The discharge described in these WDRs is consistent with the Negative Declaration and no new significant impacts are expected from the discharge allowed by these WDRs.

On 5 April 2001, the San Joaquin County Community Development Department adopted a Negative Declaration for construction of a wastewater storage pond. 94. As stated in CWC, §13263(g), discharge is a privilege,not a right, and this conditional authorization to discharge while obtaining technical documentation for a future decision does not in any way create a vested right to continue the discharge. Failure to provide the level of management required preclude conditions that threaten pollution or nuisance will be sufficient reason to modify, revoke, or enforce this Order, as well as prohibit further discharge.
