The document discusses the quality of water in the Kings River Basin and regulatory programs related to agricultural runoff. It notes that testing has shown agricultural materials are not present in the Kings River and quality remains constant. It describes the Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program that requires monitoring and reporting of chemicals in waters to identify sources and mitigate impacts. The Kings River Conservation District conducts required water and sediment sampling and reporting for the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Growers have options to join a coalition, file individually, or seek recognition as non-dischargers. The document encourages growers to minimize runoff risks, especially during storms, and provide ideas on management practices to the KRCD.
