like fish ladders, qualify as aquatic restoration measures whose short-term
contruction effects are insignificant in light of their long-term environmental
benefits. Fish ladders and other aquatic resource habitat improvement
measures should receive favorable permitting/certification/CEQA treatment, so
that they get timely done.</FONT></SPAN>

Proposed Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Policy - Public Workshop Nov 8, 2011: 9
am at the TPUD in Weaverville<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>

<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Hello Trinity River Restoration enthusiasts – <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>This is a reminder that there will be a public workshop on
Nov 8, run by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board, to introduce
their proposed Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Policy. The meeting will be
held at the local Trinity Public Utility District Office on Nov 8 from 9 am
until 11 am. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11.5pt">The goal of the proposed
Aquatic Restoration Policy is to provide greater permitting certainty to those
qualifying Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration Projects (AERPs) that result in a
temporary discharge of waste to waters of the State. </SPAN> The
adoption of this policy by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board
would likely help in getting more restoration work on the ground and may serve
as a template for other California regions to adopt. This could have some
great ramifications for restoring your favorite water course. I have
attached a description of the policy and the Waterboard’s public announcement
. Links to these documents are available from the North Coast Regional
Water Quality Control Board at: <A

<P class=MsoNormal>Please pass this information to others that may be
interested, try to attend, or write a letter to support the
action. NOTE: The comment period has been extended until Nov
18, 2011. <o:p></o:p></P>
