WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS -5- <br />GENERAL ORDER FOR DISCHARGE OF <br />GROUND WATER FROM CLEANUP OF <br />PETROLEUM FUEL POLLUTION <br />TO SURFACE WATERS <br />24. The action to adopt an NPDES permit is exempt from the provisions of <br />California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section <br />21000, et seg.), in accordance with Section 13389 of the California Water <br />Code. <br />25. The Board has notified interested agencies and persons of its intent to <br />prescribe waste discharge requirements in this General Order and has <br />provided them with an opportunity for a public hearing and an opportunity <br />to submit their written views and recommendations. <br />26. The Board, in a public meeting, heard and considered all comments <br />pertaining to the discharge. <br />27. This Order shall serve as an NPOES permit pursuant to Section 402 of the <br />Clean Water Act, and amendments thereto, and shall take effect upon the <br />date of hearing, provided EPA has no objections. <br />IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, that dischargers, in order to meet the provisions contained <br />in Division 7 of the California Water Code, shall comply with the following: <br />A. Applicability <br />1. All discharges covered by this Order shall be limited to ground <br />water from the investigation and cleanup of petroleum fuel <br />pollution. <br />2. Persons seeking coverage under this Order shall submit an NPDES <br />Application Form 1 and 20 for Permit to Discharge and a complete <br />Report of Waste Discharge (as detailed in Attachment A) along with <br />an appropriate filing fee. <br />3. If the Executive Officer finds that the proposed discharge qualifies <br />for coverage under this Order, the Discharger shall be issued a <br />Notification of Applicability statement. Individual dischargers are <br />not covered by this Order until they have been issued a Notification <br />of Applicability by the Executive Officer. If a proposed discharge <br />does not qualify for this general permit, it will receive its own <br />permit. <br />B. Discharge Prohibitions <br />1. Discharge of material other than ground water from the investigation <br />and cleanup of petroleum fuel pollution, or discharge from the <br />investigation of petroleum fuel pollution where other contaminants <br />exist in the ground water, is prohibited. <br />
