Existing Conditions Report

  • Revised Existing Conditions Report - December 2008
    Under the current irrigated lands regulatory program, the Central Valley Regional Water Board (Regional Water Board) collected water quality and other data and developed a draft Existing Conditions Report (ECR) for Central Valley Irrigated Agricultural Lands. The ECR was developed to establish baseline conditions for estimating potential environmental and economic effects of long-term irrigated lands regulatory program alternatives in an EIR and other associated staff analyses. The draft ECR was circulated for public review in 2006.  The Water Board’s contractor (ICF Jones & Stokes) and Water Board staff have revised the ECR to address the comments received and also to include the information necessary to conduct a programmatic EIR for the long-term program.
  • Draft Central Valley Existing Conditions Report, February 2006, 88 KB, PDF (PDF Info)
    This report will serve as a foundation to develop alternatives for a long-term water quality regulatory program to address discharges from irrigated agriculture. Public comments are encouraged. Seven public outreach meetings are scheduled. Comment deadline extended to 5:00 PM, 26 May 2006.
