it directly addressed tuolomne specific flow needs and not vernalis and san joaquin and delta river needs. i won't go into it detail, but it includes strategically timed flows including functional flowing that drive important eco logical processes, and that's what we're saying, is what's going to drive the eco logical processes in a good way linked to the nonflow measures? [inaudible] [inaudible] >> and the last one, as compared to 1995, would be fully funded, including monitoring, so there's -- there's a package there that actually makes sense and can be carried through. and this will also include an adapt tiff management program which is carefully monitoring, studying and treating them as experiments and then making adjustments as you find things over time, unimpaired flow percentage really doesn't work for the tuolomne river, and using our managed approach to the tuolomne does. now i'm going to turn to the 1995 turk settlement agreement because it's gotten a lot of attention. first there was an increase in flows at that time. the original license was issued in 1964, and it had an amoun

recognized was that out of basin factors would affect naturally reproducing chinook, delta exports, san joaquin delta bay restrictions, and basically, fish that were born on the merced river or on up at the pullman fish hatchery on the tuolomne river, they start to compete with those on the tuolomne river, and you don't know which is which. and then also commercial and sport salmon harvest. so only two of the ten projects were implemented, gravel pool project due to funding issues, and the special run pool number nine project was not successful in reducing large mouth bass, linear density, i like that during the low flow years has occurred as it was being monitored. so basically we thought we were going to be able to control the bass, and we were unsuccessful at that time. >> on the ten projects that were not implemented due to funding, where was the funding responsibility for those projects? >> well, the initial funding came from san francisco and the district. i think there was a cal fed grant money, i think there was both state and federal money that came into those. i haven't actually run the tot

san francisco bay and delta. the state water resources controls board's proposal for increases flows on the tuolomne and other rivers that flow into the san joaquin is already a compromise, let than what the scientific report does prepared for the proceeding, other agencies, major academic institutions, and conservation groups have stated is needed to restore healin restore healthy salmon runs. people in san francisco are world leaders of innovation in every sector, and we should be leaders for this sector, as well. we hope that the san francisco board of supervisors will reject the san francisco p.u.c.'s efforts to defeat the state water board proposals to maintain 40% of the river's flows. instead, follow the science and direct the san francisco p.u.c. to work with all stakeholders on developing local and regional water supplies while diverting less water from the tuolomne. thank you. >> president cohen: next speaker. >> good evening, madam president, members of the board of supervisors. my name is doug obiji, and i'm a senior council with the defense resources council here in san francisco. i've spent the last ten years working on the bay area

to orient you to the bay delta, it includes the sacramento river his and what we are talking about is tributaries to the san joaquin river and there are three tributaries that are being addressed in the state board's plan. as you can see on the map, one is located on the upper end of the river. the bay delta has drinking water for 27 million people in california. that includes the bay area. one of the things that he mentioned was the 200 million gallons per day. when we translate that into how much water we actually divert, we divert less than one% of inflow going into the bay delta. yet we serve seven% of the population of california and all the businesses back such as those in silicon valley and other parts of the bay area. again to orient you, the tributary of san joaquin, we divert water so it does not go down the river. is diverted at the reservoir. this represents about 85% of our water supply. amount of our water supply today. what you will be hearing about is the river in respect to the bay delta plan what is the plastically while we agree with the plan, we don't agree with the means of the plan and that is
