*taw ..� WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS -7- CITY OF STOCKTON REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL PLANT SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY 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. 28. 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 that 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 Clean Water Act (CWA). 29. The SWRCB adopted Order No. 91-13-DWQ (General Permit No. CAS000001) specifying waste discharge requirements for discharges of storm water associated with industrial activities, excluding construction activities, and requiring submittal of a Notice of Intent by industries to be covered under the permit. This Order further specified that if an individual permit is adopted for storm water runoff from a facility, then the General Permit would no longer apply. This individual permit and the provisions it contains concerning stormwater relieves the Discharger from seeking coverage under the General Permit. Since all stormwater which falls on the treatment plant site is collected and pumped to the headworks of the plant, a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan has not been required in this permit. Reclamation 30. The Discharger has requested to be allowed to supply chlorinated secondary treated wastewater for specific reclamation uses, including dust control and compaction by building contractors, street sweeping, and use in a local concrete batch plant to mix concrete. Wastewater is also currently being used to irrigate 13 acres of agricultural land located adjacent to the polishing ponds, pursuant to Order No. 78-229. The Discharger may request additional reclamation uses in accordance with Provision 8, so long as those uses are within the regulatory scope of this Order. 31. 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. 32. The Board has consulted with the Department of Health Services, County Department of Public Health Services, and Mosquito Abatement District and considered their recommendations regarding public health aspects for use of reclaimed water.
