The Antidegradation Implementation Policy is available on page 74 at : https : //www . waterboards . ca . qov/centralvalley/water issues/ basin plans /sacsjr 2018 05 . 0 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 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and land discharge Waste Discharge Requirements ( WDRs ) permitting processes . The environmental review document should evaluate potential impacts to both surface and groundwater quality . II .
