Well, the never-ending rainstorms finally stopped over most of California this past month, but water supply reliability and water quality protection issues never take a day off. As we move into 2023, the State Water Board and a group of public and private stormwater stakeholders—known as the Construction General Permit (CGP) Training Team--are developing a new, updated training program for complying with the revised CGP for stormwater.

Happy New Year from CICWQ. What a deluge of rain we have had throughout California since we last wrote to you in December. We hope everyone is OK and that your families and friends’ homes and properties stayed safe during the wettest period on record we’ve had in California in many years.

We would like to take this time to thank our members and partner organizations that have tremendously helped in our advocacy effort in 2022. Without your staff and membership support, CICWQ would not be able to accomplish our missions and goals each year.
