SRCD Alternative Compliance Plan for Diversion Measurement
On 24 June 2015, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 88 into law. This legislation added new measurement and reporting requirements (effective 1 January 2016) for diverters who divert more than 10 acre-feet of water per year including in the Suisun Marsh. The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted emergency regulations to implement these new provisions on 19 January 2016. This new law and its regulations affects all water users required to file a Statement of Diversion and Use in the Suisun Marsh, including those claiming riparian or pre-1914 appropriative water rights. Reporting of water diversion amounts is now required annually, and the past reporting requirement of every three years has been eliminated.
SRCD has worked with the Delta Watermaster to develop an Alternative Compliance Plan for all Suisun Marsh diverters. The diversion measurement method of staff gauges and floodable acreage will continue to meet regulatory requirements for the measurement of brackish water used to manage Suisun Marsh wetland habitats. If landowners choose not to opt-in to the SRCD’s Alternative Compliance Plan, they may measure their own diversion and report it directly to the SWRCB. Violators will face fines and penalties under the new law.

Diversion Reporting Information
Clubs are required to record monthly water diversions for the calendar years. A supplemental measurement form is required for submission. The submission for the forms may be done through an online version with a username and password linked to each diversion reported in an Initial Statement. Contact your Water Manager for assistance as soon as possible. Please see link below for further instructions.

San Francisco Bay EcoAtlas
The San Francisco Bay EcoAtlas is a mapping tool for visualizing and storing environmental data and information for the San Francisco estuary. It includes maps of current and historic Bay Area conditions. The maps and tools can be used to create a picture of wetland features on the landscape overlaid with other layers including biophysical characteristics and infrastructure. One tool is a program called Project Tracker, a data entry tool for uploading and editing information on wetland restoration, mitigation, and habitat conservation projects throughout California (also see Science > Restoration). To see maps of the Suisun Marsh area, click the link or the image.
