MEETING PROCEDURES
The Central Valley Water Board circulates item -specific Notices and/or Hearing Procedures
along with drafts of its Orders and Amendments. If there is a conflict between an item -specific
Notice or Hearing Procedure and the Meeting Procedures in this Agenda, the item -specific
Notice or Hearing Procedure will control. Please contact Board staff if you do not know whether
there is a Notice or Hearing Procedure for a specific item.
The statutes and regulations that govern the Central Valley Water Board's meetings can be found

All persons may speak at a Central Valley Water Board meeting, and are expected to orally summarize
their written submittals. Oral presentations will be limited in time by the Board Chair, and a timer may
be used. Where speakers can be grouped by affiliation or interest, such groups are expected to select a
spokesperson and to not be repetitive. The Board will accommodate spokespersons by granting
additional time if other group members will not also be speaking.
Written materials that are received after deadlines set by item -specific Notices and/or Hearing
Procedures will not generally be admitted. Any person requesting to submit late materials must
demonstrate good cause, and the Chair must find that the admission of the late materials would not

avoid severe hardship.

respect to such policies, reports, orders, plans, or findings, or to adopt such policies, reports, orders
