WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS ORDER NO. R5-2003-0044 -3- GENERAL ORDER FOR LAND DISPOSAL OF GROUNDWATER OR SURFACE WATER FROM CLEANUP OF PETROLEUM FUEL POLLUTION 11. Treated wastewater may either be disposed of by subsurface injection, subsurface infiltration, surface infiltration, evaporation, land spreading, spray disposal, reclaimed through irrigation of landscape or selected crops,or industrial processes. 12. The discharge of wastewater from a treatment system, other than to a community sanitary waste collection system, is a discharge of waste that could affect the quality of the waters of the State. Requirements must be prescribed for any discharge of waste that may affect the quality of the waters of the State, in accordance with California Water Code Section 13263. 13. A separate Notice of Intent must be filed for each discharge intended for coverage under this Order. The Notice of Intent shall consist of the Report of Waste Discharge, filing fee and, at a minimum, the contents detailed in Attachment A, entitled "Application Requirements". 14. The combined category of discharges covered by this Order have a Threat to Water Quality (TTWQ) and Complexity (CPLX) of 3B as defined in Title 23 California Code of Regulations (CCR) Division 3, Chapter 9, Section 2200 (CCR). Discharges with a category TTWQ of "3" are those discharges of waste that could degrade water quality without violating water quality objectives, or cause a minor impairment of designated beneficial uses. Discharges that use physical, chemical, or biological treatment systems have a CPLX category of"B". 15. Authorization to discharge will only be extended to persons who have filed the requisite Notice of Intent and have in their possession a "Notification of Applicability" from the Executive Officer. For purposes of this Order, those persons are "Dischargers" as used herein. 16. Best Practicable Treatment and Control technology includes, but is not limited to, air stripping and/or activated carbon and other processes capable of dependably removing petroleum fuel constituents to concentrations that are non-detectable by current analytical technology. Biotreatment, UV/Ozone, ion exchange resins, and other treatment technologies may be proposed,but if utilized must achieve the same treatment standard. 17. The current acceptable analytical methods are as follows: Analytical ** Constituent Units Method Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons EPA Method 8015B/5030 & Gasoline, Diesel, and Fuel Oil n/l 8015B/3510 & 8260B Benzene lxg/I EPA Method 8021B/8260B
