Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
				  Prior to circulating the draft Substitute Environmental Documentation described
				  in section
				  3777, the board shall seek early
				  public consultation. Early public consultation may include one or more scoping
				  meetings.
(b) The purpose of a
				  scoping meeting is to seek input from public agencies and members of the public
				  on the range of project actions, alternatives, reasonably foreseeable methods
				  of compliance, significant impacts to be analyzed, cumulative impacts if any,
				  and mitigation measures that will reduce impacts to a less than significant
				  level; and to eliminate from detailed study issues found not to be important.
				  Scoping may also assist in resolving concerns of affected federal, state, and
				  local agencies, the proponent of the action, and other interested
				  persons.
(c) Scoping meetings
				  should be held in the watershed or general vicinity of where the project is to
				  take place, if practicable. The board shall give notice of the time and
				  location of the scoping meeting at least 10 days in advance of the meeting.
				  Notice of a scoping meeting shall be posted on the board's website and should
				  be provided to all of the following:
(1) Any
				  county or city where the project is located;
(2) Any public agency that has jurisdiction
				  by law with respect to the project; and
(3) Any organization or individual who has
				  filed a written request for the notice.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The
				  state board shall be the lead agency with respect to its adoption or revision
				  of any state policy for water quality control or other plans, policies, or
				  regulations that it adopts or revises.
(b) The regional board shall be the lead
				  agency with respect to adoption or amendment of any of its regional water
				  quality control plans or guidelines, as described in Water Code sections
				  13240 through
				  13244 and
				  13245.5.
				  Substitute environmental documentation adopted or approved by the regional
				  board is final upon such adoption or approval, subject to subdivision (d),
				  below. The Notice of Decision shall be filed upon approval of the regional
				  water quality control plan or guidelines by the state board, and if applicable,
				  the Office of Administrative Law.
(c) Pursuant to its approval authority under
				  Water Code sections
				  13245 through
				  13246, the
				  state board shall review the substitute environmental documentation of the
				  regional board, and consider the regional board's findings under section
				  3777 subdivisions (d), (e), and
				  (f) . The state board may make its own findings, or may incorporate by
				  reference the regional board's findings.
(d) Notwithstanding subdivision (c), above,
				  the state board shall become the lead agency if, following resubmission of a
				  regional water quality control plan or revision thereof that it has previously
				  returned to the regional board for reconsideration, the state board revises and
				  approves such plan pursuant to Water Code section
				  13245. In such
				  event, the state board need not duplicate the CEQA processes performed by the
				  regional board, and need not recirculate the substitute environmental
				  documentation prepared by the regional board unless recirculation would be
				  required pursuant to California Code of Regulations, title 14, section
				  15088.5.
