40 <br /> WASTE DISCHARGE REQOEMENTS ORDER NO. 2000-**** -7- <br /> CITY OF LODI <br /> WHITE SLOUGH WATER POLLUTION CONTROL PLANT <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> sampling events; six of the 19 samples had high reporting limits Og 0.25 µg/l. DDT (also an <br /> organochlorine pesticide) was reported in 1 of 17 sampling events. The single detection of DDT <br /> is not adequate evidence that there is reasonable potential to exceed the water quality objectives. <br /> However, per the Basin Plan requirements, this Order applies a non-detectable limitation to each <br /> individual organochlorine pesticide at any detection level. No individual pesticide may be <br /> present in the discharge at detectable concentrations. The Discharger should use EPA standard <br /> analytical techniques that have the lowest practical detection level for organochlorine pesticides <br /> with a maximum acceptable detection level of <br /> 0.02 µg/1. The Discharger is not currently capable of meeting this requirement with the current <br /> treatment facilities. <br /> 29. EPA has proposed adoption of the California Toxics Rule (CTR), which contains water quality <br /> standards applicable to discharges in California. Standards for the compounds in the CTR were <br /> not included in the National Toxics Rule (NTR). Some of the Standards in the proposed <br /> regulations differ from those in the NTR. Once adopted, federal regulations will require <br /> effluent limitations for all pollutants that are or may be discharged at a level that will cause or <br /> have the reasonable potential to cause, or contribute to an in-stream excursion above a CTR <br /> standard. A reopener clause is included in this permit to allow for inclusion of the new <br /> standards as they apply to this discharge. <br /> 30. Storm water runoff from the wastewater treatment plant is collected and recycled through the <br /> treatment system. <br /> 31. The California Department of Health Services has established statewide reclamation criteria in <br /> Title 22, California Code of Regulations, Section 60301, et seq. (hereafter Title 22) for the use <br /> of reclaimed water, and has developed guidelines for specific uses. <br /> 32. The Board has consulted with the Department of Health Services and San Joaquin County <br /> Mosquito Abatement District, and considered their recommendations regarding public health <br /> aspects for use of reclaimed water. <br /> 33. he United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has promulgated biosolids reuse <br /> regulations in 40 CFR 503, Standards for the Use or Disposal of Sewage Sludge, which <br /> establish management criteria for protection of ground and surface waters, set application rates <br /> for heavy metals, and establish stabilization and disinfection criteria. <br /> The Board is using the Standards in 40 CFR 503 as guidelines in establishing this Order,but the <br /> Board is not the implementing agency for the 40 CFR 503 regulations. The Discharger may <br /> have separate and/or additional compliance, reporting and permitting responsibilities to EPA, <br /> which are not covered by this Order. <br /> 34. The action to adopt an NPDES permit is exempt from the provisions of Chapter 3 of the <br /> California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code Section 21100, et seq.), <br /> requiring preparation of an environmental impact report or negative declaration in accordance <br />
