Agenda
|
|
Submittal
of Written Material for Regional Board Consideration
|
|
To
ensure that the Regional Board Members are given the opportunity
to fully study and consider written material, it is necessary that
12 copies of any such material be provided to the Executive Officer
not later than five (5) days before the meeting. This will allow
distribution of the material to the Board Members and appropriate
staff in advance of the meeting.
The parties to Items 11, and 12 must submit any written comments
or exhibits to the Executive Officer no later than April 19, 2002.
Failure to comply with these requirements is grounds for the Board
to refuse to admit the proposed written comment or exhibit into
evidence. (Title 23, CCR, Section 648.4) The Regional Board may
refuse to admit written testimony into evidence unless the proponent
can demonstrate why he or she was unable to submit the material
on time or that compliance with the deadline would otherwise create
a hardship. If any other party demonstrates prejudice resulting
from admission of the written testimony, the Regional Board may
refuse to admit it.
If
you are reading a statement at the Board meeting, please provide
the Executive Assistant with a copy at the meeting. The Board will
endeavor to consider all matters listed on this agenda. However,
time may not allow the Board to hear all matters listed. Matters
not heard at this meeting may be carried over to the next Board
meeting or to a future Board meeting. Parties will be notified in
writing of the rescheduling of their item. Please contact the Regional
Board staff to find out about rescheduled items.
Material presented to the Board as part of testimony that is to
be made part of the record must be left with the Board. This includes
photographs, slides, charts, diagrams, etc. All Board files pertaining
to the items on this Agenda are hereby made a part of the record
submitted to the Regional Board by staff for its consideration prior
to action on the related items
