Jim Costa: “I care about restoring the salmon fisheries. I know salmon fishermen have been impacted, just as farmers in my area have…”

I think we all pray that we can come together on a farm bill before the end of the year.

I appreciate your support for this project in this year's bill and ask that you provide the remaining funds necessary in fiscal year 2025 to complete the general re-evaluation report.

The goals of the program are to restore and maintain endangered fish populations on the San Joaquin River and to reduce the adverse water supply impact on the Friant Division contractors.

We must begin a new feasibility study so the Corps of Engineers can investigate flood risk management needs as well as potential modifications to improve the dam's safety.
