the Delta Plan and the Programmatic Environmental Impact Report prepared pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
