Because you are proposing to discharge waste to land you must obtain Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs). To initiate the WDRs preparation process, please submit a Report of Waste Discharge (RWD). The RWD consists of the enclosed Form 200, a technical report that will serve as your response to Sections VI and VII of Form 200, and a filing fee. The technical report must, at a minimum, address all items listed on the enclosed sheet entitled"Additional Information Requirements" and must be prepared under the supervision of a registered civil engineer. The RWD shall also include any additional information required to explain the site specific processes. The filing fee is based on the threat and complexity of the discharge, as described in the enclosed filing fee schedule. We have determined that this discharge is categorized as 3-B, with a $400 annual fee. Therefore, the RWD is to include a $400 check, made payable to the State Water Resources Control Board. Based on available information on The Home Church, the site may qualify for regulation under the General Order for Small Domestic Wastewater Systems. The monitoring requirements will be tailored to fit the actual wastewater treatment system. If after reviewing the RWD, staff determines the site does not qualify for a General Order, we will proceed with preparation and adoption of site-specific WDRs. As we discussed in our meeting, I am concerned about your proposed use of seepage pits for wastewater disposal. Attached to this letter is an EPA publication on seepage pits which explains many of the concerns. Please note that seepage pits are not recommended in areas where groundwater is used for drinking water except where the wastewater has been disinfected and denitrified. Your RWD must address the issues raised in the attached publication to be considered complete.
