October 1985 CIIWQP Following briefings about the SJVDP, this letter report calls for improved coordination of research activities, better overall program management, and a program for public participation. Other areas of concern include the need for data management and the ongoing interpretation of data; the importance of quality assurance and quality control; the need to consider agricultural chemicals in the design of analytical studies; the significance of economic, legal, and institutional constraints on the choice of solutions; and the need to consider on-farm management options.

Research areas requiring attention include public health concerns, economic evaluations of potential alternative solutions, and the long-term impacts on ecosystems. The committee urges that recommendations from its October 1985 letter report be implemented as soon as possible (such as development of a strong public participation program; full consideration of economic, institutional, and legal factors; investigation of public health concerns; and development of a quality assurance and quality control program and a data-management program)

February 1987 Subcommittee on Public Health This is a supplement to the June 1986 letter report from this subcommittee that recommends that as the SJVDP evaluates the feasibility and desirability of various solutions, it should explicitly address the public health concerns that might be raised by such actions. March 1987 Subcommittee on Quality Assurance and Quality Control This letter report strongly recommends that the SJVDP hire an experienced quality assurance and quality control manager as soon as possible.

The letter anticipates the committee's increasing involvement in the NIWQP's activities. December 1988 Subcommittee on Quality Assurance and Quality Control This letter report, the third from the Subcommittee on Quality Assurance and Quality Control, stresses the continued importance of quality assurance and quality control activities as the SJVDP winds down its data collection and begins to synthesize information.

August 1989 CIIWQP This letter report expresses strong dissatisfaction with the political influences that have directed the SJVDP to look for solutions only within the confines of the San Joaquin Valley. This committee sees this as a short-sighted approach and again urges policymakers to address the long-term impacts of irrigated agriculture.
