Our Advisory and Oversight Group
TTAT - the Tracy Technical Advisory Team
Chaired by Ron Silva, the TTAT is an important peer review and coordination component for the Tracy Fish Facility Improvement Program (TFFIP). Its experienced members represent a variety of California, local, and Federal resource management agencies active in the South Delta region of the Central Valley. TTAT experts from several different engineering and environmental science disciplines are involved in technical and program guidance and consultation to prevent duplication of effort and encourage cooperation with field studies and sharing of research data.
The TTAT includes staff from Reclamation’s Mid-Pacific Regional, Area, and Project Offices; Reclamation researchers from the Denver Technical Service Center; State of California resources agencies (Department of Fish and Game, Department of Water Resources), Federal agencies (National Marine Fisheries Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service); interagency groups such as the Bay-Delta Authority (CALFED), and the Interagency Ecological Program (IEP); water user groups such as the San Luis-Delta Mendota Water Authority (SLDMWA); along with Universities funded through cooperative agreements; and, independent engineering and natural resources management consultants.

Tracy Research Links
The research and development work underway to improve fish salvage at the Tracy Fish Collection Facility (TFCF) depends on consultation and cooperation with many different federal and state agencies that are active in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. This cooperation is essential to help us plan scientifically sound studies at the Tracy facility and to prevent waste from redundant investigations. We are endebted to colleagues and administrators in our cooperating agencies who either directly provide technical advice and guidance, or assist by sharing data and information. We hope the following links will be helpful.
