ONE TWENTY HI.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN WAS
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO
GIVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY PRESENT
OF THIS BILL AND FOR TAKING A
FEW MINUTES ON THIS BUSY NIGHT
IS WE'RE GETTING LATE WITH LOTS
TO DO.
JUST SAY A FEW THINGS SO.
GIVEN WHAT MAY HAPPEN TO IT THE
BILL SEEKS TO HIT THE PAUSE
BUTTON ON A MASSIVE WATER
EXTRACTION PROJECT.
ABOUT FIFTY THOUSAND ACRE FEET
PER YEAR FOR FIFTY YEARS.
IN A VERY FRAGILE PART OF THE
MOJAVE DESERT.
AND HIT THAT PAUSE BUTTON IN
ORDER TO INSURE THAT WE GET THIS
SCIENCE RIGHT AND WE MAKE THE
RIGHT DECISION.
SOME OF YOU KNOW THE E. I. R.
PROCESS IN THIS MATTER INVOLVED.
A FLAWED PROCESS IT WAS MANAGED
BY A WATER AGENCY AS THE LEAD
AGENCY.
LOCATED OVER A HUNDRED THIRTY
MILES AWAY FROM THE MOJAVE AND
ORANGE COUNTY.
WATER AGENCY WITH THE SELF
INTEREST IN THE E. AYE OUR
OUTCOME.
IN OTHER WORDS AN ENTITLEMENT
230% OF THE WATER FROM THE
PROJECT IF THE E. AYE ARE WAS
FAVORABLE.
SO THE LEAD AGENCY OF COURSES
AGENCIES DO HEARD ITS OWN
EXPERTS.
OF TO GENERATE THE FAVORABLE --
AND FRANKLY DISREGARDED OTHER.
FOR A SIGNIFICANT SCIENTIFIC
EVIDENCE FROM.
A FEDERAL AGENCIES SUCH AS THE
U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY IN THE
NATIONAL PARKS SERVICE
[inaudible]
AND OTHERS.
ON THE I OUR PROCESS FAILED. TO
RESOLVE CONFLICTS.
IN THE SCIENCE PERTAINING TO
SUSTAINABILITY.
NO OTHER WORDS THIS PROJECT AS
PROPOSED PULLS MORE WATER OUT OF
THE MOJAVE.
AQUIFER THEN IS RECHARGE BACK
INTO THE BASIN FRANK FRANKLY A
LOT MORE.
KITTY'S PLANS TO PULL UP FIFTY
THOUSAND ACRE FEET A YEAR WHEN
KINSEY'S IT COULD EASE ITSELF
ADMITS.
THAT THE RECHARGE RATE IS ABOUT
THIRTY THOUSAND ACRE FEET.
A PRE YEAR SO IN OTHER WORDS AND
ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC STUDIES.
OF THE DELTA BETWEEN DISCHARGING
RECHARGES EVEN IS EVEN GREATER --
DURING THE COURT REVIEW FOR
THOSE YOU MAY BE INTERESTED OF
THE E. AYE ARE.
THE COURTS OF COURSE IN THE
NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS IN E.
OUR REVIEW.
WERE PROHIBITED FROM EVALUATING
IN RESOLVING THE CONFLICT.
IN ESTABLISHING A SUSTAINABLE
[inaudible]
SURGERY.
NOW THIS PUMPING IS NOT GOOD FOR
THE DESERT.
AQUIFER AND IF WE GET THIS WRONG.
DEPENDING ON WHICH SCIENTIFIC
STUDY YOU LOOK AT IT WILL TAKE
BETWEEN.
THIRTY AND FOUR HUNDRED AND
FIFTY YEARS AFTER IDES STOPS
PUMPING. FOR THE DISCHARGED TO
BE FIT FOR THE AQUIFER TO BE
FIXED.
NOW SINCE THIS IS A FISCAL
COMMITTEE I WILL GET TO THAT
MISSED HERE.
THE CALIFORNIA LANDS COMMISSION
ESTIMATES AT THE STATE COST OF
THIS PARTICULAR BILL IN THE
STUDY.
IS LESS THAN ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THAT COST
WOULD BE BILLED TO THE PROJECT
PROPONENT IN THIS CASE GOODIES.
AS IS THE STANDARD PRACTICE IN
SEQUEL [inaudible]
SEEDINGS.
THE OTHER COST TO THE STATE
ASSOCIATED WITH THE DAMAGE TO OR
DESTRUCTION.
OF THIS FRAGILE DESERT BASIN ARE
UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME.
BUT ARE POTENTIALLY VERY VERY
[inaudible]
SIGNIFICANT [inaudible]
NO.
ONE OR TWO FINAL COMMENTS.
PRIOR TO BRINGING THIS BILL FOR
ONE YEAR SINCE SEPTEMBER OF TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN I ATTEMPTED
TO GET DATA AND AN EXPLANATION
FROM COULD DIS.
REGARDING THE DISH CHURCH
RECHARGE DICHOTOMY [inaudible]
WITHOUT SUCCESS.
AND AFTER INTRODUCING THIS BILL
BEFORE IT MOVED TO THIS
PARTICULAR COMMITTEE I TRIED TO
RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH GOODIES
AND HAVE THE CURRENT CONFLICT IN
SCIENCE RESOLVED.
AND MY EFFORTS WERE.
ONCE AGAIN REJECTED.
SO GIVEN THE A WRAP UP GIVEN THE
RELATIVELY MINOR COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PAUSE.
AS OPPOSED TO THE POTENTIAL
DEVASTATION TO THE MOJAVE DESERT
IN ITS AQUIFER.
I THINK WE NEED TO HIT THE PAUSE
BUTTON AND THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL
DOES.
IF COULD EASE HAS IT WRONG.
IF WE GET IT WRONG.
WHO GOING TO ACCEPT
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS?
AND WE CAN'T AFFORD TO GET WRONG.
SO IDEAS FOR YOUR FAVORABLE
CONSIDERATION OF THIS.
EXTRAORDINARILY IMPORTANT
MEASURE AT THIS TIME HANK YOU
