San Diego Region - 401 Water Quality Certification
Public Notification for Pending 401 Water Quality Certification Applications
The State Water Resources Control Board revised State regulations for the 401 Water Quality Certification Program; these revisions went into effect on June 24, 2000. The revised regulations [23 CCR § 3830-3869] may be found at http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/cwa401/docs/401regs.pdf or http://www.calregs.com/.
Section 3858 (a) states "The executive director or the executive officer with whom an application for certification is filed shall provide public notice of an application at least twenty one (21) days before taking certification action on the application, unless the public notice requirement has been adequately satisfied by the applicant or federal agency. If the applicant or federal agency provides public notice, it shall be in a manner and to an extent fully equivalent to that normally provided by the certifying agency. If an emergency requires that certification be issued in less than 21 days, public notice shall be provided as much in advance of issuance as possible, but no later than simultaneously with issuance of certification."

Last Updated 5/21/2013 - Pending Water Quality Certification Applications (Adobe PDF format) - This link provides access to selected information on pending 401 applications. The public has 21 days from the date posted to comment on projects currently under review by the Regional Board staff.
On January 5, 2012 the San Diego Water Board inadvertently posted an inaccurate version of the December 1, 2011 application from Gregory Canyon Landfill, and notified interested parties of the posting via the lyris list. Later that day, a revised notice was sent, asking interested parties to disregard the materials referenced. The December 1, 2011 version of this application posted on this website should not be relied upon, as it contained erroneous information and is not part of the San Diego Water Board's record for making a decision in this matter.
As of January 25, 2012 this website has been updated to reflect the most current application materials (dated January 19, 2012). These materials are available for review using the links below:
