This is a message from the State Water Resources Control Board.


NOTICE OF UNAVAILABILITY OF WATER AND NEED FOR IMMEDIATE CURTAILMENT FOR
THOSE DIVERTING WATER UNDER A POST-1914 WATER RIGHT IN THE SAN JOAQUIN RIVER
WATERSHED AND THOSE WITH A JUNIOR PRIORITY CLASS RIGHT IN THE SCOTT RIVER
WATERSHED SUBJECT TO DECREE NO. 30662

 

On April 23, 2015, the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water
Board) issued curtailment notices to all post-1914 water right holders
within the San Joaquin River watershed and those with junior priority class
right holders in the Scott River watershed until further notice.   The State
Water Board has been monitoring the flow conditions in the San Joaquin and
Scott River watersheds and due to limited precipitation and snowpack, the
current flows are insufficient to satisfy diversion demands under more
senior rights.

 

San Joaquin River Watershed:

The post-1914 water rights curtailed include   permits, licenses,
registrations and certificates issued by the State Water Board after 1914
within the San Joaquin River watershed.

 

Scott River Watershed:

The junior priority class rights are identified as either: (1) a Priority 2
Class Right in Schedule D-4 of the Decree, (2) a Post-1914 Appropriative
Right in Schedule E of the Decree, or (3) a "Surplus Class" right in the
Decree.  

 

The notices can be viewed at:

r_availability.shtml

 

Required Compliance Certification Required:

Curtailed water rights and junior priority class diverters are required to
document receipt of the notice by completing an online Curtailment
Certification Form (Form) within seven days.  The Form confirms cessation of
your diversion under the specific junior priority class water right
identified in the notice, and, if applicable, identifies the alternate water
supply to be used in lieu of the curtailed water right.  You are required to
complete the Form for each of your junior priority class water rights
identified through this curtailment at:

ailment/2015curt_form.php>

ilment/2015curt_form.php

 

The State Water Board will continue to monitor weather forecasts and stream
gages to determine if a temporary diversion opportunity should arise during
the diversion season. Please monitor your email and State Water Board
Drought Year Water Actions website for further updates on when diversions
are authorized, and when curtailments are in place. If an email list notice
is issued on the weekend, the website will not be updated until the
following Monday due to service limitations.
