Draft California report calls for saving more land for farms

(The Center Square) – A draft report calls for California to convert less of its agricultural land in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta for natural habitat and flood control. The report reduces the amount of land from what the state previously planned to convert. But there's little to no indication of how much the plan could cost taxpayers. That draft report, which was released in September, follows a 17-year-old mandate that state officials find ways to create a more reliable water supply throughout the state while simultaneously restoring wildlife habitats in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. The report also proposes ways to offset losses in reclamation district assessments and local tax revenues, which are paid by property owners in the state’s 110 reclamation districts and the five counties that fall in the boundaries of the Delta. That report also recommends methods of increasing the agricultural and economic viability of farms in the Delta, as well as ways to decrease carbon emissions and subsidence. The current draft doesn’t stipulate how much any of the report’s goals could cost taxpayers, or which taxpayer-funded agencies could pay the price of turning farmland into natural habitat restoration. “The point of the report is really to
