§ 13244 Public Hearing For Water Plans

• •Before making a new water quality plan, the regional boards must hold a public meeting.
• •They have to tell people about the meeting by putting an ad in the local newspaper.
• •If the plan wants to stop certain waste from being dumped into the water, they have to give extra notice in the newspaper.

A regional board wants to make a new rule to stop factories from dumping dirty water into a river.

Before they can make this rule, they have to hold a public meeting and tell everyone about it by putting an ad in the local newspaper. This way, people who care about the river can go to the meeting and say what they think.
