The site contains the Hearing Notice and the tentative Basin Plan Amendments (BPAs). The Regional Board and Calleguas Creek Watershed Management Plan (CWMP) worked on the BPAs together, but they are ultimately Regional Board documents. The site contains two technical reports submitted by the CWMP and two by the Regional Board.
Below is a notice of a public workshop on various TMDLs to be held by the Regional Board on May 5th.
Mission Statement
The Calleguas Creek Watershed Management Plan (WMP or Plan), with broad stakeholder participation and support, addresses a long range comprehensive water resources; land use; economic development; open space preservation, enhancement and management; and public facility provision strategy which is cost-effective and provides benefits for all participants. A key element of the Plan is a series of action recommendations developed by participants to address Watershed-wide issues and needs in the categories described above. Another primary goal of the Plan has been to examine existing data, and to acquire and develop the new data necessary to produce an accurate characterization of the Watershed and enable participants to develop action recommendations based on dependable technology and good science.
