This shutdown is expected to be only temporary to address the immediate problem of too many of the small fish near the pumping stations. The fear is they may get sucked into the pumps and killed – as hundreds did from May 24 until the pumps were shut down May 31. Don Strickland, a spokesman for the Department of Water Resources, said once the water in the delta warms up, the fish will move closer to the bay and the western part of the delta. It’s common that pumping is reduced during this time of year when the smelt move near and past the pumping station from their spawning grounds in the Sacramento River. When the pumps roar back to life, farmers and thirsty Southern Californians which rely on water pumped out of the Banks’ pumps will rejoice. But the risk remains that the pumps could be silenced again as part of a lawsuit against the Department of Water Resources. The lawsuit seeks to shut down the Banks facility pumps if the Department of Water Resources doesn’t comply with the state Endangered Species Act to get a permit for the fish killed in the station’s pumps.
