Brief Background of CA Recycled Water Policy Salt-Nutrient (S-N) Plan requirements How we are working with the IRWM groups in our Region for S-N planning Status of S-N Plans
Goal is to increase the use of recycled water while protecting water quality Goal is to increase the use of recycled water while protecting water quality
Promote sustainable local water supply Increase use by one million acre-feet per year by 2020 & at least two million acre-feet per year by 2030. Priority funding for recycled water projects and storm water use projects
Provides shorter review and processing for permits Provides shorter review and processing for permits Provides uniform interpretation of statutes, regulations, and policies Clarifies the roles of State Agencies
CECs – what and why? CECs – what and why? Advisory Panel, Report and Public Meetings Completed in 2010 CECs amendment to Recycled Water Policy in 2012 CECs in S-N Plans
Salts and Nutrients – what and why? Salts and Nutrients – what and why? Regional impacts, thus regional evaluation of groundwater and regional management plan Locally driven, controlled and funded by water & wastewater entities, together with local salt/nutrient contributing stakeholders Plans for all basin in the state by May 14, 2014 + 2 year extension
Size and Complexity of basin Source water quality Storm water recharge Hydrogeology Aquifer water quality Watershed scale activities and stressors May include other constituents
Basin-wide monitoring plan for salts, nutrients and other constituents Annual monitoring of CECs Goals and objectives for water recycling and stormwater recharge/use Source identification, assimilative capacity, loading estimates, fate and transport Implementation measures to manage loading on a sustainable basis Antidegradation analysis
Participation by Regional Board staff Participation by Regional Board staff Basin Plan amendment
Staff participation Regional Board members agree on S-N plan scope/concept prior to its completion (e.g. presentation of workplan outline at Regional Board meeting) Focus future Regional Board review on plan content & not on scope of effort

Will address in groups as appropriate Will address in groups as appropriate Reduce the burden on rural communities in the more remote parts of our Region while encouraging water recycling & protecting groundwater quality
No dedicated staff funding How to implement plans Few future funding sources 300+ “non-priority” basins Many DACs
