Environmental Impact Report on Ground Water Quality

Recently, The Watershed Coalition Newsletter Produced by the Central Valley Regional Water Board produced a newsletter dealing with the upcoming groundwater regulations.

The newsletter highlights the program options that the board is considering in the coming regulations to help protect groundwater. Options 3,4, and 5 will require a farm management plan in regards to application of irrigation water. These plans include just about every aspect of soil, nutrient, and water management/protection. Option 4 will require the use of all pesticides and fertilizers to be reported and justified.

I encourage you all to read the letter and provide input to your local water quality coalition.
