2001 Budget Analysis:State Water Resources 
$8.1 million to control stormwater runoff, (3) $3.2 million to improve information management, and (4) $3 million for research and monitoring to improve
Lake Tahoe water quality. In addition, the budget proposes $9.6 million to continue, and augment, a one-time increase in the current year to reduce backlogs in
permit updates and increase inspections. Finally, the budget proposes a reduction of $52.6 million for local projects funded from
Propositions 13 and 204 bond funds.
The TMDL Program: Major Consequences If Board Does Not Work Better and Faster 
The Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program implements a federal requirement to address pollution in the state's most seriously impaired water
bodies. The state lags in developing TMDLs (plans that allocate responsibility for reducing pollution), has no long-term work plan, and is spending ten
times the national average to develop each plan. The slow pace of developing TMDLs delays water quality improvements and may result in a loss of both
federal funds and state control over aspects of water quality regulation.
We have identified a number of efficiencies and improvements that can be made in the TMDL program. We also recommend that the State Water
Resources Control Board develop a long-term plan for the program in order that funding requirements can be evaluated. 
Background 
What Are TMDLs? Federal law enacted in 1972 requires states to periodically compile lists of water bodies that, in spite of controls on point sources of
pollution, are failing to meet water quality standards. Point sources of pollution are those sources that discharge waste directly into water bodies (such as rivers,
lakes, and streams), and include wastewater treatment plants and factory pipes. In contrast, nonpoint source pollution is created when water picks up
contaminants from pesticide use, mining, logging, and other sources and deposits them in water bodies.
States are required to develop plans—called Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs)—to meet water quality standards in the impaired water bodies that have been
listed. A TMDL is developed for each pollutant contributing to the impairment of a listed water body.

SAFER Drinking Water
Since 2019, the State Water Resources Control Board's Safe and Affordable Funding for Equity and Resilience (SAFER) program has been working with partners to make access to safe and affordable drinking water a reality to all Californians. Disadvantaged communities, like Moss Landing, have nitrate issues in their well water. Moss Landing resident and activist Ignacio Garcia tells how the Water Boards and partners helped him get his well tested and provided bottled water once it was established that his well had high level of nitrates.

FAQs • San Bruno, CA • CivicEngage
How is the stormwater system connected to health and safety issues?

Properly maintained stormwater infrastructure protects local properties from expensive flooding and water damage while also protecting the San Bruno Channel, the San Francisco Bay, and local water supplies from contamination. To prevent obstruction of local emergency response, it is critical that long-term repairs to our stormwater system continue to be made on a timely basis. 

3.
How old is San Bruno's stormwater system?

Much of San Bruno's aging stormwater system has been in use since the early 1900s. Upgrading and properly maintaining our local system will prevent public safety hazards caused by system failure, landslides, sinkholes and flooding while protecting local waterways and property. 

4.
What has the community said about local stormwater system needs?

We have received over 700 responses to our recent invitation to hear community input about our local stormwater issues. Below are the top priorities we have heard to date:Repair deteriorating pipes and infrastructure to prevent system failure and sinkholesProtect water quality in local creeks and reservoirsReduce pollutants flowing into the Bay and soil erosionPrevent flooding that obstructs residents, police, and emergency response 

5.
How does the proposed Storm Drainage and Flood Protection Fee affect my property?

The proposed fee methodology calculation that was included in the Storm Drainage and Flood Protection Fee report can be viewed by entering your 9-digit Assessor Parcel Number (APN) without spaces or dashes on our Stormwater Fees page.If you don't know your APN, you can easily obtain it through the County of San Mateo Planning and Building Map Viewer. 

6.
How can these stormwater system needs be addressed?

Unfortunately, the City is able to make only emergency repairs without adequate funding to address critical upgrades to the aging stormwater system. We also know now is the time to live within our means.

2001 Budget Analysis:State Water Resources 
It is the intent of the Legislature that the State Water Resources Control Board regularly evaluate the effectiveness of its Management Agency Agreements
(MAAs) with the Department of Pesticide Regulation and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection in addressing pesticide-related and
forestry-related water quality issues, respectively, in the context of the state's Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) program. The board shall submit a report
with its initial evaluation of these MAAs to the Legislature by January 1, 2002.
Make Organizational Improvements. Finally, PAG has made a number of recommendations for organizational changes in order for the state and regional
boards to improve the program's accountability and efficiency. For example, SWRCB could establish "strike forces"of staff who are technical experts on some
of the leading TMDL pollutants (such as metals and sedimentation). These strike forces could rotate among regional boards to assist with TMDL development.
To ensure that these organizational improvements are made, we recommend that the Legislature adopt the following supplemental report language:
The State Water Resources Control Board shall report to the Legislature by January 1, 2002 on the status of implementing organizational improvements to the
Total Maximum Daily Load program recommended by the public advisory group formed pursuant to Chapter 495, Statutes of 1999 (AB 982, Ducheny).
Long-Term Work Plan and Funding Requirements Analysis 
We recommend the enactment of legislation requiring the board to develop a ten-year work plan for Total Maximum Daily Load development, including
an analysis of funding requirements. 
In the previous sections, we have identified improvements that can be made to the TMDL program without additional resources. In this section, we have
identified other improvements, specifically for ambient water quality monitoring and for staff training, that should be addressed if TMDLs are to be developed
in a timely manner. Such improvements are likely to require additional funds. However, as discussed below, the lack of a long-term work plan for the TMDL
program means that total long-term funding requirements for the TMDL program are not known.
Funding for Ambient Water Quality Monitoring. The TMDL program requires comprehensive, up-to-date water quality monitoring data for several reasons.
Exposure To Burn Pits And Other Specific Environmental Hazards | Veterans Affairs
Burn pits and other toxic exposures in Afghanistan, Iraq, and certain other areas 
A large sulfur fire at Mishraq State Sulfur Mine near Mosul, Iraq
Hexavalent chromium at the Qarmat Ali water treatment plant in Basra, Iraq
Pollutants from a waste incinerator near the Naval Air Facility at Atsugi, Japan

Note: Getting a disability rating may also make you eligible for VA health care and other benefits.
Keep reading to learn more about the conditions we’ve determined are connected to burn pit and other toxins in Afghanistan, Iraq, and certain other areas. We call these presumptive conditions. 

 What does it mean to have a presumptive condition for toxic exposure?
 

To get a VA disability rating, your disability must connect to your military service. For many health conditions, you need to prove that your service caused your condition. 
But for some conditions, we automatically assume (or “presume”) that your service caused your condition. We call these “presumptive conditions.”
We consider a condition presumptive when it’s established by law or regulation.
If you have a presumptive condition, you don’t need to prove that your service caused the condition. You only need to meet the service requirements for the presumption.

 What burn pit and other toxic exposure conditions are now presumptive?
 

We’ve added more than 20 burn pit and other toxic exposure presumptive conditions based on the PACT Act. The full name of the law is the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics (PACT) Act of 2022. This change expands benefits for Gulf War era and post-9/11 Veterans.
