Hi Charlie, We're hearing that the staff at the Tracy Fish Collection Facility are being considered for layoffs. These seven specialists are vital to the ability to export water south of the delta. I can't reiterate enough how important it is to keep these people onboard and that a personnel exemption is issued to protect these positions. If this facility is not staffed, the Jones Pumping Plant cannot be operated. With President Trump's interest and direction given through the California Water Executive Order, maintaining full operation of Jones Pumping Plant is essential. Not granting the exemption for the Tracy Fish Collection Facility staff will put those directives in jeopardy. As Rep. Fong represents a vast agricultural and energy hub south of the delta, this is a hugely important facility that requires adequate staffing. Please let me know if you have any questions and I'd be happy to discuss in broader detail as well. My cell is below. Appreciate all the work you're doing. Thanks, Katy Albiani | Legislative Assistant Congressman Vince Fong (CA-20) Cannon 243 (o) 202.225.2915|(c) 202.961.7407 Sierra Club v. Dept of Interior - 3:25-cv-05375-PHK 0000187 SC_EVERSPLIT0013153
