By February 15, 2016, private properties with 2000 square feet or more of cultivated area of cannabis* must be enrolled for coverage under a new water quality regulatory program, either directly with the Regional Water Board, or via an approved third party program.
Staff of the Regional Water Board are hosting a clinic to answer questions and assist cannabis growers with enrollment for coverage under Order No. R1-2015-0023, Waiver of Waste Discharge Requirements and General Water Quality Certification for Discharges of Waste Resulting from Cannabis Cultivation and Associated Activities or Operations with Similar Environmental Effects in the North Coast Region.
The clinic is designed to offer growers and other interested parties information and assistance:

– Guidance on determining whether enrollment is required
– General questions about the Order
– Information on how to file enrollments
– Information on the Order’s tiers
– Information on third party programs
– Assistance in preparing the enrollment package (Notice of Intent and the Monitoring and Reporting Program)

Growers may bring site maps, sketches, images, or other information for discussion
