Comment Letter – Proposed SWRCB Bacteria Provisions

Dear Ms. Townsend:

The Central Valley Clean Water Association (CVCWA) appreciates the opportunity to provide written comments on the State Water Resources Control Board’s (State Water Board’s) proposed Part 3 of the Water Quality Control Plan for Inland Surface Waters, Enclosed Bays, and Estuaries of California (ISWEBE)—Bacteria Provisions and a Water Quality Standards Variance Policy (Bacteria Provisions). CVCWA is a non-profit association of public agencies located within the Central Valley region that provide wastewater collection, treatment, and water recycling services to millions of Central Valley residents and businesses. We approach these matters with the perspective of balancing environmental and economic interests consistent with state and federal law.
