CCWQP has managed surface water compliance monitoring on behalf of the Central Coast ag industry since 2005.  By 6/22/21 we will submit a response to the Water Board’s RFP for new Third-Party Programs to assist growers in complying with the newly adopted Ag Order 4.0.  The proposed Third-Party programs cover the full scope of Ag Order 4.0, including surface water, groundwater, and nutrient (fertilizer) monitoring and reporting, outreach and training.  These programs are expected to result in more streamlined and cost-effective compliance for growers, and more efficient protection of water quality.
