So does the San Joaquin and other river systems to the south. We need water in all reservoirs.

From a fisheries standpoint the bigger issue (I think) is dissolved oxygen. The organic debris eats it up. But there will also be lots of sediment flow issues, too.
B.A.E.R team is working night and day on analysis of impact. My staff has been kept busy feeding them requested data.
