SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin 
Delta Estuary is a critically important part of California's natural 
environment and economy. In recognition of the serious problems facing 
the region and the complex resource management decisions that must be 
made, the state of California and the Federal government are working 
together to stabilize, protect, restore, and enhance the Bay-Delta 
Estuary. The State and Federal agencies with management and regulatory 
responsibilities in the Bay-Delta Estuary are working together as 
CALFED to provide policy direction and oversight for the process.
    One area of Bay-Delta management includes the establishment of a 
joint State-Federal process to develop long-term solutions to problems 
in the Bay-Delta Estuary related to fish and wildlife, water supply 
reliability, natural disasters, and water quality. The intent is to 
develop a comprehensive and balanced plan which addresses all of the 
resource problems. This effort will be carried out under the policy 
direction of CALFED. A group of citizen advisors representing 
California's agricultural, environmental, urban, business, fishing, and 
other interests who have a stake in finding long term solutions for the 
problems affecting the Bay-Delta Estuary has been chartered under the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) as the Bay-Delta Advisory Council 
(BDAC) to advise CALFED on the program mission, problems to be 
addressed, and objectives for the CALFED Bay-Delta Program. BDAC will 
also provide a forum to help ensure public participation, and will 
review reports and other materials prepared by CALFED staff.
    Minutes of the meeting will be maintained by the CALFED Bay-Delta 
Program, Suite 1155, 1416 Ninth Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, and will 
be available for public inspection during regular business hours, 
Monday through Friday within 30 days following the meeting.

    Dated: July 21, 1995.

Regional Director, Mid-Pacific Region.
