Petition Requesting Changes in Water Rights of The Department of Water Resources and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation for the California WaterFix Project Hearing
File Transfer Protocol Site Information
The State Water Board developed a secure File Transfer Protocol (FTP) website where parties to the hearing should upload their exhibits and parties can download the exhibits submitted by other parties. Each party on the service list will be provided a party-specific account with a username and password before their exhibit submittal deadline. All parties to the hearing will also have access to a shared account on the FTP site, which will allow parties to view and download other parties' exhibits, but only after the exhibit submittal deadline. The shared account is accessible at https://ftp.waterboards.ca.gov/?u=water fix download&p=waterfix123.
