Groups Urge Congress to Pass San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act
Source: Natural Resources Defense Council
“Despite bipartisan support in both the Senate and House of Representatives, Congress has so far failed to move forward on the legislation that is needed to fund and fully implement the San Joaquin River settlement. The federal and state governments need Congressional authorization if the goal of restoring California’s second-longest river and bringing back its salmon fishery is to become a reality. This historic settlement has broad support across California and will provide numerous benefits throughout the state. It is essential that Congress pass the San Joaquin River Restoration Settlement Act as soon as possible.”
