HB 2574 Surface water management area voluntary agreements.
Introduced by: Viola D. Baskerville | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Surface water management area voluntary agreements. Provides that voluntary agreements among water users in a surface water management area control in lieu of a permit issued by the State Water Control Board (SWCB) when the SWCB finds that the agreement complies with the surface water management area law. The bill requires the Board to hold a public hearing prior to approving the agreement and to become a party to the agreement. The public participation procedure for the amendment of such an agreement by the SWCB is changed from one under the Administrative Process Act to one that requires a public hearing. Notice for a public hearing must be provided 60 days in advance to the general public, to those withdrawing water and to recreational user groups, conservation organizations and fisheries management agencies. There is also a technical amendment.
