CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD <br />CENTRAL VALLEY REGION <br />ORDER NO. 92-150 <br />NPOES NO. CA0082929 <br />WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS <br />GENERAL ORDER FOR DISCHARGE <br />OF GROUND WATER FROM CLEANUP OF <br />PETROLEUM FUEL POLLUTION <br />TO SURFACE WATERS <br />The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region, <br />(hereafter Board) finds that: <br />1. The presence of fuel constituents in the ground water at various sites <br />throughout the region poses a threat to existing and potential beneficial <br />uses of the ground water. As responsible parties investigate and <br />remediate these sites, the number of ground water cleanups of fuel <br />constituents is increasing. Remediation at many of these site includes <br />ground water treatment, with discharge of the treated ground water. This <br />permit covers the discharge of treated ground water, from cleanups of fuel <br />constituents, to waters of the United States. <br />2. The discharge of wastewater from a ground water treatment system to <br />navigable water, other than through a community wastewater collection and <br />treatment system, is a discharge of waste that could affect the quality of <br />the waters of the United States. <br />3. Wastewater from a ground water cleanup can include the following: <br />a. Treated ground water which had been polluted with fuel constituents, <br />b. Unpolluted ground water pumped from beneath a layer of free product <br />in order to establish a cone of depression to aid in the containment <br />and extraction of the free product, <br />C. Potentially polluted ground water extracted during short- and long- <br />term pump tests, <br />d. Potentially polluted well development water, <br />e. Potentially polluted purge water prior to well sampling. <br />These wastewaters may be produced and treated on a continuous or batch <br />basis. <br />4. The Board may prescribe requirements for any discharge, in accordance with <br />Section 13263 of the California Water Code. <br />5.
