Water Board Delays Hearing on Promise of Negotiations

The hearing scheduled before the State Water Resources Control Board to address the restoration plans proposed by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) has been postponed to allow for negotiations between the participating parties.

In the month prior to the original hearing date of October 9, the Committee, DWP, the State Lands Commission, California Trout, the Department of Fish and Game, and other parties began a negotiation process in hopes of resolving differences without a protracted legal battle before the Water Board. The parties requested postponement of the hearing so negotiations could proceed.

Whether negotiations are successful or not, all interested parties will have a chance to speak to the stream and waterfowl habitat restoration plans before the Water Board when the hearing finally takes place, probably in early 1997.
