Bacteria Workgroup Meetings

The San Diego Water Board staff actively participates in monthly stakeholder work group meetings to examine issues related to the bacteria water quality objectives for surface waters. This Bacteria Workgroup meets to discuss various technical studies that are currently underway. The results of these studies may inform the selection of pathogen indicators, objectives, and/or policy decisions. The stakeholder group includes representatives from the City of San Diego, County of Orange, and the County of San Diego.

Bacteria TMDL Cost Benefit Analysis Meetings

This work group is a subset of the larger Bacteria Workgroup established to discuss development of an analysis of the costs and benefits of complying with the San Diego Water Board's REC-1 water quality objectives. The specific focus is on the feasibility of meeting wet weather TMDL water quality objectives for bacterial indicators. The stakeholder work group includes representatives from the City of San Diego, County of Orange, County of San Diego, and their consultants.
