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.
Comments
for Item 10 were due and submitted by May 10, 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.
