North Coast Water Board Program Priorities

In advance of each fiscal year (July 1 through June 30), the North Coast Water Board’s program staff conduct annual work planning to identify priorities, assess available resources, and set expectations regarding the scope and timing of work products. In addition to its importance as a planning tool, this process is also intended to provide transparency to the Board and interested public regarding planned priorities.

This page provides a brief overview of each program, key staff contact(s) for that program, and a list of the program’s priorities/planned work for fiscal year 2025-26.

The North Coast Water Board reports program performance via the California Water Boards' Annual Performance Report. This report, produced in late summer/early fall for the recently-concluded fiscal year, is an interactive web-based platform. The most recent report can be found here: 2023-24 Performance Report | California State Water Resources Control Board.
