'The Water Quality Control Plans encourage the disposal of wastewater on <br /> land where practicable, and require applicants for discharge permits to <br /> evaluateland disposal as an alternative. Where studies show that year- i <br /> round la nd.disposal: is not practicable, the Board will require dischargers <br /> to evaluate dry season land disposal as.an alternative. , <br /> i <br /> 18. The Board has considered antidegradation pursuant to 40 CFR 131.12 and <br /> State Water Resources Control Board Resolution 68-16 and finds that the <br /> subject discharges are normally consistent with those provisions.

On 11 April 1991 , the State Board also adopted the California <br /> Enclosed Bays and Estuaries Plan (EBEP) which is applicable to all <br /> discharges within the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. . As all portions of <br /> the Sacramento-San�Joaquin Delta within the Central Valley Region provide <br /> freshwater habitat and drinking water supply, 'at least during periods of <br /> high Delta outflow, the fresh water quality standards contained in the <br /> ISWP will be `appJed to all °discharges covered by this Order. . <br /> 20: , The ISWP establishes numeric `�rece`iving water •limitations in Tables I and <br /> 2 to protect aquatic life and human health. "' Numerical ' effluent <br /> limitations, other than for . benzene, are not required because, the <br /> s3 � discharges are not likely to contain significant concentrations of any of <br /> the 'other-substances listed in Tables 1 and 2. ,.
