DEQ's Regional Water Supply Planning Guidance Document provides very little actual guidance. It is mainly a collection of quotes from the regulations. At times, that much is not even provided, and instead, users are only given a reference to the regulations, as if RPUs are not aware they exist. I had hoped to see a plain English step-by-step guide with suggestions that incorporates all the other documents and spreadsheets into a coherent process. This feels more like box-checking to rush the document out to meet a deadline. Overall, we have found this guidance document to be of very little help to our regional planning process, and I strongly urge DEQ to overhaul it, preferably with input from the RPUs.
