CENTRAL VALLEY REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD
MEETING PROCEDURES
GENERAL MEETING RULES
The Central Valley Regional Water Quality Contrcl Board (Central Valley Water Board, or Board} and staff welcome
information on issues and matters within the Board's jurisdiction, but comments and submittals at the meeting should be
concise and directed to specifics of the item under discussion to enable the Board to be fully informed and take
appropriate action.
Persons wishing to speak at the meeting are asked to complete an attendance card and provide it to staff. Although filling
out the attendance card is voluntary, we do appreciate receiving a card from al[ persons in attendance.
Any person planning to make a presentation to the Board that requires the use of visual aids (such as overheads, slides,
or video projector) should contact the assigned staff person to make arrangements before the meeting date in order to
avoid unnecessary delays during the meeting.
If the Meeting Procedures in this agenda conflict with a specific Notice of Public Hearing or Hearing Procedures
for a specific item, the Notice of Public Hearing or specific Hearing Procedures will control.
All interested persons may speak at the Board meeting, and are expected to orally summarize their written submittals.
Testimony and policy statements should be presented in writing prior to the meeting and only a summary of pertinent
points presented orally. Oral presentations (e.g., direct testimony, policy comments, cross examination and closing
statements) will be limited in time by the Board Chair. A timer may be used and speakers are expected to honor the time
limits. Oral presentations must be relevant. Where speakers can be grouped by affiliation or interest, such groups will be
expected to select a spokesperson and not be repetitive. The Board will accommodate spokespersons by granting
additional time if other group members will not also be speaking.
Any person may submit comments in writing on any agenda item. Written comments shall not be read into the record
unless allowed by the Board Chair. Persons who want to submit written materials for any agenda item must provide such .
written documents to the Board office in advance of the meeting, which must be by the date and time specified in the
applicable Notice of Public Hearing andlor Hearing Procedures. Materials received by the deadline and in compliance
with the Notice of Public Hearing andlor Hearing Procedures will be included in the administrative record. Staff may
provide written responses to comments. Late written materials will not be provided to Board members or included in the
administrative record, unless the Chair allows the late submission. A party requesting to submit late materials must
demonstrate good cause for the late submission, and the Chair must find that the late submission would not prejudice the
Central Va[[ey Water Board or any designated party. The Chair may modify this rule if a party shows severe hardship.
Late submissions that consist of evidence (as opposed to policy statemen#s) will generally be deemed prejudicial unless
all designated parties and Board staff have time to consider the evidence before fire meeting. Written materials or other
documents submitted at the Board meeting must be provided first to Board counsel who will advise the Board regarding
acceptance into the record.
PROCEDURE FOR UNCONTESTED (CONSENT} AGENDA ITEMS (see also 23 CCR 647.2(f)}
Uncontested or consent agenda items are items for which there appears to be no controversy and which can be acted
upon 6y the Board with limited or no discussion. Such items have been properly noticed and all interested parties consent
to the staff recommendation. The Board Chair will recognize late revisions submitted by staff and will then call for a
motion and vote by the Board.
If any Board member or member of the public raises a question or issue regarding the item that requires Board
discussion, the item may be removed from the consent calendar and considered in its numerical order on the agenda, or
in an order determined by the Board Chair. Anyone wishing to contest a consent item on the agenda must appear in
person at the Board meeting and explain to the Board the reason the item is contested.
PROCEDURE FOR INFORMATION ITEMS (see also 23 CCR 649 et.seq.)
Information items are items presented to the Board for discussion only and for which no Board action or vote is taken.
The Board may, however, provide direction to staff. The Board usually will hear a presentation by staff, and comments by
Meeting Procedures 1 Updated January, 2012
interested persons shall also be allowed. Members of the public wishing to address the Board on the topic under
discussion should submit an attendance card beforehand indicating their request to speak to the Board. Time limits may
be imposed on interested persons.
PROCEDURE FOR ACTION ITEMS (see also 23 CCR 649 etseq.)
Contested agenda items are items to which the parties involved have not consented and the staff recommendation is in
dispute. The procedure #hat applies to such items depends on the nature of the matter. Matters before the Board may be
quasi-legislative orquasi-judicial {adjudicative proceedings}. Such items may require a public hearing and all interested
persons will be provided an opportunity to make comments.
Contested agenda items that are adjudicative, not quasi legislative, are governed by the rules for adjudicative
proceedings. The regulations setting forth the procedures for adjudicative proceedings are codified in Title 23 California
Code of Regulations Division 3. Adjudicative proceedings before the Central Valley Water Board are governed by these
regulations as authorized by chapter 4.5 of the Administrative Procedure Act (commencing with section 11400 of the
Government Code). The regulations provide that, with certain exceptions, adjudicative proceedings will be conducted in
accordance with sections 800-805 of the Evidence Code and section '[ 1513 of Chapter 5 of the Government Cade. (Other
provisions of chapter 5 do not apply). A copy of those regulations and chapter 4.5 of the Administrative Procedure Act,
section 11593 of the Government Code, and sections 801-805 of the Evidence Code can be found at
httpa/www.waterboards.ca.govllaws _regulationsl
An adjudicative proceeding is a hearing to receive evidence for determination of facts pursuant to which the Baard
formulates and issues a decision. A decision determines a legal right, duty, privilege, immunity, or other legal interest of a
particular person or persons. Examples of adjudicative proceedings include hearings to receive. evidence concerning the
issuance of.waste discharge requirements or National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System {NPDES} permits;
concerning cease and desist orders; and concerning orders setting administrative civil .liability.. Adjudicative hearings are
not conducted according to the technical rules of evidence, and the Board will accept any evidence or testimony that is
reasonably relevant. The Notice of Public Hearing will set for the process for the hearing.
All persons testifying must state their name, address, affiliation, and whether they have taken the oath before testifying.
PROCEDURE FOR CONTESTED HEARINGS IN ADJUDICATIVE MATTI=RS (WASTE DISCHARGE OR WATER
RECYCI_1NG REQUIREMENTS, NPDES PERMITS AND.INVESTIGAT[ON OR 1=NFORCEMENT ORDERS [CWC §§
132G7, 13300-13308, 13383])
All persons interested in a specific item should consult the Hearing Procedures issued for that item to see if any of the
following information is inapplicable. Contact Board staff if you do not know whether there are Hearing Procedures for the
item or if you need a copy. If the following conflicts with a specific Notice of Public Hearing or Hearing Procedures, the
Notice of Public Hearing or specific Hearing Procedures will control. All administrative civil liability orders are subject to
specific Hearing Procedures.
Designated parties may request these procedures: #o call and examine witnesses; to have witnesses testify under oath; to
receive a witness fist from other designated parties; to introduce exhibits; to cross-examine opposing witnesses; to
impeach any witness; to rebut the evidence against him or her; to make or oppose evidentiary objections; to make
opening or closing statements; or to have a prehearing conference with the Board`s advisors. A request for these hearing
procedures must be received by the Executive Officer at least five working days before the hearing, and must specify the
procedures the designated party is requesting.
Designated parties are any persons named in the proposed order. All other persons wishing to address the Board or
provide comments are interested persons and not designated parties. Such interested persons may request status as a
designated party for purposes of an item by submitting such request in writing to staff assigned to the matter, no later than
two weeks after the draft order is available for public comment. The request must explain the basis for status as a
designated party and, in particular, how the person is directly affected by the discharge.
Central Valley Water Board staff will designate a prosecution team to serve as a designated party for prosecutorial
matters, such as administrative civil liability. Advisory staff in prosecutorial matters, and all staff in non-prosecutorial
matters, are not designated parties but are present to assist the Baard.
The order of testimony for adjudicative hearings generally will be as follows, unless modified by the Board Chair:
• Testimony (and cross-examination, if provided) of Board staff
Meeting Procedures 2 Updated ,lanuary, 2012
• Testimony (and cross_examination, if provided} of discharger
• Testimony {and cross-examination, if provided) of other designated parties
• Statements of interested persons
• Closing statement by designated parties other than discharger
• Closing statement by discharger
• Closing statement by staff
• Recommendation by Executive Officer (as appropriate)
• Close hearing
Deliberation and voting by Board
Closing statements shall be for the purpose of summarization and rebuttal, and are not to be used to introduce new
evidence or testimony, or to restate direct testimony. After considering evidence, testimony, and comments, the Regional
Board may choose to adopt an order regarding a proposed agenda item. Persons wishing to introduce exhibits (i.e.,
maps, charts, photographs) must leave them with the Board's Assistant Executive Officer. If you plan to use visual aids
such as PowerPoint slides, contact staff prior to the meeting to arrange for equipment set-up. You must provide a printed
or electronic copy of any visual aids. Photographs or slides of large exhibits are acceptable.
All Board files, exhibits, and agenda material pertaining to adjudicative proceedings on the agenda are hereby made a
part of the record.
OTHER INFORMATION
Quasi-legislative matters include rulemaking and some informational proceedings. These matters may include hearings
for the adoption or amendment of regulations; water quality control plans or state policy for water quality control and
hearings to gather information to assist the Board in formulating policy for future action. They are not adjudicative
proceedings and are subject to different procedures. (See PROCEDURE 1=0R ACTION ITEMS, above, and Cal. Code
