WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMEPTS ORDER NO. -8- PAT MITCHELL AND CALIFORNIA NATURAL PRODUCTS WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL FACILITY SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY 44. The Board has considered anti-degradation pursuant to State Board Resolution No. 68-16 and finds that not enough data exists to determine whether this discharge is consistent with those provisions. Therefore, this Order provides a schedule for data collection to determine whether the discharge will cause an increase in groundwater constituents above that of background levels. If the discharge is causing such an increase, then the Discharger may be required to cease the discharge, implement source control, change the method of disposal, or take other action to prevent groundwater degradation. 45. The action to adopt waste discharge requirements for this facility is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA),in accordance with Title 14, California Code of Regulations (CCR), Section 15301. 46. The Discharge of waste is a privilege, not a right, and authorization to discharge is conditional upon the discharge complying with provisions of Division 7 of the California Water Code and any more stringent effluent limitations necessary to implement water quality control plans, to protect beneficial uses, and to prevent nuisance conditions. 47. This discharge is exempt from the requirements of Consolidated Regulations for Treatment, Storage, Processing, or Disposal of Solid Waste, as set forth in Title 27, CCR, Division 2, Subdivision 1, Section 2005, et seq., (hereafter Title 27). The exemption pursuant to Section 20090(b), is based on the following: a. The Board is issuing waste discharge requirements, b. The discharge complies with the Basin Plan, and c. The wastewater does not need to be managed according to Title 22 CCR,Division 4.5, and Chapter 11, as a hazardous waste. 48. The Board has notified the Discharger and interested agencies and persons of its intent to prescribe waste discharge requirements for this discharge and has provided them with an opportunity for a public hearing and an opportunity to submit their written views and recommendations. 49. The Board, in a public meeting, heard and considered all comments pertaining to the discharge. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Order No. 98-223 is rescinded and Pat Mitchell and California Natural Products (CNP), its agents, successors, and assigns, in order to meet the provisions contained in Division 7 of the California Water Code and regulations adopted thereunder, shall comply with the following: Note: Other prohibitions, conditions, defnitions, and the method of determining compliance are contained in the attached "Standard Provisions and Reporting Requirements for Waste Discharge Requirements"dated I March 1991. i
