Local News:

On September 7, 2011, the CSC hosted a Regulatory Compliance workshop that included speakers from CSRMA, SWRCB and BACWA. There were approximately 75 people in attendance and the workshop was well received.  There was some great information presented to attendees on new State programs, how BACW helps collection system agencies and CSRMA delivered information on how SSO’s impact private property.

The Committee will be presenting an Engineering 202 workshop on November 2, 2011, at Central Contra Costa Sanitary District.
