Earlier this year, the California State Water Board committed to consider convening a second Agricultural Expert Panel, and on May 13 draft questions were released for public comment. This included a request for areas of expertise and a call for materials for the proposed expert panel to consider.
The final questions to be posed to the second Agricultural Expert Panel, in response to comments received, and a staff report on an analysis of available irrigation and nitrogen management data are now available for review online on the Water Board’s Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program site.
According to the State Water Board, additional information related to the development and convening of the second Agricultural Expert Panel will be posted on that Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program webpage as details become available.
