NOTICE: Opportunity to participate in working meetings on Draft Sacramento/Delta updates to the Bay-Delta Plan

From the State Water Resources Control Board:

This letter is to notify potentially interested persons that staff from the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board or Board) will hold a series of technical working meetings to receive further input from the water community, including water users, environmental groups, and California Native American Tribes, on draft updates to the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francsico Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Watershed (Bay-Delta Plan) following a multi-day public workshop held in late 2024.

The draft updates to the Bay-Delta Plan are focused on the portions of the plan relevant to the Sacramento River watershed, Delta eastside tributaries (including the Calaveras, Cosumnes, and Mokelumne Rivers), and Delta (Sacramento/Delta) for the
reasonable protection of fish and wildlife beneficial uses.

The purpose of the working meetings is for staff to receive specific input on the October 2024 draft Sacramento/Delta updates to the Bay-Delta Plan, which include regulatory provisions based on the Board’s September 2023 draft Staff Report and provisions based on voluntary agreements (VAs) proposed by public water agencies and state and federal agencies known as the Healthy Rivers and Landscapes Proposal.
