The California Integrated Report program staff are available to discuss any aspect of the integrated report program and invite Tribal officials and representatives to open conversation and collaboration. Please contact staff via email at WQAssessment@waterboards.ca.
What is the integrated report? The integrated report is a non-regulatory report about the quality of surface waterbodies in California. The integrated report is developed in compliance with federal Clean Water Act Sections 303(d) list of impaired waters and 305(b) water quality condition report. California must submit the integrated report to the U.S. EPA every two years. Please refer to the Integrated Report Program Fact Sheet for further overview.
