The California Water Boards' Annual Performance Report - Fiscal Year 2009-10

Performance Targets

Beginning with FY 2009-10, performance targets were established for certain output measures.  Targets are goals that establish measurable levels of performance to be achieved within a specified time period.  Thus, for FY 2009-10 and in future fiscal years, actual work achieved will be compared to targets to better assess progress and describe Water Board performance.  Targets are established by the individual Regional Water Boards in consultation with the State Water Board.  They reflect differences in the needs within their respective watersheds and their work priorities given available resources. The targets for FY 2009-10 were derived with a consideration of each Regional Water Board's accomplishments during past years, current priorities, available resources, and the impacts of mandatory furloughs that were in place during FY 2009-10

Targets for the new fiscal year (2010-11) are also presented below.
