Contra Costa County and Contra Costa County Water Agency neither support nor oppose the requested extension. Since you granted the requested 30-day extension, we request that you extend, and it is only fair to extend, by the same amount of time, all other deadlines for this hearing, including the current March 15, 2016 deadline for "procedural/evidentiary objections concerning petitioners' cases in chief," the current March 15, 2016 deadline for "receipt of proposed groupings and order of parties cross-examination," and all deadlines related to Part 1b of the hearing (See Revised Hearing Schedule, Feb. 11, 2016 Pre-Hearing Conference Ruling, p. 2.) Extending these other deadlines will preserve the staggered hearing schedule in the February 11, 2016 Pre-Hearing Conference Ruling. Further, Contra Costa County and Contra Costa County Water Agency join in the arguments made in Mr. Herrick's February 23, 2016letter regarding, "State Water Contractors Request for Reconsideration." If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact me at (925) 674-7824.
