This procedural ruling responds to the Delta Tribal Environmental Coalition’s (DTEC) November 21, 2025 evidentiary objections to exhibits submitted by the Department of Water Resources (DWR) and related testimony by Anecita Agustinez, Kristina Reese, and Susan Lassell (DWR’s witnesses). DTEC objects that during examination by DTEC’s counsel, DWR’s witnesses asserted confidentiality of information obtained through Tribal consultation, but during cross-examination by DWR, DWR offered exhibits and sought testimony from the witnesses that allegedly violated these same confidentiality principles.
