Background
The Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (Central Valley Board) adopted the Eastern San Joaquin River Watershed Waste Discharge Requirements General Order in December 2012. Environmental interests subsequently filed a petition with the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) contending that the surface water quality monitoring framework is inadequate to determine if the goal of protecting water quality is being met.
In April 2019, the Central Valley Board asked the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project Authority (SCCWRP) to convene an Expert Review Panel to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of the present monitoring program requirements. SCCWRP has convened an independent, five-member panel to undertake a comprehensive review of the monitoring program. This site provides information about the Panel and its activities.
