Craig Hoffman City of Lodi -2- 10 February 2017 In accordance with California Water Code Section 13260, the project proponent is required to submit a Report of Waste Discharge (RWD) to apply for the General Order. We recommend that the RWD be submitted 3 to 6 months before the expected startup date. For more information on the Recycled Water General Order (Order No. 2014-0090-DWQ), visit the State Water Resources Control Board website at: http•*I/www.waterboards.ca.gov/board decisions/adopted orders water qua1i1y120141wgo2014_ 0090 dwq_revised.pdf For more information on waste discharges to land, visit the Central Valley Water Board's website at: http.//Www.waterboards.ca.govlcentralvalley/water issues/waste to land/index.shtml Antidegradation Considerations All wastewater discharges must comply with the Antidegradation Policy (State Water Board Resolution 68-16) and the Antidegradation Implementation Policy contained in the Basin Plan. 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. Construction Storm Water General Permit Dischargers whose project disturb one or more acres of soil or where projects disturb less than one acre but are part of a larger common plan of development that in total disturbs one or more acres, are required to obtain coverage under the General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activities (Construction General Permit), Construction General Permit Order No. 2009-009-DWQ. Construction activity subject to this permit includes clearing, grading, grubbing, disturbances to the ground, such as stockpiling, or excavation, but does not include regular maintenance activities performed to restore the original line, grade, or capacity of the facility. The Construction General Permit requires the development and implementation of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
