I received a Notice of Determination invoice from BOE related to a USBR identification account number. What is this account, and why am I paying a water right fee for this account?
A. The account number (USBR ####) is a BOE account number related to a United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) water supply contract. Under Water Code sections 1540 and 1560, if the SWRCB determines that a fee payer such as the USBR is likely to decline to pay a fee or expense based on a claim of sovereign immunity, then the SWRCB may allocate the fees due to that fee payer\’s water right supply contractors. In this instance, the SWRCB prorated the USBR\’s fees among its water supply contractors and sent invoices to the contractors for those amounts.
