CSPA, Coalition Submits Information to Regional Board on Grassland Bypass Project

On 8 September 2014, CSPA and a Coalition of environmental and fishing groups, responding to a request by Central Valley Regional Board Chair Karl Longley, provided information on the estimated reduction in discharges of drainage, salt, selenium and boron from permanent land retirement of the impaired irrigated lands on the Westside of the San Joaquin River basin. The request arose during the coalition’s presentation at an 8 August Regional Board workshop on draft wastes discharge requirements for the Grassland’s Bypass Project. The Coalition also provided additional comments regarding the need to issue a permit for the Panoche Demonstration Treatment Plant.
