2016 DSC use of the wrong data from DRMS for the

Letter to DSC

Independent

Science Board

advising of the use

of incorrect data

from DRMS Phase

1, with request to

correct data

related to Ryer

Island located

northeast of Rio

Vista

DSC response:

Acknowledging the incorrect

Data of DRMS …

DSC says DRMS

incorrect data was not

used for DLIS, then

says alternative data

was compiled (even

though the DRMS

Phase 1 report is

referenced for the data)

DSC acknowledges some

assets were missed, agrees to

add those assets, but does so in

an illogical way.

DSC says population total

comes from USACE…which

used DRMS. In any case DSC

says the population of Ryer

Island, based on census data, is

320 people protected by the

levees, assuming people on the

water side of levees would not

be at risk. (What about blocked

access due to road damage

from levee failure?

Despite assurances by DSC

representative, decisions are

proposed to be based on the

“best available science”. Yet

look at all the incorrect data

that is being used for just

ONE of the islands of the

Delta!

It appears information from

both Ryer Islands was

combined to create one

record, resulting in quite

substantial incorrect data in

use for the DSC decision

process, particularly for the

Ryer Island northeast of Rio

Vista.

Population: 0 or 320?
