After the meeting, <br />CWCB staff encouraged the Districts to provide comments in writing to the CWCB Board <br />for review. Accordingly, we provide the CWCB with the following comments regarding the <br />proposed rule change to ISF Rule 8i: <br />1. Both the current ISF rules and proposed rules allow CWCB staffto negotiate <br />pretrial resolution when the CWBC has filed a statement of opposition to an application. <br />Whether the pretrial resolution requires CWCB Board approval depends upon the impact <br />on the ISF right and the proposed remedy. Those instances are: <br />A. No injury; <br />B. Injury with mitigation; and, <br />C. Injury with modification to the ISF decree. <br />Comments on Rute 8i <br />Page 1 <br />
