What are the next steps in the policy development process?
Once the public comment period closes, State Water Board staff will review and consider the comments received. Staff may make revisions to the draft policy based on the review of the written comments. Any revised documents and staff’s response to comments document will be prepared and circulated with the State Water Board agenda package for the State Water Board meeting at which the adoption of the draft policy will be considered. Individuals will be provided the opportunity to contribute oral comments during the State Water Board adoption meeting.
