The Yuba County Water Agency has submitted an application for a water quality certification to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the California State Water Resources Control Board. The submission was acknowledged on December 30, 2024. According to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations, the Water Board has until December 30, 2025, to act on the certification request. If the Water Board does not take action by then, the authority to certify is considered waived under the Clean Water Act.
Simple Explanation
The Yuba County Water Agency wants to make sure the water in a certain area is clean, so they asked two groups if it meets all the rules. These groups have one year to decide, and if they don't, they won't get another chance to say yes or no.
