Triennial Reviews - In Progress
To meet requirements of Section 303(c) of the Federal Clean Water Act and Section 13240 of the California Water Code, the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board) reviews the water quality standards contained in the Water Quality Control Plan for the Sacramento River and San Joaquin River Basins (Basin Plan) every three years. This Triennial Review consists of conducting a public workshop to receive comments on water quality problems in the two Basins and preparing a work plan which describes the actions the Regional Water Board may take over the next three years to investigate and respond to the problems. Implementation of the work plan depends upon the Regional Water Board’s program priorities, resources, and other mandates and commitments. Crucial to successful implementation of the actions is adequate support of the Regional Water Board’s Basin Plan activities.
