The Measure
For all publicly owned lands in the Delta or Suisun Marsh, state and local agencies, including Reclamation Districts, should develop or update plans that identify land management goals, identify appropriate public or private uses for the land, and describe the operation and maintenance requirements needed to implement management goals. These activities address subsidence and consider the feasibility of subsidence reversal.
Measure Details
Public agencies that own land in deeply subsided areas of Delta and Suisun Marsh play a critical role in halting and reversing subsidence. State and local agencies should take proactive steps to evaluate the feasibility of subsidence-reversal projects, and update applicable management plans that identify land management goals; identify appropriate public or private uses for subsided properties; and describe the operation and maintenance requirements needed to implement management goals, to incorporate actions that reduce, halt, and reverse subsidence.
