WHEREAS:

1. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco Bay Region (SFBRWQCB), adopted a revised Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) in June 1995, which was approved by the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) in July 1995 and the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) in November 1995.

2. On April 16, 1997, the SFBRWQCB adopted Resolution No. 97-058 (Attachment 1) as a Nunc Pro Tunc amendment correcting unintentional drafting errors found in the Basin Plan.

3. The SFBRWQCB is not required to file documentation in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), since Nunc Pro Tunc amendments do not qualify as a project under CEQA (Public Resources Code, Section 21065).

4. The SFBRWQCB Resolution No. 97-058 was adopted in accordance with State laws and regulations.

5. Basin Plan amendments do not become effective until approved by the SWRCB and until regulatory provisions are approved by OAL.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

The SWRCB:

1. Approves the Nunc Pro Tunc Basin Plan amendment adopted by the SFBRWQCB under Resolution No. 97-058.

2. Directs the SWRCB staff to transmit the approved Nunc Pro Tunc Basin Plan amendment to the OAL and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The undersigned, Administrative Assistant to the Board, does hereby certify that the foregoing is a full, true, and correct copy of a resolution duly and regularly adopted at a meeting of the State Water Resources Control Board held on February 19, 1998.
