Requesting a Public Record

The State Water Resources Control Board maintains many public records in its files. However, it does not maintain site-specific water quality files. Those can be found at the nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards. If you are looking for such records, please contact the appropriate Regional Board directly. Each Regional Board Website indicates how you can obtain public records from them. You can gain easy access to the Regional Board Websites by clicking on the desired Region on this map.
