Section 12006 - Participation
Normally, the Colorado River Board obtains copies of EIR's and EIS's through the California State Clearing House. The areas of environmental concern, special qualification, or statutory authority for which the Board has been designated to receive reports for review are listed in Appendix B of the Resources Agency Guidelines. In addition, copies of planning reports on proposed projects are obtained from federal, state, and local agencies. Board representatives also attend public hearings and participate in meetings when necessary for the purpose of obtaining information or exchanging views with other agencies or persons.
After review and analysis of all available information on a proposed project, the Board submits comments to the Resources Agency, which in turn prepares the official comments for the State of California. In cases where the Colorado River Board's findings and comments on various issues may differ from those of other State agencies, conferences will be held to settle the differences.
The contact person for consultation on EIR's is the Chief Engineer, Colorado River Board of California, 302 California State Building, 217 West First Street, Los Angeles, California 90012. The telephone number is (213) 620-4480.
