Representatives from the Yuba Water Agency plan to meet with members of the State Water Resources Control Board today to discuss certain requirements imposed by a recent water quality certification that is expected to cost the agency anywhere from $500 million to $1 billion to implement in order to continue operations along the Yuba River, which resulted in Yuba Water filing a lawsuit in both state and federal court in November.
The State Water Board is considering an amendment to clarify some language in the certification, which is the item that will be discussed at todayâs board meeting. Yuba Water General Manager Willie Whittlesey said itâs possible that the amendment is trying to set up an argument that can be used in court that both of the agencyâs lawsuits should be dismissed, and that it addresses a need â allowing additional time to file petitions for reconsideration of the certification â that doesnât exist.
