05/06/08 BD MEETING – ITEM #8
STAFF CHANGE #1 (CIRCULATED 05/02/08)
CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION REQUIRING SUSTAINABLE WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
9th Paragraph of Discussion moved and reworded as follows:
The State Water Board recognizeds that another an important component of implementing sustainable water resources management is the relationship between energy, water supply, water quality and natural resource protection. The State Water Board is committed to identifying policies and program areas to integrate climate change strategies and comply with the goals stated in Assembly Bill 32 (Chapter 488, Statutes of 2006). On August 23, 2007, the Water Boards and the Department of Water Resources (DWR) jointly hosted a public workshop on climate change, and on September 18, 2007, the Board adopted a climate resolution (Resolution No. 2007-0059). Water Boards’ staff is also working with Air Resources Board staff and other agencies to develop greenhouse gas reduction strategies as part of the California Climate Action Team. On February 19, 2008, the Board approved Resolution No. 2008-0011 directing State Water Board staff to assess the technical feasibility, resources required, and preliminary schedule for implementing selected greenhouse gas emission reduction measures.
10th Paragraph of Discussion moved and reworded as follows:
State Water Board staff is also working with the Air Resources Board, DWR, California Public Utilities Commission, California Energy Commission, and other agencies, as part of the Water-Energy Climate Action Team, to promote water measures that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These measures include water recycling, end use water conservation and efficiency, reducing the energy intensity of water systems (i.e. pumps, treatment), increasing renewable energy production from water and wastewater facilities, and increasing urban water reuse through techniques such as LID. California continues to live beyond its means in water and energy resources. The threats of urban sprawl, climate change, water overdraft, and emerging pollutants require the Water Boards to stretch the scope of traditional water quality control efforts. Sustainable water management means using innovative technology to protect, enhance, and increase the sustainability of watersheds. The Water Boards have initiated sustainable water resource management by beginning to incorporate LID practices and climate change strategies into policies and programs. However, more work is needed to develop a progressive regulatory system that requires sustainable water management.

The "ruled out" sections did not translate.

I'll be in Sacrament to lobby for LID.

The LOSTDEP RECLAMATOR Solution is "LID"...nothing else comes close.

They know we know it...
How about you?
