Bay Delta Conservation Plan
BDCP Information
What is the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP)?
The Bay Delta Conservation Plan is a unique undertaking initiated and funded by public water agencies with the active participation of environmental organizations, the state and federal fishery agencies, and other state and local organizations - all of whom are deeply invested in the long-term sustainability of the Delta. The goal of the BDCP participants is to formulate a plan that could ultimately be approved by the fish agencies as a habitat conservation plan under federal law and a natural community conservation plan under state law.
What is the purpose of the BDCP?
The purpose of the BDCP is to provide for the recovery of endangered and sensitive species and their habitats in the Delta in a way that also will provide for the protection and restoration of water supplies. The BDCP will:
- Identify and implement conservation strategies to improve the overall ecological health of the Delta;
- Identify and implement ecologically friendly ways to move fresh water through and/or around the Delta;
- Address toxic pollutants, invasive species, and impairments to water quality; and
- Provide a framework and funding to implement the plan over time.
