Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question:
Good morning,

I`m Jackie Hong, working for San Gabriel Valley Water Company.
I have a water reservoir site improvement project going on and have a question regards of that.
There is a 43,000cfs detention basin on the site and I was wondering if we need a permit to discharge overflow from the basin into a channel near by.
If we need a permit, I would also like to know what the process is like and its requirements.
It would be greatly appreciated if you can e~mail me your response.

Thank you very much.

best regards,
