Discussion Items

1.         Discuss Priorities for Public Outreach Related to April 22, 2010 Decision of Santa Clara County Superior Court to Lift the Stay on State Water Resource Control Board Cease and Desist Order No. WR 2009-0060

            The committee discussed the issue and requested that staff develop a document that lists frequently asked questions regarding the Cease and Desist Order (CDO), including responses. The document should be prepared immediately and posted on the District’s website.  The committee also suggested that staff contact the State Water Resources Control Board and request clarification of enumerated item 2, on page 57 of the CDO, “Cal-Am shall not divert water from the Carmel River for new service connections or for any increased use of water at existing service addresses resulting from a change in zoning or use.”   Staff could also meet with California-American Water to determine how they interpret that section of the CDO.

 

Other Items

No other issues were discussed.
