Regional Water Quality Control Board in response to concerns about pollution and plastic waste in oceans and marinas. Given the timing of the permit adoption, officials reached out to fireworks displays in Los Angeles and Ventura counties to inform them of the new requirements and provide assistance with permit applications. Please check with the event's producers before making any plans.
