GEI Consultants, Inc., Luhdorff & Scalmanini Consulting Engineers (Luhdorff & Scalmanini) | December 30th, 2024


The Nitrate Control Program is designed to achieve the following three management goals in the Central Valley Region:

  • Goal 1 – Ensure a safe drinking water supply;
  • Goal 2 – Reduce salt and nitrate loading so that ongoing discharges neither threaten to degrade high quality waters absent appropriate findings by the Central Valley Water Board nor cause or contribute to exceedances of water quality objectives; and,
  • Goal 3 – Implement long-term, managed restoration of impaired water bodies.
