| August 2003 - Irrigation & Storm Water Runof Conditional Waiver Adopted | After considerable public debate and several public hearings for more than a year, on July 11, 2003 the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted a "Conditional Waiver" to regulate agricultural irrigation and storm water runoff. This "Conditional Waiver" has the potential to affect any landowner with commercial or non-commercial irrigated lands in the Central Valley of California (from the Fall River Valley northeast of Redding to the foot of the Tehachapi Mountains south of Bakersfield). This newsletter provides background on the issue and discusses how the irrigated agricultural community is working to comply with this new surface water regulation. As a private landowner, you are encouraged to stay current on the implementation of this regulation and understand the options available to you to comply. |
