Developing a Groundwater Quality Protection Strategy for the Central Valley Region
On 4 December 2008, the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted Resolution No. R5-2008-0181 in support of Developing a Groundwater Strategy for the Central Valley Region. The resolution directs staff to develop a long-term strategy that will identify high priority activities, recognize the water boards core responsibilities and existing commitments; and build on existing processes. The Central Valley Water Board recognizes the importance of a collaborative planning process and will be doing outreach with stakeholders throughout the development of this strategy.
