Drinking Water Supply Well Survey – Help Needed!

Drinking Water Supply Well Survey – Help Needed!

Please help us by completing the three-question survey: surveymonkey.com/r/75NCZD5

The CRC must provide information on the number of drinking water supply wells to the Central Valley Water Board. We are required to provide the number of wells by county – no names – no addresses – no APN numbers. This is a new requirement in the Rice WDR Order.

You can ignore this request, if you completed the information when we originally sent the notice in March.

For questions or more information, please contact CRC Industry Affairs Manager Roberta Firoved at rfiroved@calrice.org or (916) 206-5039.

The results are reported from the analytical laboratory to the State’s GeoTracker database.

Thiobencarb monitoring starts April 26 and ends June 28, 14 times at the four core sites.

Some rice has been planted and treated, which will be captured with the current monitoring plan.
