The Antidegradation Policy is available on page IV-15.01 at: http://www.waterboards.ca.gov/board decisions/adopted orders/resolutions/1968/rs68 016.pdf In part it states: Any discharge of waste to high quality waters must apply best practicable treatment or control not only to prevent a condition of pollution or nuisance from occurring, but also to maintain the highest water quality possible consistent with the maximum benefit to the people of the State. This information must be presented as an analysis of the impacts and potential impacts of the discharge on water quality, as measured by background concentrations and applicable water quality objectives. The antidegradation analysis is a mandatory element in the NPDES and land discharge WDRs permitting process. The environmental review document should evaluate potential impacts to both surface and groundwater quality.
