Water Board Staff
The primary responsibility of the Water
Board is to protect and enhance the quality of regional
surface water and groundwater for beneficial uses. This
duty is carried out by formulating, adopting, and implementing
water quality plans for specific water bodies, by prescribing
and enforcing requirements on waste dischargers, and
by requiring cleanup of water contamination and pollution.
Specific responsibilities and procedures of the Board
are outlined in the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control
Act. Meetings of the Water Board normally
are held on the third Wednesday of each month in the
Elihu M. Harris State Office Building, First Floor Auditorium,
1515 Clay Street, Oakland. They are scheduled to begin
at 9:00 a.m. The purpose of the meetings is to provide
the Board with an opportunity to receive testimony and
information from concerned and affected parties and
to make decisions after considering the evidence presented.
A public forum is held at the beginning of each general
meeting where persons may speak on matters within the
Board's jurisdiction that are not specific agenda items.
The Board welcomes information on pertinent problems,
but comments at the meeting should be brief and directed
to specifics of the case to enable the Board to take
appropriate action. Written testimony must be received
prior to the Board meeting by the date indicated by
staff. Verbal comments made at the Board meeting should
only summarize the written material. Tape recordings are made of each
Board meeting and these tapes are retained in the Board's
office for two years. Anyone desiring copies of these
tapes may, at their own expense, arrange to have duplicate
tapes made by contacting the Executive Assistant at
(510) 622-2399. A copy of the written transcript may
be obtained by calling California Shorthand Reporting
at (415) 457-4417. CALIFORNIA REGIONAL
