QX-91-0006 (RAA) Project - 6 - 18 October 2019 <br /> San Joaquin County <br /> 2. Obtain Coverage Under the General Waste Discharge Requirements for <br /> Individual Growers, General Order R5-2013-0100. Dischargers not <br /> participating in a third-party group (Coalition) are regulated individually. <br /> Depending on the specific site conditions, growers may be required to <br /> monitor runoff from their property, install monitoring wells, and submit a <br /> notice of intent, farm plan, and other action plans regarding their actions to <br /> comply with their General Order. Yearly costs would include State <br /> administrative fees (for example, annual fees for farm sizes from 11-100 <br /> acres are currently $1,277 + $8.53/Acre); the cost to prepare annual <br /> monitoring reports; and water quality monitoring costs. To enroll as an <br /> Individual Discharger under the Irrigated Lands Regulatory Program, call the <br /> Central Valley Water Board phone line at (916) 464-4611 or e-mail board <br /> staff at IrrLands@waterboards.ca.gov. <br /> Limited Threat General NPDES Permit <br /> If the proposed project includes construction dewatering and it is necessary to <br /> discharge the groundwater to waters of the United States, the proposed project will <br /> require coverage under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System <br /> (NPDES) permit. Dewatering discharges are typically considered a low or limited <br /> threat to water quality and may be covered under the General Order for Limited <br /> Threat Discharges to Surface Water(Limited Threat General Order). A complete <br /> Notice of Intent must be submitted to the Central Valley Water Board to obtain <br /> coverage under the Limited Threat General Order. For more information regarding <br /> the Limited Threat General Order and the application process, visit the Central <br /> Valley Water Board website at: <br /> https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/centralvalley/board decisions/adopted orders/gen <br /> eral orders/r5-2016-0076-01.pdf <br /> NPDES Permit <br /> If the proposed project discharges waste that could affect the quality of surface _ <br /> waters of the State, other than into a community sewer system, the proposed <br /> project will require coverage under a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination <br /> System (NPDES) permit. A complete Report of Waste Discharge must be submitted <br /> with the Central Valley Water Board to obtain a NPDES Permit. For more <br /> information regarding the NPDES Permit and the application process, visit the <br /> Central Valley Water Board website at: <br /> https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/centralvalley/help/permit/ <br /> If you have questions regarding these comments, please contact me at (916) 464-4812 <br /> or Jordan.Hensley@waterboards.ca.gov. <br /> Jordan Hensley <br /> Environmental Scientist <br />
