December 30, 2014 - Stipulated Judgment
2014 Stipulated Judgment for Respondent and Defendant

On December 30, 2014, in a historic decision regarding the diversion of the Owens River to the City of Los Angeles, Sacramento Superior Court Judge Shelleyanne Chang approved a stipulated judgment against the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power requiring completion of the nation's largest particulate air pollution control project on the dried Owens Lake bed. The judgment entered for the Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District should, for the first time, bring LADWP's water diversions into compliance with the clean air laws that protect the environment and human health. The judgment follows prior rulings against LADWP in favor of Great Basin, the California Air Resources Board, and the State Lands Commission, which were sued by LADWP. Below is a compilation of supplemental control requirement determination (SCRD) events in descending chronological order culminating at this historic stipulated judgment and Superior Court of California decision.
