4 <br /> Frank Beeler - 3 - 16 July 2003 <br /> City of Lodi Public Works Department <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> Pursuant to California Water Code Section (CWC) 13271 and California Code of Regulations, Title 23, <br /> Division 3, Chapter 9.2, Section 2250, sewage spills of 1,000 gallons or more discharged in or on any <br /> waters of the state require reporting to Office of Emergency Services (OES). Per CWC §13271(g) <br /> reporting to OES on SSOs to waters of the state satisfies only the immediate notification requirement for <br /> any permitting agency. <br /> Order No. 5-00-031 and the Standard Provisions require any wastewater discharge not described in the <br /> Findings shall be reported. Neither makes reference to a minimum discharge volume that can be <br /> excluded from being reported. <br /> Therefore immediate reporting of an SSO of 1,000 gallons or greater shall be to OES and spills less than <br /> 1,000 gallons require immediate telephone notification to the Regional Board. And all SSOs require <br /> written notification to the Regional Board within 5 days. The Regional Board has the discretion to <br /> waive the written notice. The written notification shall state the nature, time, duration, cause of the <br /> noncompliance, and describe measures being taken to remedy the noncompliance and, prevent <br /> recurrence including, where applicable, a schedule of implementation. <br /> In some cases the Regional Board may ask the City to directly notify the Department of Fish and Game <br /> and the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department. <br /> If you have any questions or comments regarding this letter, Order No. 5-00-031, or the "Standard <br /> Provisions,"please call me at (916) 255-3022 or E-mail <lockwog@rb5s.swrcb.ca.gov>. <br /> Q_ <br /> GEORGE LOCKWOOD <br /> NPDES Unit <br /> Delta Watershed <br /> cc Erick Veelhauer, Department of Fish and Game, Rancho Cordova <br /> Dennis DeAnda, Department of Fish and Game, Rancho Cordova <br /> Donna Heran, San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department, Stockton <br />
