WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS ORDER NO. 2000-**** -18- CITY OF LODI WHITE SLOUGH WATER POLLUTION CONTROL PLANT SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY The Discharger shall submit to the Board on or before each compliance report due date, the specified document or, if appropriate, a written report detailing compliance or noncompliance with the specific schedule date and task. If noncompliance is being reported, the reasons for such noncompliance shall be stated, plus an estimate of the date when the Discharger will be in compliance. The Discharger shall notify the Board by letter when it returns to compliance with the time schedule. 3. The Discharger shall post Dredger Cut as a wastewater disposal area until such time as the discharge is in compliance with Effluent Limitation B.3. 4. The Discharger shall submit a report that evaluates its ability to comply with Biosolids Specifications within 90 days of adoption of this Order for approval by the Executive Officer. 5. The Discharger shall submit a report that evaluates its ability to comply with Effluent Limitation B. 5., and Receiving Water Limitations F. 9. and F. 10. for temperature within 180 days of adoption of this Order, for approval by the Executive Officer. 6. The Discharger shall conduct monitoring for mercury as specified in the Monitoring and Reporting Program. If after review of the monitoring results it has been determined that the discharge has a reasonable potential to cause or contribute to an exceedance of a water quality objective, this Order will be reopened and effluent limits added for mercury. 7. Due to the listing of mercury on the California 303 (d) list as a pollutant causing impairment of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the discharge must not cause or contribute to increased mercury levels in fish tissue to meet the requirements of the anti- degradation policy described in SWRCB Resolution No. 68-16 and the anti degradation provision in 40 CFR 131.12 (a) (1). Therefore, the Discharger shall develop a mercury source reduction workplan acceptable to the Executive Officer within six (6) months after adoption of this Order. The purpose of the workplan is to investigate the causes of, and identify corrective control actions to control mercury loadings. The workplan shall include, at a minimum: source reduction activities under the pretreatment program; a public outreach program to eliminate or minimize the use of mercury thermometers, discharge of amalgam from dental offices, and regarding proper collection and disposal of fluorescent bulbs; and reductions in discharges to the river through reclamation of treated wastewater; preventative measures to minimize mercury discharges from new industry, commercial establishments and residential developments. The workplan will include a time schedule by which source control efforts identified in the approved workplan shall be implemented. Pretreatment related activities shall commence immediately upon approval of the workplan. The workplan shall become an enforceable part of the permit upon approval of the Executive Officer.
