STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD - 29 - <br /> ORDER <br /> 29 - <br /> ORDER WQ 2014-0153-DWQ <br /> GENERAL WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS <br /> FOR SMALL DOMESTIC WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEMS <br /> ii. Sludge Handling - A description of the sludge handling equipment, <br /> operational controls, and disposal procedures. <br /> iii. Collection System Maintenance - A description of collection system cleaning <br /> and maintenance, equipment tests, and alarm functionality tests to minimize <br /> the potential for wastewater spills originating in the collection system or <br /> headworks. For collection systems subject to State Water Board Order <br /> No. 2006-0003-DWQ, reports prepared to comply with the State Water <br /> Board Order No. 2006-0003-DWQ satisfy this requirement. <br /> iv. Emergency Response - A description of emergency response procedures <br /> including for emergencies such as power outage, severe weather, flooding, <br /> or inadequate freeboard (for systems with wastewater or recycled water <br /> ponds). An equipment and telephone list for contractors/consultants, <br /> emergency personnel, and equipment vendors. <br /> V. Notification Procedures - Coordination procedures with fire, police, <br /> Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES), Regional Water Board, <br /> and local county health department personnel. <br /> The Response Plan shall be maintained at the treatment facility and shall be <br /> presented to the Regional Water Board staff upon request. <br /> b. Within 90 days of the issuance of an NOA containing an MRP, the Discharger <br /> shall prepare and implement a written sampling and analysis plan (SAP) sufficient <br /> to assure compliance with the terms of this General Order and the NOA. Anyone <br /> performing sampling on behalf of the Discharger shall be familiar with the SAP. <br /> SAPs shall address the need for sample filtration and how filtration will be <br /> accomplished. When sampling groundwater or liquid waste, the chemical <br /> constituents available to migrate shall be considered. In general, dissolved waste <br /> constituents can migrate through soil to groundwater or surface water. In cases <br /> where the waste only threatens groundwater, samples shall be filtered prior to <br /> chemical preservation, digestion, or analysis for some analytes. If overland flow of <br /> liquid waste to surface water is possible, the total constituent concentrations may <br /> be available for movement and analyses shall be conducted on unfiltered <br /> samples. <br /> At a minimum, the SAP shall describe the following: <br /> i. Sample chain-of-custody procedures and documentation. <br /> ii. Sampling locations. <br /> iii. Sampling frequencies. <br /> iv. Sample handling/preservation procedures. <br /> v. Analytical methods. <br /> vi. Sample containers, preservatives, and holding times. <br /> vii. For groundwater monitoring, well purging and field methods. <br /> September 23, 2014 <br />
