UFRWG had a representative involved in this workgroup. Several alternative proposals were submitted by the different representatives. From those proposals Regional Board Staff developed five alternatives to be included in the EIR. The current phase of the Long Term ILRP development process is drafting an Economic Analysis. Inclusion of Ground Water regulations into the current Surface Water program will likely impact the cost and structure of the current program. 2008 UFRW Meetings Irrigated Lands Stakeholder Meetings December 4, 2008 Quincy Fairgrounds Last Prop 50 Meeting !!
