Background
For background information, please visit the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board’s PG&E - Diablo Canyon informational page.If you only want to watch or listen to the Workshop
The webcast can be viewed through most web browsers from this page: https://cal-span.org/
Individuals who only want to watch or listen should use this option as it preserves interactive meeting resources for those who are commenting on items.
If you want to provide oral comments to staff during the workshop
Members of the public who wish to provide oral comments may join at the noticed meeting location. Alternatively, if a member of the public wishes to provide comments or ask a question from a remote location, the Water Board will use the Zoom application to allow remote participation by the public.
With the remote participation option, you can either call in or use a computer or mobile device (e.g., mobile phone or tablet) to participate via audio or video conference.
Persons wishing to comment or ask a question during the workshop are requested to complete an electronic comment card by 10:30 a.m., Tuesday, November 12, 2025. To provide a comment or question, please use the electronic comment card. In addition to the electronic comment cards, hard copy comment request cards will also be available at the physical meeting location. The comment card and instructions are available below along with additional information about participating telephonically or via the remote video option.
Public comment is typically limited to three minutes unless otherwise approved. Staff may need to adjust the amount of time each speaker has to ensure everyone has an opportunity to provide public comment.
Guidelines for Orderly Participation for Those Who Want to Comment During the Meeting
Remote meetings often lack the same visual and social cues available during public, in-person meetings. Please be respectful and patient so all interested commenters can be fairly heard.
Call in to the meeting or video conference into the meeting a few minutes before the scheduled start of the meeting to ensure you can resolve any technical issues before the meeting starts. You will initially be in a virtual waiting room and will remain there until the start of the meeting.
You will be muted until it is your turn to speak. While muted, you will be able to hear the Workshop and can continue watching via the remote meeting service if you have connected from a computer or mobile device.
Regardless of whether you participate via phone, computer, or mobile device, please participate from a quiet environment so that the Board can hear you when you are called upon. If you are using the internet to connect to the meeting, try to ensure you have a good connection or strong signal.
It is important to avoid creating acoustic feedback. If there are other devices near you that are tuned into the meeting, please make sure that the speaker volume of those devices is turned down when it is your turn to participate.
Staff will maintain decorum during the meeting as is customary in public meetings, and individuals who are disruptive may be removed from the remote meeting service or have their connection muted.
Other public commenters will be able to see your name (which is not unusual because commenters already must identify themselves for the record before speaking), and if you call in, other commenters will see the last three digits of your phone number unless you have called in anonymously.
Joining the Meeting Remotely if You Want to Participate
Water Board Staff will be using the Zoom meeting service to allow remote participation. Do not use the webcast if you are participating through the Zoom remote service.
To provide oral comments during the workshop, please complete the electronic comment card (virtual speaker card) by 10:30 a.m., November 12, 2025. Use the following link: bit.ly/47CHk1e
If you are unable to access the form, email your request to speak to: WB-RB3-CommentLetters@Waterboards.ca.gov. Please include your name, organization, and either your question or comment.
Participating via Telephone
The Zoom remote meeting service allows individuals to dial from a list of California phone numbers.
You will need to have the Meeting ID from above to join the meeting.
General information about using a phone to participate in a Zoom meeting is available here.
When you are asked to comment during the meeting, the meeting organizer will unmute your phone, but you may also need to press *6 on your phone.
If you want to use your phone to provide comments but follow along with the video presentations (e.g., because you do not have or want to use a computer microphone or camera), you can do so, but the computer or mobile device will need to be connected to the Zoom meeting using the steps below for “Participating via Video Conference.” When connecting to the Zoom meeting through a computer or mobile device select the option that you are participating in by phone call. The Zoom service will give you a participant number that you can then enter on your phone (#[Participant Number]#]).
Participating via Video Conference
State Water Board staff will be using the Zoom remote meeting service for those who want to provide comments. Do not use the webcast if you are participating through the Zoom remote service and only use the Zoom service if you want to speak.
You do not need to create a Zoom account to participate in a Water Board meeting. The Meeting ID and password provided by the Water Board are all you will need to join the meeting, but you will need to enter your name so the Board can identify and unmute you from the speaker queue.
You do not need to install software on your computer to participate. The Zoom service can run within an existing web browser.
Downloading the Zoom software may, however, provide a superior meeting experience for you. You can download the Zoom client in advance at https://zoom.us/download
