SB 1169 — 2009-2010 Legislature

Summary

(1)Existing law establishes the State Water Resources Control Board (state board) and the 9 California regional water quality control boards (regional boards) as the principal state agencies with authority over matters relating to water quality. Existing law authorizes a party aggrieved by a specified decision or order issued by the state board to obtain review of the order in superior court by filing a petition for writ of mandate within 30 days after service of a copy of the state board’s decision or order. Existing law authorizes a party aggrieved by a final decision or order of a regional board for which the state board denies review to obtain review of the decision or order of the regional board in superior court by filing a petition for writ of mandate within 30 days after the date on which the state board denies review.

This bill would provide that an aggrieved party must file a petition for reconsideration with the state board to exhaust that party’s administrative remedies only if the initial decision or order is issued under authority delegated to an officer or employee of the state board and the state board by regulation has authorized a petition for… More

(1)Existing law establishes the State Water Resources Control Board (state board) and the 9 California regional water quality control boards (regional boards) as the principal state agencies with authority over matters relating to water quality. Existing law authorizes a party aggrieved by a specified decision or order issued by the state board to obtain review of the order in superior court by filing a petition for writ of mandate within 30 days after service of a copy of the state board’s decision or order. Existing law authorizes a party aggrieved by a final decision or order of a regional board for which the state board denies review to obtain review of the decision or order of the regional board in superior court by filing a petition for writ of mandate within 30 days after the date on which the state board denies review.

This bill would provide that an aggrieved party must file a petition for reconsideration with the state board to exhaust that party’s administrative remedies only if the initial decision or order is issued under authority delegated to an officer or employee of the state board and the state board by regulation has authorized a petition for reconsideration. The bill, with respect to a decision or order of a regional board, would specify that the authorization to obtain review of the decision or order of the regional board applies to a final decision or order of a regional board subject to review under a certain provision of law.

(2)The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) prescribes various timelines for commencing an action or proceeding to attack, review, set aside, void, or annul acts or decisions of a public agency on the grounds of noncompliance with CEQA.

This bill would provide that the time for filing an action or proceeding subject to these timelines for a person who seeks review of the regional board’s decision or order under a specified provision of law, or who seeks reconsideration under a state board regulation authorizing a petition for reconsideration, shall commence upon the state board’s completion of that review or reconsideration.

(3)Under existing law, each California regional water quality control board consists of 9 members who are appointed by the Governor and who serve 4-year terms.

This bill would extend the terms of 2 board members on each regional water quality control board, as specified, to September 30, 2014.

(4)Existing law requires that, prior to the indoor use of recycled water in a condominium project, the agency delivering the recycled water to the condominium project file a report with the regional board and receive written approval of the report from the State Department of Public Health.

This bill instead would require the agency to file the report with the State Department of Public Health.

(5)This bill would update cross-references in, and delete obsolete provisions of, the Water Code, and make various other technical or clarifying changes. Hide
