Comments on Aquatic Animals Permit Jan 26, 2016 Comment Letters Agency: State Water Resources Control Board Subject: Association of California Water Agencies’ Comments Regarding the Aquatic Animals Invasive Species Control Permit Reissuance Letter excerpt: ACWA supports several of the changes in the Draft Permit, including the addition of copper to the list of covered chemicals. This addition will allow agencies the flexibility to apply for coverage in the instance that they need to control quagga mussels. In addition, ACWA supports the new provision that gives flexibility to the Water Board’s Executive Director to add additional pesticides, without a complete reopening of the permit, and appreciates the fact that this provision is consistent with language in the Aquatic Weed Control Permit (NPDES No. CAG 990005, Order 2013-0002-DWQ).
