  • Application to Join a Coalition Group

    Background: On 25 January 2008, the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted Order No. R5-2008-0005, a Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP) for Coalition Groups, which requires Coalition Groups to revise their MRP Plans within six months of the adoption of the Board Order. The submittal of an acceptable MRP Plan that meets the requirements of this new order is a condition of the Coalition Group Conditional Waiver, amended Order No. R5-2006-0053. If an acceptable MRP Plan is not submitted, the Executive Officer will direct staff to develop a Coalition-specific MRP Plan that shall be implemented by the Coalition Group(s). Questions and comments may be directed to Margie Read at (916) 464-4624 or by email at mread@waterboards.ca.gov.

  • Monitoring Design Guidance for the Central Valley Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program, November 2007, 480 KB, PDF (PDF Info)
    A Monitoring Design Guidance document was developed by the Irrigated Lands Program Technical Issues Committee and SCCWRP to describe monitoring design principles and approaches for the development of a Coalition-specific Monitoring and Reporting Program Plan (MRP Plan). This guidance also includes flow diagrams that illustrate the decision-making steps that should be followed at various steps of developing and implementing the MRP Plan. Unlike the Tentative MRP Order for Coalition Groups, this document is non-regulatory and does not contain compliance requirements.
