[The following was a comment/question submitted by email at the August 14, 2017 Subgroup #3 Kickoff Meeting] From: Cherie Blatt Affiliation: North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board Dear Subgroup 3 members, Thank you for allowing comments during the meeting. I listened to the meeting today and have the following comments: The Regional Water Boards in CA have dairies under permit and require annual reporting therefore have information that could be shared with the Air Board or related researchers. The North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board has contact information and data on the 120 dairies in our region. These dairies are all covered by our waste discharge permits. 1.At least one, maybe more, dairies in the north coast are all grass-fed pasture-based dairies, meaning they do not feed grain. This may be of interest to your researchers measuring enteric fermentation. More pertinent data may be collected from these grass fed operations found rarely in CA. You may contact us or Western United Dairymen for the grass fed dairy contact information if comparison research on this dairy type is desired. 2. Air Board researchers have collected information from the regional water boards in the past regarding number of cows, acres of pasture, etc. If the Air Board or related researchers need specific information on dairies that has not yet been collected by Air Board staff or information that needs to be asked of dairies in the state, then the regional water boards may be able to help. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. Thank you.
