Water Quality Regulatory Affairs
CICWQ engages and communicates with regulators and policy-makers at California’s state, county, and municipal government levels, working closely with cities, public works agencies, and water, sewer, and flood control districts and utilities on areas of common interest affecting water quality regulatory and policy-making actions.
Our Resources
Our resource page shares articles and content about some of the collaborative efforts CICWQ has built with local public works agencies. We address critical needs in water quality permit implementation, such as the development of regional, multi-benefit stormwater capture projects. CICWQ also collects and analyzes cost of implementation data on the use of Low Impact Development stormwater best management practices.
Below are links and contact information of critical state and regional water quality control boards in California that regulate the construction and property development industries. We included quick and easy access to several county-level, municipal, and special-purpose utility (water-sewer-flood) agencies.
