I have been to scoping and pulic comment meetings on BDCP, and now the single tunnel. As one directly impacted as a Delta resident for 19 years, I am particularly interested not just in operating agreements but what is going to be done for Delta Residents whose property isn't taken by eminent domain but as the 92,000 page BCP EIR said that it was assummed that many residents would just have to abandon their homes for a variety of reasons including as an example, destruction of residential drinking wells due to nearby dewatering down to 190 feet. I would like to know what sort of Voluntary Settlement Agreements there will be for people who lose their homes to unitended consequences of the project and how many $billions are going to be set aside in a fund to pay for legitimate claims that arise during the 9 or so years of construction - without requiring regular homeowners and farmers from having to sue to get their property rights treated as something of value.
