Mono Lake Basin
Monitoring Program
In Decision 1631, the State Water Board modified Licenses 10191 and 10192 for the purpose of establishing instream flow requirements below Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s points of diversion on four affected streams, which are tributaries to Mono Lake. The decision also established conditions to protect public trust resources at Mono Lake. Subsequent Orders WR 98-05 and WR 98-07 amended Decision 1631. Pursuant to the State Water Board determinations, the Licensee is required to undertake restoration and monitoring activities to be in compliance with the terms and conditions of its licenses.
