Water quality education credit offered to growers in Ventura and Los Angeles counties

Today, Ventura County UCCE Staff Research Associate Maren Mochizuki shares information with us about local water quality education and improvement.

California’s Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) is offering 1 hour of education credit for completion of a survey of management practices available here. 

Growers who have already completed 8 hours of education credit in compliance with the Ag Waiver (click here for more information) are encouraged to complete a survey to document their progressive management strategies and to demonstrate to the RWQCB the additional hours members of the Ventura County Agricultural Irrigated Lands Group (VCAILG) have completed during the 5-year period of the waiver.

The survey is available in both English and Spanish.  Growers who complete a survey are also eligible for management practice recommendations and implementation assistance at no cost (click here for more information).

For more information or questions regarding the management practices survey, please contact Emmanuel González at 805 760 7413.   Return completed surveys to Emmanuel at:
