1.19.24: As we continue to fight the One Tunnel project, AquAlliance joined five other NGOs on January 19, 2024, to challenge the Environmental Impact Report in court. Our role starts with our expertise to tear into the EIR’s failure to acknowledge how it would impact groundwater in the Sacramento Valley and foothills and facilitate destructive water transfers. This particular EIR is very vulnerable to litigation since DWR didn’t even analyze the impacts from operating a tunnel – they just looked at construction impacts, which is illegal under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
