Just don't expect any of this to be enacted upon. I'm sad to say that I don't share your optimism. The State legislature just passed SB-810 giving the State Water Quality Control Boards lead agency status over all timber harvest permits. It's exactly the sort of use of TMDL regulations that Arnold proposes here.

...giving the State Water Quality Control Boards lead agency status over all timber harvest permits... Thats insane. Responsible forest management has been replaced with a (secondary) concern for soil runoff?

This is NOT good news.
