NOTICE: The Los Angeles Regional Water Board is implementing a Paperless Office system to reduce our paper use, increase efficiency, and provide a more effective way for our staff and the public to view water quality documents.
Effective immediately, please convert all applications, supporting documents to the applications, reports and correspondence that you would normally submit to us as hard copies to a searchable Portable Document Format (PDF). Documents that are less than 10 MB should be emailed to losangeles@waterboards.ca.gov. Documents that are 10 MB or larger should be transferred to a disk and mailed to the Regional Board. Please see the Paperless Office Notice with the attached Guidelines for Electronic Submittal of Documents for more detail on submittals.
We may request some documents be submitted on paper, particularly drawings or maps that require a large size to be readable, or in other electronic formats where evaluation of data is required.
There is no need for duplicate submittals.
We are developing policy and procedure requirements for the submission of digital signatures (electronic signatures). In the meantime, where applications and penalty of perjury oaths require an original, hand-written signature; please convert and insert into the PDF file where appropriate.
The Regional Board does not accept electronic transfer of funds. Please continue to mail all checks to the Regional Board along with a paper cover letter to ensure that the funds are attributed to the correct project. If your project has been assigned a File No. by the Regional Board, be sure to reference the File No.

To effectively carry out the State’s No Net Loss Policy for wetlands, the State needs to closely track both wetland losses and mitigation/restoration project success. Project proponents, as they are issued CWA Section 401 Certifications, will be required to use the Southern California Wetlands Standard Form to provide Project information in a standard format which will be used to track losses and gains in wetlands and which be reflected in the California Wetlands Portal. The completed form shall be submitted electronically to chriss@sccwrp.org or shall be submitted as a hard copy to both: 1) The Water Board to the attention of the 401 and Wetlands Unit; and 2) The Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP), 3535 Harbor Blvd., Suite 110, Costa Mesa, CA 92626-1437, to the attention of Christopher W. Solek, Ph.D.
- The California Rapid Assessment Method (CRAM) is a standardized, cost-effective tool for assessing the health of wetlands and riparian habitats. CRAM software guides users through assessments that take less than one-half field day to complete. CRAM is applicable to all wetland types. It is designed for assessing ambient conditions within watersheds, regions, and throughout the State. It can also be used to assess the performance of compensatory mitigation projects and restoration projects.
