F9
No narrative summary of the accomplishments, challenges, costs, and funds needed to fully comply with the Permit is provided in the required annual reports prepared by the CCCWP, the County and each city and town. City Response: Agree. The structure of the Annual Report required by the Regional Water Board as part of the current Permit does not lend itself to providing a narrative summary and does not require a breakdown of costs, challenges, and funds needed for compliance.
