This is a message from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley (5)
This is an update on the “Evaluation of the Municipal and Domestic Supply (MUN) Beneficial Use in Ag Dominated Surface Waters” project. Thank you to those of you who attended the September 26th stakeholder meeting. Meeting notes have been posted on the Water Board website. The final calendar for the 2015 Central Valley Water Board meetings has been adopted, and the MUN evaluation project timeline has been updated as follows:
Sacramento POTW (cities of Biggs, Colusa, Live Oak and Willows) Basin Plan Amendment:
Board meeting for a hearing – February (5/6) 2015 in Rancho Cordova
Board meeting for adoption – April (9/10) 2015 in Fresno
Region-wide MUN Evaluation Process Basin Plan Amendment:
Board workshop – April (9/10) 2015 in Fresno
Because of this shift in the project schedule, it was decided to postpone the next stakeholder meeting until January 2015. This will be a half day meeting focused on the Sacramento POTW Basin Plan Amendment. A completed draft Staff Report will be available to the public by that time. However, The Water Board needs your help scheduling the meeting so please take a few seconds to fill in your own availability using the Meet-o-Matic link below:
