<div>==The Role of Environmental Consultants==<br />
Environmental consultants are generally hired by private, commercial, or public clients to assist in environmental assessments and regulation compliance. The [http://ecoviz.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/CEQA_Overview California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)] is the predominant environmental regulation that environmental consultants in California are hired to ensure compliance with, usually in the form of preparation of or contribution to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).<br />
==Consulting Firms==<br />
The following table is a result of a survey of environmental consulting firms and their various local projects, specifically with the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) in the Central Coast Region. The survey was conducted by CSUMB's [[ENVS 560]] class.<br />
*Page could be expanded in the future to include more information on non-CEQA related firms.<br />
<br />
Key: Greyed-out cells refer to areas that were research but found no relevant projects within that category.<br />

<div>==The Role of Environmental Consultants==<br />
Environmental consultants are generally hired by private, commercial, or public clients to assist in environmental assessments and regulation compliance. The [http://ecoviz.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/CEQA_Overview California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)] is the predominant environmental regulation that environmental consultants in California are hired to ensure compliance with, usually in the form of preparation of or contribution to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).<br />
==Consulting Firms==<br />
The following table is a result of a survey of environmental consulting firms and their various local projects, specifically with the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) in the Central Coast Region. The survey was conducted by CSUMB's [[ENVS 560]] class.<br />
*Page could be expanded in the future to include more information on non-CEQA related firms.<br />
<br />
Key: Greyed-out cells refer to areas that were research but found no relevant projects within that category.<br />

<div>==The Role of Environmental Consultants==<br />
Environmental consultants are generally hired by private, commercial, or public clients to assist in environmental assessments and regulation compliance. The [http://ecoviz.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/CEQA_Overview California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)] is the predominant environmental regulation that environmental consultants in California are hired to ensure compliance with, usually in the form of preparation of or contribution to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).<br />
==Consulting Firms==<br />
The following table is a result of a survey of environmental consulting firms and their various local projects, specifically with the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) in the Central Coast Region. The survey was conducted by CSUMB's [[ENVS 560]] class.<br />
*Page could be expanded in the future to include more information on non-CEQA related firms.<br />
<br />
Key: Greyed-out cells refer to areas that were research but found no relevant projects within that category.<br />

<div>==The Role of Environmental Consultants==<br />
Environmental consultants are generally hired by private, commercial, or public clients to assist in environmental assessments and regulation compliance. The [http://ecoviz.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/CEQA_Overview California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)] is the predominant environmental regulation that environmental consultants in California are hired to ensure compliance with, usually in the form of preparation of or contribution to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).<br />
==Consulting Firms==<br />
The following table is a result of a survey of environmental consulting firms and their various local projects, specifically with the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) in the Central Coast Region. The survey was conducted by CSUMB's [[ENVS 560]] class.<br />
*Page could be expanded in the future to include more information on non-CEQA related firms.<br />
<br />
Key: Greyed-out cells refer to areas that were research but found no relevant projects within that category.<br />

<div>==The Role of Environmental Consultants==<br />
Environmental consultants are generally hired by private, commercial, or public clients to assist in environmental assessments and regulation compliance. The [http://ecoviz.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/CEQA_Overview California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)] is the predominant environmental regulation that environmental consultants in California are hired to ensure compliance with, usually in the form of preparation of or contribution to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).<br />
==Consulting Firms==<br />
The following table is a result of a survey of environmental consulting firms and their various local projects, specifically with the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) in the Central Coast Region. The survey was conducted by CSUMB's [[ENVS 560]] class.<br />
*Page could be expanded in the future to include more information on non-CEQA related firms.<br />
<br />
Key: Greyed-out cells refer to areas that were research but found no relevant projects within that category.<br />

It does not necessary reflect the opinion or policy of [http://csumb.edu CSUMB], its staff, or students.</div>Juliannerhttp://ccows.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/List_of_Environmental_Consultants_working_in_the_California_Central_Coast_RegionList of Environmental Consultants working in the California Central Coast Region2014-07-03T07:27:53Z<p>Julianner: </p>

<div>==The Role of Environmental Consultants==<br />
Environmental consultants are generally hired by private, commercial, or public clients to assist in environmental assessments and regulation compliance. The [http://ecoviz.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/CEQA_Overview California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)] is the predominant environmental regulation that environmental consultants in California are hired to ensure compliance with, usually in the form of preparation of or contribution to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).<br />
==Consulting Firms==<br />
The following table is a result of a survey of environmental consulting firms and their various local projects, specifically with the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) in the Central Coast Region. The survey was conducted by CSUMB's [[ENVS 560]] class.<br />
*Page could be expanded in the future to include more information on non-CEQA related firms.<br />
<br />
Key: Greyed-out cells refer to areas that were research but found no relevant projects within that category.<br />

<div>==The Role of Environmental Consultants==<br />
Environmental consultants are generally hired by private, commercial, or public clients to assist in environmental assessments and regulation compliance. The [http://ecoviz.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/CEQA_Overview California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)] is the predominant environmental regulation that environmental consultants in California are hired to ensure compliance with, usually in the form of preparation of or contribution to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).<br />
==Consulting Firms==<br />
The following table is a result of a survey of environmental consulting firms and their various local projects, specifically with the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) in the Central Coast Region. The survey was conducted by CSUMB's [[ENVS 560]] class.<br />
*Page could be expanded in the future to include more information on non-CEQA related firms.<br />
<br />
Key: Greyed-out cells refer to areas that were research but found no relevant projects within that category.<br />

<div>==The Role of Environmental Consultants==<br />
Environmental consultants are generally hired by private, commercial, or public clients to assist in environmental assessments and regulation compliance. The [http://ecoviz.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/CEQA_Overview California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)] is the predominant environmental regulation that environmental consultants in California are hired to ensure compliance with, usually in the form of preparation of or contribution to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).<br />
==Consulting Firms==<br />
The following table is a result of a survey of environmental consulting firms and their various local projects, specifically with the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) in the Central Coast Region. The survey was conducted by CSUMB's [[ENVS 560]] class.<br />
*Page could be expanded in the future to include more information on non-CEQA related firms.<br />
<br />
Key: Greyed-out cells refer to areas that were research but found no relevant projects within that category.<br />

<div>==The Role of Environmental Consultants==<br />
Environmental consultants are generally hired by private, commercial, or public clients to assist in environmental assessments and regulation compliance. The [http://ecoviz.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/CEQA_Overview California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)] is the predominant environmental regulation that environmental consultants in California are hired to ensure compliance with, usually in the form of preparation of or contribution to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).<br />
==Consulting Firms==<br />
The following table is a result of a survey of environmental consulting firms and their various local projects, specifically with the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) in the Central Coast Region. The survey was conducted by CSUMB's [[ENVS 560]] class.<br />
*Page could be expanded in the future to include more information on non-CEQA related firms.<br />
<br />
Key: Greyed-out cells refer to areas that were research but found no relevant projects within that category.<br />

<div>==The Role of Environmental Consultants==<br />
Environmental consultants are generally hired by private, commercial, or public clients to assist in environmental assessments and regulation compliance. The [http://ecoviz.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/CEQA_Overview California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)] is the predominant environmental regulation that environmental consultants in California are hired to ensure compliance with, usually in the form of preparation of or contribution to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).<br />
==Consulting Firms==<br />
The following table is a result of a survey of environmental consulting firms and their various local projects, specifically with the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) in the Central Coast Region. The survey was conducted by CSUMB's [[ENVS 560]] class.<br />
*Page could be expanded in the future to include more information on non-CEQA related firms.<br />
<br />
Key: Greyed-out cells refer to areas that were research but found no relevant projects within that category.<br />

<div>==The Role of Environmental Consultants==<br />
Environmental consultants are generally hired by private, commercial, or public clients to assist in environmental assessments and regulation compliance. The [http://ecoviz.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/CEQA_Overview California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)] is the predominant environmental regulation that environmental consultants in California are hired to ensure compliance with, usually in the form of preparation of or contribution to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).<br />
==Consulting Firms==<br />
The following table is a result of a survey of environmental consulting firms and their various local projects, specifically with the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) in the Central Coast Region. The survey was conducted by CSUMB's [[ENVS 560]] class.<br />
*Page could be expanded in the future to include more information on non-CEQA related firms.<br />
<br />
Key: Greyed-out cells refer to areas that were research but found no relevant projects within that category.<br />

<div>==The Role of Environmental Consultants==<br />
Environmental consultants are generally hired by private, commercial, or public clients to assist in environmental assessments and regulation compliance. The [http://ecoviz.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/CEQA_Overview California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)] is the predominant environmental regulation that environmental consultants in California are hired to ensure compliance with, usually in the form of preparation of or contribution to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).<br />
==Consulting Firms==<br />
The following table is a result of a survey of environmental consulting firms and their various local projects, specifically with the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) in the Central Coast Region. The survey was conducted by CSUMB's [[ENVS 560]] class.<br />
*Page could be expanded in the future to include more information on non-CEQA related firms.<br />
<br />
Key: Greyed-out cells refer to areas that were research but found no relevant projects within that category.<br />

<div>==The Role of Environmental Consultants==<br />
Environmental consultants are generally hired by private, commercial, or public clients to assist in environmental assessments and regulation compliance. The [http://ecoviz.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/CEQA_Overview California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)] is the predominant environmental regulation that environmental consultants in California are hired to ensure compliance with, usually in the form of preparation of or contribution to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).<br />
==Consulting Firms==<br />
The following table is a result of a survey of environmental consulting firms and their various local projects, specifically with the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) in the Central Coast Region. The survey was conducted by CSUMB's [[ENVS 560]] class.<br />
*Page could be expanded in the future to include more information on non-CEQA related firms.<br />
<br />
Key: Greyed-out cells refer to areas that were research but found no relevant projects within that category.<br />

<div>==The Role of Environmental Consultants==<br />
Environmental consultants are generally hired by private, commercial, or public clients to assist in environmental assessments and regulation compliance. The [http://ecoviz.csumb.edu/wiki/index.php/CEQA_Overview California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)] is the predominant environmental regulation that environmental consultants in California are hired to ensure compliance with, usually in the form of preparation of or contribution to an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).<br />
==Consulting Firms==<br />
The following table is a result of a survey of environmental consulting firms and their various local projects, specifically with the preparation of Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs) in the Central Coast Region. The survey was conducted by CSUMB's [[ENVS 560]] class.<br />
*Page could be expanded in the future to include more information on non-CEQA related firms.<br />
<br />
Key: Greyed-out cells refer to areas that were research but found no relevant projects within that category.<br />

The village of [http://ci.capitola.ca.us/capcity.nsf/AboutCapIntro.html Capitola] became the third incorporated city in Santa Cruz County in January 1949. As such, the city of Capitola is required to have a Storm Water Management Program (SWMP) for pollutants, sediment, and toxins from urban discharges. The [[Urban stormwater management in Santa Cruz County|County of Santa Cruz]] and the City of Capitola are collaborating to address the new statewide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit <ref>[http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/stormwater/phase_ii_municipal.shtml CONSTRUCTION STORM WATER PROGRAM]</ref> requirements for agencies designated by the [http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/stormwater/ State Water Resources Control Board] (SWRCB). <br />
===Summary===<br />
The City of Capitola relies on Santa Cruz County to provide major storm drain services through the Santa Cruz County Flood Control & Water Conservation District Zone 5 <ref name="white"> City of Capitola General Plan Update, 2011 [http://www.plancapitola.com/PDF/White_Paper_Five.pdf]</ref>. Existing infrastructure used to manage floods and storm water drainage includes: above ground drainage ditches and water courses; pump stations, catch basins and outfalls. Five main storm drain outfalls discharge storm water into Soquel Creek. Three outfalls flow directly to the Capitola Beach and four outfalls discharge storm water onto the coastal cliffs near Grand Avenue and Cliff Drive. In 2002, the City of Capitola received a grant from the SWRCB for $100,000 to create a master plan for the storm drains in the Village area. The master plan identifies key water quality components and outlines the design and building specifics for dry weather diversions. In 2004, Capitola also constructed the "Lawn Way" pump station in order to alleviate localized flooding. A bio-filtration treatment wetland was built in 2008 tangential to Soquel Lagoon with the goal of improvements to lagoon water quality and help treat stormwater. In March of 2011, The City of Capitola experienced major flooding in the Village when the [http://www.ci.capitola.ca.us/capcity.nsf/vLookup/Flood%20Press%20Release%201/$file/Flood%20Press%20Release%201.pdf Nobel Gulch Drain Inlet] failed. Corrections are being made through the installation of new infrastructure and increased monitoring and maintenance.<br />

**This organization addresses local natural resource issues through a local partnership with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The Resource Conservation District currently has two programs that address habitat restoration: the Healthy Watersheds Restoration Program (HWRP) focuses on smaller-scale restoration projects, while the Integrated Watershed Restoration Program (IWRP) focuses on larger-scale restoration projects.<br />
<br />
==Regulatory Background==<br />
Many have been implemented and enforced over the last few decades to reduce pollutants and contaminants being discharged into the Soquel Creek, and upper Arana-Rodeo Culch Watershed.

"The CCA represents twelve Waterkeeper organizations from the Oregon border to San Diego, of which the Monterey Coastkeeper is one. The Monterey Coastkeeper service area includes all of Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties as well as portions of San Mateo, Santa Clara and San Benito Counties. The Monterey Coastkeeper was formed with the intent of tackling issues of water quality through policy advocacy and legal tools to ensure that the interests of development, industry and urban activity are kept in line with the environmental needs and wishes of the community it serves.

==Water Quality Topics of Interest==<br />
<br />
'''Food Safety'''<br />
<br />
Many of the food safety practices intended to control the spread of pathogens recommend limiting non-crop vegetation adjacent to fields. Poison bait stations line leafy green croplands to kill rodents and anything eating the bait. Through bioaccumulation, the poison makes its way up the food chain to top predators. Poison stations have been seen within the field sprinkler line, the poisoned water running back into the crop. Monterey Coastkeeper's mission is to ensure that food safety interests are balanced with environmental protection and that all management practices are scientifically valid. Growers are under pressure from food safety professionals to change on-farm management practices in ways that not only unproven in terms of food safety benefits, but also have serious environmental consequences <ref>SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE:CO-MANAGING FOR FOOD SAFETY AND ECOLOGICAL HEALTH IN CALIFORNIA’S CENTRAL COAST REGION http://www.pewhealth.org/uploadedFiles/PHG/Content_Level_Pages/Issue_Briefs/PSP_wildlife.pdf</ref><br />
<br />
<br />
'''Stormwater Management'''<br />
<br />
The Monterey Coastkeeper is an active player in establishing the correlation between water quality and ocean health. For this reason, The Monterey Coastkeeper has taken a proactive role in advocating for affective stormwater management along the Central Coast. Working alongside groups such as The Ocean Conservancy and The Natural Resources Defense Council, The Coastkeeper's umbrella organization The Otter Project played a key role in bringing environmental interests to the table in the creation of the Monterey Regional Stormwater Plan. The resulting document has since been held up as a model for the rest of the state.<br />
<br />
Following the creation of The Monterey Coastkeeper, The Otter Project advocated for the improvement of the Salinas Stormwater Management Plan. Although Salinas is not a coastal city, it discharges pollutants into watersheds that flow directly into the Monterey Bay. Participating in public comment periods, writing letters, attending public meetings and working with other stakeholders in stakeholder committees, The Monterey Coastkeeper championed for the improvement of the Salinas Stormwater Management Plan, leading the RWQCB to raise the standard on required improvements of the plan.<br />
<br />
Currently, the [[California Regional Water Quality Control Board |Regional Water Quality Control Board]] is planning to undergo a process of rapidly assessing and approving over a hundred stormwater management plans in the next two years. The Monterey Coastkeeper, a project of The Otter Project, is gearing up to participate in the process to ensure that stormwater management throughout the state lives up to the high standard set by Monterey. The resulting management programs established by these policies will have significant ramifications for sea otters and everyone else who relies on clean, healthy water. <br />
<br />
'''Agricultural Runoff'''<br />
<br />
Encouraging good farm practices and enforcing against egregious bad practices are the goals of the [[Central Coast Region Agricultural Waiver | Conditional Agricultural Waiver Program]], overseen by the [[Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board| Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board]]. Until recently farm discharges were exempt from water quality standards. Now, California farms must have a permit to discharge wastewater. The “conditional waiver” is a group program designed to allow farms to avoid thecost and paperwork of obtaining an individual permit if they meet a set of prescribed conditions.<br />
<br />
The Agricultural Waiver Program aims to educate farmers on good practices, thereby encouraging pollution prevention. The Monterey Coastkeeper has been working to support the Water Board both in the management of the current program, and in the development of a future waiver.<br />
<br />
Following good agricultural practices to prevent water pollution and erosion provide an easy solution that is neither onerous nor cost prohibitive! Good practices include minimizing chemical application and limiting irrigation to use only what is absolutely necessary. Both of these actions provide not only environmental benefits, but savings to growers.<br />
<br />
The Agricultural Waiver might seem unrelated to sea otters—but in fact the connection epitomizes the kind of multi-faceted management we must engage in if we truly wish to affect sea otter population stagnation. Conservation is increasingly moving towards ecosystem based management, and this includes identifying and controlling outside threats to the ecosystem—such as agricultural runoff. Preventing chemical poisons from weakening an iconic keystone species like sea otters is a pretty good place to start.<br />
<br />
==Litigation==<br />
On 21 October 2010, the Monterey Coastkeeper filed a suit against the Monterey County Water Resources Agency (MCWRA) alleging that the MCWRA is polluting the waters of the Central Coast and United States. The suit claimed that the MCWRA illegally discharged polluted waters that contained pesticides and nitrates in excess of protective standards. The suit also claimed that the MCWRA did not file a report of waste water discharge, as well as a failure in protecting public resources, and lastly created a public nuisance. The suit did not seek monetary damages but the suit did ask for the discharge of pollutants to stop. The Monterey Coastkeeper is represented by Stanford Law Clinic. “Agriculture needs to step up and clean up their mess; regulatory agencies need to regulate; and water agencies simply must protect precious resources for everyone,” said Shimek. Monterey Coastkeeper spent the past two years attempting to work with growers and grower associations on new water quality regulations. Earlier this year Monterey Coastkeeper, together with San Luis Obispo Coastkeeper and Santa Barbara Channelkeeper, appealed a decision by the Regional Water Quality Control Board to extend an old and ineffective set of water quality regulations. “I’m not going to let up until our water is drinkable, swimmable, and fishable, the basic rights promised by America’s Clean Water Act and California’s Clean Drinking Water Act,” said Shimek.<br />

The suit did not seek monetary damages but the suit did ask for the discharge of pollutants to stop. The Monterey Coastkeeper is represented by Stanford Law Clinic. “Agriculture needs to step up and clean up their mess; regulatory agencies need to regulate; and water agencies simply must protect precious resources for everyone,” said Shimek. Monterey Coastkeeper spent the past two years attempting to work with growers and grower associations on new water quality regulations. Earlier this year Monterey Coastkeeper, together with San Luis Obispo Coastkeeper and Santa Barbara Channelkeeper, appealed a decision by the Regional Water Quality Control Board to extend an old and ineffective set of water quality regulations. “I’m not going to let up until our water is drinkable, swimmable, and fishable, the basic rights promised by America’s Clean Water Act and California’s Clean Drinking Water Act,” said Shimek.<br />

<br />
*'''Food Safety'''<br />
** Many of the food safety practices intended to control the spread of pathogens recommend limiting non-crop vegetation adjacent to fields. Poison bait stations line leafy green croplands to kill rodents and anything eating the bait. Through bioaccumulation, the poison makes its way up the food chain to top predators. Poison stations have been seen within the field sprinkler line, the poisoned water running back into the crop. Monterey Coastkeeper's mission is to ensure that food safety interests are balanced with environmental protection and that all management practices are scientifically valid. Growers are under pressure from food safety professionals to change on-farm management practices in ways that not only unproven in terms of food safety benefits, but also have serious environmental consequences <ref>SAFE AND SUSTAINABLE:CO-MANAGING FOR FOOD SAFETY AND ECOLOGICAL HEALTH IN CALIFORNIA’S CENTRAL COAST REGION http://www.pewhealth.org/uploadedFiles/PHG/Content_Level_Pages/Issue_Briefs/PSP_wildlife.pdf</ref><br />
The Monterey Coastkeeper is committed to documenting current changes as thoroughly as possible and influence the discussion among the various groups involved towards higher concern for chemical pollution, protection of our watersheds, and the natural areas wildlife associated with them. <br />
<br />
* '''Stormwater Management'''<br />
** The Monterey Coastkeeper is an active player in establishing the correlation between water quality and ocean health. For this reason, The Monterey Coastkeeper has taken a proactive role in advocating for affective stormwater management along the Central Coast. Working alongside groups such as The Ocean Conservancy and The Natural Resources Defense Council, The Coastkeeper's umbrella organization The Otter Project played a key role in bringing environmental interests to the table in the creation of the Monterey Regional Stormwater Plan. The resulting document has since been held up as a model for the rest of the state.<br />
** Following the creation of The Monterey Coastkeeper, The Otter Project advocated for the improvement of the Salinas Stormwater Management Plan. Although Salinas is not a coastal city, it discharges pollutants into watersheds that flow directly into the Monterey Bay. Participating in public comment periods, writing letters, attending public meetings and working with other stakeholders in stakeholder committees, The Monterey Coastkeeper championed for the improvement of the Salinas Stormwater Management Plan, leading the RWQCB to raise the standard on required improvements of the plan.<br />
** Currently, the [[California Regional Water Quality Control Board |Regional Water Quality Control Board]] is planning to undergo a process of rapidly assessing and approving over a hundred stormwater management plans in the next two years. The Monterey Coastkeeper, a project of The Otter Project, is gearing up to participate in the process to ensure that stormwater management throughout the state lives up to the high standard set by Monterey. The resulting management programs established by these policies will have significant ramifications for sea otters and everyone else who relies on clean, healthy water. <br />
<br />
* '''Agricultural Runoff'''<br />
** Encouraging good farm practices and enforcing against egregious bad practices are the goals of the [[Central Coast Region Agricultural Waiver | Conditional Agricultural Waiver Program]], overseen by the [[Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board| Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board]]. Until recently farm discharges were exempt from water quality standards. Now, California farms must have a permit to discharge wastewater. The “conditional waiver” is a group program designed to allow farms to avoid thecost and paperwork of obtaining an individual permit if they meet a set of prescribed conditions.<br />
** The Agricultural Waiver Program aims to educate farmers on good practices, thereby encouraging pollution prevention. The Monterey Coastkeeper has been working to support the Water Board both in the management of the current program, and in the development of a future waiver.<br />
** Following good agricultural practices to prevent water pollution and erosion provide an easy solution that is neither onerous nor cost prohibitive! Good practices include minimizing chemical application and limiting irrigation to use only what is absolutely necessary. Both of these actions provide not only environmental benefits, but savings to growers.<br />
** The Agricultural Waiver might seem unrelated to sea otters—but in fact the connection epitomizes the kind of multi-faceted management we must engage in if we truly wish to affect sea otter population stagnation. Conservation is increasingly moving towards ecosystem based management, and this includes identifying and controlling outside threats to the ecosystem—such as agricultural runoff. Preventing chemical poisons from weakening an iconic keystone species like sea otters is a pretty good place to start.<br />
<br />
==Litigation==<br />
On 21 October 2010, the Monterey Coastkeeper filed a suit against the Monterey County Water Resources Agency (MCWRA) alleging that the MCWRA is polluting the waters of the Central Coast and United States. The suit claimed that the MCWRA illegally discharged polluted waters that contained pesticides and nitrates in excess of protective standards. The suit also claimed that the MCWRA did not file a report of waste water discharge, as well as a failure in protecting public resources, and lastly created a public nuisance.

<br />
The village of [http://ci.capitola.ca.us/capcity.nsf/AboutCapIntro.html Capitola] became the third incorporated city in Santa Cruz County in January 1949. As such, the city of Capitola is required to have a Storm Water Management Program (SWMP) for pollutants, sediment, and toxins from urban discharges. The [[Urban stormwater management in Santa Cruz County|County of Santa Cruz]] and the City of Capitola are collaborating to address the new statewide National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit <ref>[http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/stormwater/phase_ii_municipal.shtml CONSTRUCTION STORM WATER PROGRAM]</ref> requirements for agencies designated by the [http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/stormwater/ State Water Resources Control Board] (SWRCB). <br />
===Summary===<br />

Existing infrastructure used to manage floods and storm water drainage includes: above ground drainage ditches and water courses; pump stations, catch basins and outfalls. Five main storm drain outfalls discharge storm water into Soquel Creek. Three outfalls flow directly to the Capitola Beach and four outfalls discharge storm water onto the coastal cliffs near Grand Avenue and Cliff Drive. In 2002, the City of Capitola received a grant from the SWRCB for $100,000 to create a master plan for the storm drains in the Village area. The master plan identifies key water quality components and outlines the design and building specifics for dry weather diversions. In 2004, Capitola also constructed the "Lawn Way" pump station in order to alleviate localized flooding. A bio-filtration treatment wetland was built in 2008 tangential to Soquel Lagoon with the goal of improvements to lagoon water quality and help treat stormwater.

CalTrans is subject to the permitting requirements defined by the Clean Water Act, Section 402(p) NPDES program. Though storm water discharges were originally regulated by individual permits, the State Water Board issued a State-wide permit ([http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/stormwater/caltrans_permits.shtml CalTrans MS4 Permit Order No. 99-06-DWQ]) which regulated all discharges from Caltrans MS4s, construction activities, and maintenance facilities <ref> [http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/stormwater/caltrans.shtml State Water Resources Control Board, CalTrans Program] </ref>. <br />

*'''[http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/stormwater/municipal.shtml Municipal Storm Water Program]'''<br />
**This program regulates storm water discharge from MS4s, which convey untreated runoff containing pollutants from urbanized areas and areas with impervious surface cover to local bodies of water. MS4 permits are issued in two phases ([http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/stormwater/phase_i_municipal.shtml Phase I] and [http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/water_issues/programs/stormwater/phase_ii_municipal.shtml Phase II]), depending on the size of the MS4 (see ''Federal Regulations'' section above). The EPA works with State and Regional water management agencies to administer the NPDES permitting program for municipalities.

<div>The [http://www.montereycountyfarmbureau.org/ Monterey County Farm Bureau] (MCFB) is a membership-based non-profit organization. Their mission is to "promote the well being of agriculture through involvement in education, stewardship of natural resources, public policy development, and the resolution of community challenges" <ref> MCFB. http://montereycfb.com/index.php?page=farm-bureau-mission </ref>. They are said to be the voice of agriculture in the Monterey Region. <br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
In September 1919, 32 county farm bureau delegates, including representatives from Monterey County, met at U.C. Berkeley to prompt the creation of the [http://www.cfbf.com/ California Farm Bureau Federation] (CFBF). The university's Agricultural Extension was created in 1914, but the Extension's framework required that its education programs be brought only to farmers in counties in which a farm bureau representing at least 20 percent of the farmers had been established. The university and its Agricultural Extension Service effectively spurred the establishment of a state-wide farm bureau movement in California.<ref>CFBF http://www.cfbf.com/about/fbhistory.cfm</ref><br />
<br />
Three weeks later, the [http://www.fb.org/ American Farm Bureau Federation] (AFBF) was founded at a meeting in Chicago, with California among the 31 states given voting privileges at the first meeting.<br />
<br />
The AFBF formed to provide farmers a way to pursue a national-level, legislative agenda favorable to farmers. Early efforts focused successfully on allowing farmers longer term credit to carry crops through orderly marketing, tariffs to protect against competing imported farm crops and the general cooperative marketing plan outlined by Farm Bureau. While AFBF continues to lobby for primarily economic initiatives on farmers' behalf, and CFBF does much the same on a state level, the county farm bureau remains the nucleus of the organization and a forum where where agricultural interests, policies, and programs can address farmers' needs at the county level <ref>AFBF http://www.fb.org/index.php?action=about.history</ref>.<br />
<br />
== Regulatory Focus ==<br />
[[Image:Photo_of_grassed_roadway.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Grassed roadways between crops improve water quality by helping to prevent sedimentation of streams. Image by http://www.rcdmonterey.org/]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Farming is a highly-regulated industry and the MFBF provides guidance to farmers on matters of [http://montereycfb.com/index.php?page=water air and water quality], [http://montereycfb.com/index.php?page=tranpsortation immigration reform], [http://montereycfb.com/index.php?page=food-safety food safety], [http://montereycfb.com/index.php?page=land-use land use], and [http://montereycfb.com/index.php?page=crop-protection labor safety], and other applicable laws. The regulatory environment can be onerous and contradictory. One example is the scrutiny brought to bear on food safety practices following the 2006 E. coli outbreak in bagged spinach traced to a farm in San Benito County, California, forced regional changes in the best management practices associated with food safety, that directly opposed the best management practices recommended to comply with the [http://water.epa.gov/lawsregs/guidance/303.cfm Clean Water Act's section 303d] (see photo inset)<ref>CO-MANAGING FOR FOOD SAFETY AND ECOLOGICAL HEALTH IN CALIFORNIA’S CENTRAL COAST REGION http://www.pewhealth.org/uploadedFiles/PHG/Content_Level_Pages/Issue_Briefs/PSP_wildlife.pdf</ref>.<br />

== Training ==<br />
The MFBF offers [http://montereycfb.com/index.php?page=workshops-meetings training and workshops] about a variety of regulatory and technical issues. Additionally, the University of California's Agriculture Extension, now officially called the [http://ucanr.edu/ Natural Resources Coorperative Extension] (UCANR) has maintained its historic alliance with the Farm Bureau network. The stated mission of the UCANR is to work hand in hand with industry to enhance agricultural markets, help the balance of trade, address environmental concerns, protect plant health, and provide farmers with scientifically tested production techniques and Californians with increased food safety. The UCANR maintains an office in Salinas and sponsors [http://cemonterey.ucanr.edu/ training and events] aimed at supporting the needs of local farmers.<br />

<div>The [http://www.montereycountyfarmbureau.org/ Monterey County Farm Bureau] (MCFB) is a membership-based non-profit organization. Their mission is to "promote the well being of agriculture through involvement in education, stewardship of natural resources, public policy development, and the resolution of community challenges" <ref> MCFB. http://montereycfb.com/index.php?page=farm-bureau-mission </ref>. They are said to be the voice of agriculture in the Monterey Region. <br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
In September 1919, 32 county farm bureau delegates, including representatives from Monterey County, met at U.C. Berkeley to prompt the creation of the [http://www.cfbf.com/ California Farm Bureau Federation] (CFBF). The university's Agricultural Extension had been created in 1914, but its education programs could not be brought to farmers until a county farm bureau representing at least 20 percent of the farmers in the county had been established. The university and its Agricultural Extension Service effectively spurred the establishment of a state-wide farm bureau movement in California.<ref>http://www.cfbf.com/about/fbhistory.cfm</ref><br />
<br />
Three weeks later, the [http://www.fb.org/ American Farm Bureau Federation] (AFBF) was founded at a meeting in Chicago, with California among the 31 states given voting privileges at the first meeting.<br />
<br />
The AFBF formed to provide farmers a way to influence national politics and pursue a national-level legislative agenda favorable to farmers. Early efforts focused successfully on allowing farmers longer term credit to carry crops through orderly marketing, tariffs to protect against competing imported farm crops and the general cooperative marketing plan outlined by Farm Bureau. While AFBF continues to lobby for primarily economic initiatives on farmers' behalf, and CFBF does much the same on a state level, the county farm bureau remains the nucleus of the organization and a forum where where agricultural interests, policies, and programs can address farmers' needs at the county level <ref>http://www.fb.org/index.php?action=about.history</ref>.<br />

<div>The [http://www.montereycountyfarmbureau.org/ Monterey County Farm Bureau] (MCFB) is a membership-based non-profit organization. Their mission is to "promote the well being of agriculture through involvement in education, stewardship of natural resources, public policy development, and the resolution of community challenges" <ref> MCFB. http://montereycfb.com/index.php?page=farm-bureau-mission </ref>. They are said to be the voice of agriculture in the Monterey Region. <br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
In September 1919, 32 county farm bureau delegates, including representatives from Monterey County, met at U.C. Berkeley to prompt the creation of the [http://www.cfbf.com/ California Farm Bureau Federation] (CFBF). The university's Agricultural Extension had been created in 1914, but its education programs could not be brought to farmers until a county farm bureau representing at least 20 percent of the farmers in the county had been established. The university and its Agricultural Extension Service effectively spurred the establishment of a state-wide farm bureau movement in California.<br />
<br />
Three weeks later, the [http://www.fb.org/ American Farm Bureau Federation] (AFBF) was founded at a meeting in Chicago, with California among the 31 states given voting privileges at the first meeting.<br />
<br />
The AFBF formed to provide farmers a way to influence national politics and pursue a national-level legislative agenda favorable to farmers. Early efforts focused successfully on allowing farmers longer term credit to carry crops through orderly marketing, tariffs to protect against competing imported farm crops and the general cooperative marketing plan outlined by Farm Bureau. While AFBF continues to lobby for primarily economic initiatives on farmers' behalf, and CFBF does much the same on a state level, the county farm bureau remains the nucleus of the organization and a forum where where agricultural interests, policies, and programs can address farmers' needs at the county level (ref).<br />
