RECLAMATION 15. The California Department of Health Services has established statewide reclamation criteria in Title 22, California Code of Regulations, Section 60301, et seq. (hereafter Title 22) for the use of reclaimed water and has developed guidelines for specific uses. 16. The Board has consulted with the Department of Health Services, San Joaquin County Department of Public Health Services, and the San Joaquin County Mosquito Abatement District and considered their recommendations regarding public health aspects for use of reclaimed water. PRETREATMENT 17. The Discharger is required to protect the environment to the greatest degree possible (Public Resources Code, Section 21000, et seq.) . A Pretreatment Program is needed to protect the receiving waters, the ground water underlying the reclamation areas, the sludge from being hazardous or otherwise interfering with the Discharger's reuse or disposal plans, and the treatment plant from upsets. 18. The Discharger developed a pretreatment program in conformance with 40 CFR Part 403 which was approved on 10 March 1983. STORM WATER 19. Federal Regulations for storm water discharges were promulgated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) on 16 November 1990 (40 CFR Parts 122, 123, and 124) . The regulations require specific categories of facilities, which discharge storm water associated with industrial activity (storm water) , to obtain NPDES permits and to implement Best Available Technology Economically Achievable (BAT) and Best Conventional Pollutant Control Technology (BCT) to reduce or eliminate industrial storm water pollution. 20. Regulated storm water discharges include those from facilities used in the storage, treatment, recycling, and reclamation of municipal or domestic sewage, including land dedicated to the disposal of sewage sludge what are located within the confines of the facility, with a design flow of 1 mgd or more, or required to have an approved pretreatment program under 40 CFR Part 403. Not included are farm lands, domestic gardens, or lands used for sludge management where sludge is beneficially reused and which are not physically located in the confines of the facility, or areas that are in compliance with Section 405 of the CWA.
