The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has announced that the California State Water Resources Control Board received an application for a Clean Water Act section 401 water quality certification from the South Sutter Water District on October 25, 2024. The Water Board must respond to this request by October 25, 2025. If the Board fails to act by then, the certification requirement will be considered waived according to federal law.
Simple Explanation
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission said that a group called the South Sutter Water District in California asked for permission on October 25, 2024, to make sure their water is clean. The California Water Board has one year, until October 25, 2025, to say yes or no; if they don't decide, it's like saying yes!
