Groundwater Quality Protection Strategy for the Central Valley Region

On 4 December 2008, the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted Resolution No. R5-2008-0181 in support of Developing a Groundwater Strategy for the Central Valley Region. The resolution directed staff to develop a long-term strategy that will identify high priority activities, recognize the water boards core responsibilities and existing commitments; and build on existing processes. The Central Valley Water Board recognized the importance of a collaborative planning process and conducted outreach with stakeholders throughout the development of the strategy.

The Groundwater Quality Protection Strategy for the Central Valley Region, a Roadmap was approved by the Central Valley Water Board at the September 2010 meeting (Resolution R5-2010-0095). Following approval a workplan was developed to address each of the high priority actions for the period of June 2011 through June 2013. A second workplan was approved for the period of June 2013-2015 which included high priority actions not completed during the 2011-2013 period and medium priority actions.

Status reports on the implementation of the strategy workplans are included in every Executive Officer’s Report.
