Biostimulatory Substances/Biological Integrity Stakeholder Advisory Group
Stakeholder Advisory Group
The Stakeholder Advisory Group (SAG) will advise the State Water Board staff on development of the nutrient control program and program to assess biological integrity. Stakeholders will be organized by interest group (environmental advocates, sanitary agencies, etc.) and each group will choose a representative. This representative will communicate the goals, technical and policy issues associated with the development of the nutrient control program to other interested stakeholders within their group. The representative will then communicate their interest group's comments back to the SAG.
An independent facilitator will represent the views of the SAG to the Science Panel and Regulatory Groups. The goal here is to ensure that overall stakeholder input is incorporated into the technical and policy elements throughout this process, empowering the Stakeholder Advisory Group to play a key role in advising the State Water Board.
