Experts: Many flaws in tunnels proposal

Stockton Record (May 20, 2014) — Speaking as a member of the Delta Independent Science Board, Jay Lund said the Bay Delta Conservation Plan - as Gov. Jerry Brown's twin tunnels plan is formally known - contains too many flaws. "I don't think the document was organized to provide a convincing or particularly solid justification for the project, though they have a lot of the pieces, certainly," said Lund, who is also director of the UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences. The board said the plan overstates the project's benefits for fish, fails to recognize uncertainties and fails to identify contingency plans in case the results are less than what supporters expect.
