• 4/8/07  We Have a Reprieve We have been heard. Thanks to our letters, petitions, perseverance, and most of all to the folks that go to the meetings and speak on behalf of the DRC explaining our position on the dam management, the FFMP has been postponed until July. Carol Collier, Executive Director, DRBC stated in effect: Due to the enormous amount of comments concerning the FFMP, we are delaying a vote on the plan until our meeting in July. July 18th. We will be working on a plan to better balance the needs of all the competing factions on the Delaware. Until that time, the DRBC will extend the current Amended Temporary Spill Mitigation Program and the Tailwaters Habitat Protection & Discharge Management Program (THPDMP) until the July timeframe.
