After review of public comments, the Inyo-LA Technical Group will meet in February to consider the Draft Report. Finally, the Technical Group, Standing Committee and governing boards of LADWP and Inyo will make the final decision on implementing LORP adaptive management actions, as they are called changes in management based on data.
