The Yuba County Water Agency has submitted an application for a water quality certification to the California State Water Resources Control Board for a project related to the Clean Water Act. The certification request was submitted on December 30, 2024, and the Water Board has one year to act on it, until December 30, 2025. If the Water Board does not act within this period, the request for certification will be considered waived according to the Clean Water Act. This notification was issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Simple Explanation
The Yuba County Water Agency asked for a "yes" to make sure their water project is safe for the environment, and the water bosses in California have one year to decide. If they don’t decide in that time, it’s like saying yes automatically.
