On Friday, July 6, the State Water Resources Control Board released its final draft water quality objectives for the lower San Joaquin River, its three major tributaries, and the southern Delta, and also released a proposed Framework for the Sacramento River and its tributaries, Delta eastside tributaries (such as the Mokelumne River), and Delta outflows (fresh water flowing into San Francisco Bay). These documents set the stage for all of the major river systems flowing through the Estuary.
