Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program - Technical Issues Committee (TIC)

The TIC is a forum of individuals from coalition groups, growers, agencies and other interested parties to discuss and provide technical input on technical issues pertaining to monitoring and reporting activities required under the Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program. The TIC also provides an opportunity to share knowledge and consider new approaches. The goal of the TIC is to ensure that the monitoring programs use standardized procedures, that field and laboratory procedures are scientifically sound and defensible, and that water quality data are defensible when characterizing agricultural discharges and their effect on water quality. Within the TIC, focus groups have also been formed to consider the following topics: Triggers, Sediment Toxicity, Nutrients, and Bioassessment. For further information contact Margie Lopez-Read at (916) 464-4624 or by email at mlopez-read@waterboards.ca.gov.
