State Water Resources Control Board Deny Petitions for Reconsideration of Water Rights Order No. 2016-0016 Filed by Ratepayers Association of the Monterey Peninsula (WRAMP, aka Water Plus) & Public Trust Alliance

ABSTRACT: On Tuesday, November 1, 2016, the State Water Resources Control Board adopted the proposed Order Denying Petitions for Reconsideration of Water Rights Order No. 2016-0016, adopted by the Board on July 19, 2016, filed by Ratepayers Association of the Monterey Peninsula (WRAMP, aka Water Plus) and Public Trust Alliance. "Order WR 2016-0016 extends the date by which Cal-Am must cease its unauthorized Carmel River diversions from December 2016 to December 2021 and sets a maximum diversion limit of 8,310 acre-feet, subject to further reductions of 1,000 acre-feet should Cal-Am not satisfy specific milestone dates for construction of, and thence use of water from, a desalination project and a recycled water project (Pure Water Monterey)." (DRAFT) CONCLUSION For the reasons stated above, the State Water Board finds that State Water Board Order WR 2016-0016 was appropriate and proper, and denies the petitions for reconsideration. To the extent that the petitions for reconsideration purported to raise issues not addressed in this order, the State Water Board finds that the issues do not raise substantial issues related to the causes for reconsideration enumerated in California Code of Regulations, title 23, section 768. ORDER IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the petitions for reconsideration are denied.

Carmel Art Association 

Mission Statement: 
The Association exists to provide its members with a permanent art gallery, to advance knowledge of, and interest in the arts, and to create a spirit of cooperation and fellowship among artists and the community. 

A Proud Heritage: 

The legendary Carmel Art Association was formed on August 8, 1927 by a small group of artists who gathered at “Gray Gables,” the modest home/studio of Josephine Culbertson and Ida Johnson at the corner of Seventh and Lincoln in Carmel-by-the-Sea. These nineteen “pioneers”—who grew up in the 19th century and individually found their respective paths to Carmel from all corners of the world—each desired a greater sense of community, a spirit of collaboration, and a place to show their work. Before the meeting concluded, they had established an association with a mission “to advance art and cooperation among artists, secure a permanent exhibition space, and promote greater fellowship between artists and the public.”
