Excerpt from Interim Report to the California State Legislature on the Salinity Control Barrier Investigation: Prepared Pursuant to the Abshire-Kelly Salinity Control Barrier Act of 1955, Chapter 1434, Statutes of 1955 Bulletin No. 60 contains the conclusions which have been reached regarding the feasibility of alternative plans designed to (1) provide a means of transporting large quantities of water across the sacramento-san Joaquin Delta, (2) repel salinity from the Delta channels, (3) improve the quality of water applied to Delta lands, (a) provide flood protection to Delta islands, and (5) include a means for delivering water from the Delta to the San Francisco Bay Area. It is recommended that further studies of salinity con trol barriers be limited to the modified Junction Point Barrier Plan designated as the Biemond Plan, and that the North Bay Aqueduct unit of that plan be authorized. It is further recommended that funds be appropriated for acquisition of lands, easements, and rights of way, and preparation of plans and specifications for the North Bay Aqueduct, contingent upon reasonable assurance from the prospective water users of their willingness to assume the obligation for repayment of the reimbursable costs. It is further recommended that a policy relating to reimbursable and nonreimbursable costs be established by the Legislature.
