SUMMARY:  On March 4 2020, the District received a letter from the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) asking the District a number of questions regarding Water Rights 20808 held by the District.   The letter provided a history of the 20808 Water Right(s) and described the process in which the water right was split into 3 separate water rights.  The letter asked two specific questions regarding Water Right 20808B and outlines a few important dates related to Water Rights 20808 A and C.  

At its April 20, 2020 meeting the District Board reviewed the letter, heard staff propose a framework for a response, and authorized a response to be sent. That response letter is attached as Exhibit 2-A.

Staff has further evaluated a strategy for the water rights and prepared a Technical Memorandum attached as Exhibit 2-B, for discussion by the Committee at its August 3, 2020 meeting.
