State Water Resources Control Board Deny Petitions for Reconsideration of Water Rights Order No. 2016-0016 Filed by Ratepayers Association of the Monterey Peninsula (WRAMP, aka Water Plus) & Public Trust Alliance

ABSTRACT: On Tuesday, November 1, 2016, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted the proposed Order Denying Petitions for Reconsideration of Water Rights Order No. 2016-0016, adopted by the Board on July 19, 2016, filed by Ratepayers Association of the Monterey Peninsula (WRAMP, aka Water Plus) and Public Trust Alliance. "Order WR 2016-0016 extends the date by which Cal-Am must cease its unauthorized Carmel River diversions from December 2016 to December 2021 and sets a maximum diversion limit of 8,310 acre-feet, subject to further reductions of 1,000 acre-feet should Cal-Am not satisfy specific milestone dates for construction of, and thence use of water from, a desalination project and a recycled water project (Pure Water Monterey)." (DRAFT) CONCLUSION For the reasons stated above, the State Water Board finds that State Water Board Order WR 2016-0016 was appropriate and proper, and denies the petitions for reconsideration. To the extent that the petitions for reconsideration purported to raise issues not addressed in this order, the State Water Board finds that the issues do not raise substantial issues related to the causes for reconsideration enumerated in California Code of Regulations, title 23, section 768. ORDER IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the petitions for reconsideration are denied.
