Cannabis Cultivation Waste Discharge Regulatory Program
Education and Outreach
Education and Outreach are critical components to water quality protection in the Central Valley. Central Valley Water Board staff will continue to conduct various public meetings and events to educate cannabis cultivators on how to enroll in and comply with the General Order, and how to correctly identify and implement Best Management Practices to protect water resources. If you would like to invite Water Board staff to attend and/or present at an event, please see our Contacts page for contact information.
