The discharge to land of wastewater may result in an increase in concentration of total dissolved <br /> solids, specific conductivity, nitrates, and biochemical oxygen demand in groundwater. State Water <br /> Resources Control Board Resolution 68-16 allows degradation of waters of the state if the change <br /> in quality is consistent with the maximum benefit to the people of the state, will not unreasonably <br /> affect present and anticipated beneficial uses of such water, and will not exceed applicable water <br /> quality objectives. In addition, the discharge must meet requirements that result in"best practicable <br /> treatment or control of the discharge"to assure that pollution or nuisance will not occur. To remain <br /> consistent with Resolution 68-16 the discharge shall not degrade groundwater at levels greater than <br /> specified in these waste discharge requirements within the point of compliance and shall not <br /> unreasonably affect beneficial uses or cause nuisance. If monitoring of groundwater indicates that <br /> the discharge has caused an increase in constituent concentrations, when compared to background, <br /> the Discharger will be required to conduct a study of the extent of groundwater degradation. The <br /> Discharger maybe required to cease the discharge, change the method of disposal to provide the <br /> best practicable treatment, or take other action. <br /> 30. Section 13267(b) of California Water Code provides that: "In conducting an investigation <br /> specified in subdivision(a), the regional board may require that any person who has discharged, <br /> discharges, or is suspected of discharging, or who proposes to discharge within its region, or any <br /> citizen or domiciliary, or political agency or entity of this state who has discharged, discharges, or is <br /> suspected of discharging, or who proposes to discharge waste outside of its region that could affect <br /> the quality of the waters of the state within its region shall furnish, under penalty of perjury, <br /> technical or monitoring program reports which the board requires. The burden, including costs of <br /> these reports, shall bear a reasonable relationship to the need for the reports and the benefits to be <br /> obtained from the reports." <br /> 31. This discharge is exempt from the requirements of Consolidated Regulations for Treatment, <br /> Storage, Processing, or Disposal of Solid Waste, as set forth in Title 27, California Code of <br /> Regulations (CCR), Division 2, Subdivision 1, Section 20005, et seq., (hereinafter Title 27). The <br /> exemption, pursuant to Section 20090(b), is based on the following: <br /> a. The Board is issuing waste discharge requirements, and <br /> b. The discharge complies with the Basin Plan, and <br /> C. The wastewater does not need to be managed according to 22 CCR, Division 4.5, <br /> Chapter 11, as a hazardous waste. <br /> 32. The Board has notified the Discharger and interested agencies and persons of its intent to prescribe <br /> waste discharge requirements for this discharge and has provided an opportunity for a public <br /> hearing and an opportunity to submit written comments. <br /> 33. The Board, in a public meeting, heard and considered all comments pertaining to the discharge. <br /> C:Tmject_Fileslitm\Wild Rosc\W ose_dft WDR.doc <br />
