--“House Chamber, Washington, D.C. January 19, 2011. M. Speaker:
The Department of Interior issued an announcement yesterday that perfectly illustrates the irrationality of our current approach to water issues.
California’s precipitation this season has gone off the charts. Statewide snow water content is 198 percent of normal; in the all-important Northern Sierra snowpack is 174 percent of normal. This is not only a wet year – it is one of the wettest years on record.
Yet yesterday, we have this announcement from the Department of the Interior: that despite a nearly unprecedented abundance of water, the Bureau of Reclamation will only guarantee delivery of 45 percent of the California Central Valley’s contracted water supply south of the Delta. This is the same percentage they received last year with barely average rainfall.
Department of Interior will allow only 45 percent of normal water deliveries to California Central Valley agriculture south of the Delta. The difference comes to 1.1 million acre-feet of water. 1.1 million acre feet.
Now consider this: since December 1st, the Central Valley Project has released 1.4 million acre feet more water into the Pacific Ocean than they did just last year.
Let me repeat that. At the same time this Administration is denying California Central Valley agriculture 1.1 million acre feet of their rightfully contracted water in one of the wettest years on record, it is dumping 1.4 million acre feet of additional water into the Pacific Ocean.
M. Speaker, this is insane. Coleridge’s lament “Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink” appears to have become the policy of this administration.
The American people did not invest billions of dollars into federal water projects so that their water can be dumped into the ocean to please environmental extremists.
This policy may have been cheered by the previous Congress, but it won’t be tolerated by the new majority, nor by the American people.
Ironically, this announcement came on the same day that the President ordered his agencies to identify regulatory policies that are harming the economy.
M. Speaker, it appears the Department of Interior missed that memo."--
The whole speech is great. There is a lot more.
