Public Notice for Salton Sea Management Program Workshop

The State Water Board will be holding its annual workshop on the status of the California Natural Resources Agency’s Salton Sea Management Program (SSMP). The workshop will take place during the State Water Board’s regularly scheduled meeting on May 16, 2023, from 12:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m., and May 17, 2023, from 5:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. Before the annual workshop, California Natural Resources Agency will also host a public pre-workshop to provide details on their annual report and program updates. The date is still being determined, check saltonsea.ca.gov for updates.

Every year, the California Natural Resources Agency provides an update to the State Water Board on the progress that has been made on their Salton Sea Management Program. The workshop is an opportunity for participants to provide input to the State Water Board regarding the status of the Salton Sea Management Program. Input can be provided by submitting written comments or providing oral comments on either day of the workshop. Both workshop days will offer Spanish interpretation and translated materials.

Both meeting days will offer four simultaneous options for participation:

• Physical meeting location at Imperial Valley College
• Remote viewing location at North Shore Beach and Yacht Club
• Virtual participation option through Zoom, and
• Watch-only webcast option.

The State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) and the nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards (Regional Water Boards) - collectively known as the California Water Boards - are dedicated to a single vision: abundant clean water for human uses and environmental protection to sustain California's future.

Under the federal Clean Water Act (CWA) and the state's pioneering Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, the State and Regional Water Boards have regulatory responsibility for protecting the water quality of nearly 1.6 million acres of lakes, 1.3 million acres of bays and estuaries, 211,000 miles of rivers and streams, and about 1,100 miles of exquisite California coastline.
