Units Concentrations <br /> BODS mg/l 401/801 <br /> TDS mg/l 4502 <br /> 4 <br /> Nitrate mg/l 10'/45 <br /> Sulfate mg/1 2505 <br /> 1 Technological standards easily achieved with proper design and operation. <br /> 2 Agricultural Water Quality Goal <br /> 3 Primary MCL(as nitrogen). <br /> 4 Primary MCL(as nitrate). <br /> 5 Recommended upper level for Secondary MCL. <br /> 24. The Board reviewed the 21 January 1998 California Environmental Quality Act document <br /> certified by the San Joaquin County Community Development Department. <br /> 25. The discharge to land of wastewater may result in an increase in concentration of total dissolved <br /> solids, specific conductivity, nitrates, and biochemical oxygen demand in groundwater. State <br /> Water Resources Control Board Resolution 68-16 allows degradation of waters of the state if the <br /> change in quality is consistent with the maximum benefit to the people of the state,will not <br /> unreasonably affect present and anticipated beneficial uses of such water, and will not exceed <br /> applicable water quality objectives. In addition,the discharge must meet requirements that result <br /> in"best practicable treatment or control of the discharge"to assure that pollution or nuisance will <br /> not occur. To remain consistent with Resolution 68-16 the discharge shall not decade <br /> groundwater at levels greater than specified in these waste discharge requirements within the <br /> point of compliance and shall not unreasonably affect beneficial uses or cause nuisance. The <br /> waste discharge requirements allow wastewater treatment necessary to accommodate housing and <br /> economic expansion in the area and are consistent with the maximum benefit to the people of the <br /> state. If monitoring of groundwater indicates that the discharge has caused an increase in <br /> constituent concentrations,when compared to background, the Discharger will be required to <br /> conduct a study of the extent of groundwater degradation. The Discharger may be required to <br /> cease the discharge, change the method of disposal to provide the best practicable treatment, or <br /> take other action. <br /> 26. This discharge is exempt from the requirements of Consolidated Regulations for Treatment, <br /> Storage,Processing, or Disposal of Solid Waste, as set forth in Title 27, California Code of <br /> Regulations (CCR), Division 2, Subdivision 1, Section 20005, et seq., (hereinafter Title 27). The <br /> exemption,pursuant to Section 20090(b), is based on the following: <br /> a. The Board is issuing waste discharge requirements, and <br /> b. The discharge complies with the Basin Plan, and <br />
