Minimization (Does the project minimize any adverse effects to the impacted wetlands?) <br /> 3. Mitigation (Does the project mitigate to assure a no net loss of functional values?) <br /> Section 404 Permit <br /> If the project will involve the discharge of dredged or fill material into navigable waters or <br /> wetlands, a permit pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act may be needed from the <br /> US Army Corps of Engineers. If a Section 404 permit is required by the Corps, the Board will <br /> review the permit application to ensure that discharge will not violate water quality standards. <br /> If the project requires surface water drainage realignment, the applicant is advised to contact <br /> the Department of Fish and Game for information on Streambed Alteration Permit <br /> requirements. If a Section 404 permit is required, the proponent must apply to the Regional <br /> Board for a Water Quality Certification under Section 401. <br /> Dewaterinq Permit <br /> The proponent may be required to file a Dewatering Permit covered under WDRs General <br /> Order for Dewatering and Other Low Threat Discharges to Surface Waters Permit, Order No. <br /> 5-00-175 (NPDES CAG995001). The following discharges may be covered by this permit <br /> provided they do not contain significant quantities of pollutants and are either (1) four months <br /> or less in duration, or (2) the average dry weather discharge does not exceed 0.25 million <br /> gallons per day (mgd): <br /> a. Well development water <br /> b. Construction dewatering <br /> c. Pump/well testing <br /> d. Pipeline/tank pressure testing <br /> e. Pipeline/tank flushing or dewatering <br /> f. Condensate discharges <br /> g. Water Supply system discharges <br /> h.
