Governor's Executive Orders N-7-23 & N-4-23 For Flood Diversion
All diverters that began diverting by June 1, 2023, under EO N-4-23, do not need to file a new initial report. For your final report, please use the approved form for N-4-23. Please submit your final report by September 15, 2023.
If diversion began after June 1, 2023, and diversion qualifies under the conditions of EO N-7-23, please use the approved N-7-23 form for initial and final reporting. Please submit your final report by September 15, 2023.
You may qualify to divert flood waters under EO N-7-23:
Any diversion of floodwaters directly from the (i) Tulare Lake Basin or rivers or streams or bypasses flooding the Tulare Lake Basin or (ii) the San Joaquin River or San Joaquin River tributaries (including Fresno Slough and James Bypass) or San Joaquin River bypasses must occur between March 31, 2023, and August 31, 2023, for flood management purposes.
All authorized flood flow diverters must file two reports with the board:
(1) an initial report within 14 days of initial diversions and
(2) a final report by June 15, 2023 (if diversion ends before June 1st) and September 15, 2023 (diversion ends after June 1st).
The reports must identify the diverter and include the conditions that triggered the diversions, the point of diversion, the flooded area, when diversions occurred and ceased, and the amount of water diverted.
Reports must be completed using the appropriate fillable forms and then emailed to FloodDiversion@waterboards.ca.gov
All flood diversion reports received pursuant to EO N-7-23 and N-4-23 will be posted on this webpage.
