Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board
Workshop on Proposed Regulations
Thursday, October 3, 2013 at 9:00 am
Robert Cabral Ag Center, 2101 E. Earhart Avenue, Stockton, CA 95206
The Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board will be holding a Board workshop to discuss new regulations for irrigated agriculture. These proposed new regulations may require farmers to submit yearly farm management plans, nitrogen management plans and sediment and erosion control plans to the Regional Board.
The proposed regulations include any discharges to surface water or groundwater. The definition of a discharge to groundwater is any irrigation water that moves past the root zone.
We encourage growers to attend and provide informative and concise points to the Regional Board during the hearing on October 3rd.
