Irrigated Lands Program - Development of the Long-term Program
Long-term Irrigated Lands Program
The Central Valley Regional Water Board has adopted regulatory requirements for discharges from irrigated lands (tailwater, water from underground drains, stormwater runoff) to waters of the State under a Conditional Waiver of Waste Discharge Requirements. The Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program (ILRP) regulates such discharges located within the jurisdiction of the Central Valley Water Board, which extends from the Oregon border south to the northernmost tip of Los Angeles County (Region 5). The current regulatory requirements are considered part of an interim program; development of the long-term program is currently underway.
