Community Benefits Program

Rio Vista, California features a popular fishing pier next to the Rio Vista Bridge over the Sacramento River.
DWR is developing a Community Benefits Program for the proposed Delta Conveyance Project which will ultimately identify and implement commitments, if the Delta Conveyance Project is approved, to help protect and enhance the cultural, recreational, natural resource and agricultural values of the Delta. Development and eventual administration of this program will be a grassroots and collaborative process with the local community. Currently, DWR is gathering input from community leaders and the public regarding potential concepts and approaches which will lead to development of a framework to be presented in the Draft Environmental Impact Report.
Participation in developing a community benefits program does not in any way indicate your support for the Delta Conveyance Project itself. For any questions or feedback related to the development of the Community Benefits Program, please email DeltaConveyanceCBP@water.ca.gov.
