Stakeholder Advisory Group

The Stakeholder Advisory Group will communicate the Development of Biological Integrity Assessment Implementation Planning project goals to other interested stakeholders. This committee will then carry overall stakeholder's comments back to the Scientific and Regulatory Advisory Groups. The goal here is to ensure that overall stakeholder input is incorporated into the technical and policy elements throughout this process, empowering the Stakeholder Advisory Group to play a key role in advising the State Water Board. These meetings are open to all interested parties.
