The State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) is holding several upcoming working group sessions for the Second Statewide Agricultural Expert Panel. The Panel will be discussing, evaluating and taking testimony regarding – among other regulatory issues – appropriate amounts of nitrate applications per crop and whether the state water board should establish formal limits.

Note that the Meeting Agenda has been recently revised. You can view the revised Meeting Agenda here.

These discussions will directly impact farming operations and future regulatory requirements. Farmers are strongly encouraged to participate and share input during these important meetings.

The workshops will be held on January 21, 2026 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. and on January 29, 2026 from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. PST. Registration is required.
