Standard Provisions And Reporting Requirements SPRR-3 Waste Discharge Requirements General Order No. R5-2013-0122 Existing Milk Cow Dairies 14. The Discharger shall ensure compliance with existing and/or future promulgated standards that apply to the discharge. 15. The Discharger shall permit representatives of the Central Valley Water Board and the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board), upon presentations of credentials at reasonable hours, to: a. Enter premises where wastes are treated, stored, or disposed and where any records required by the Order are kept; b. Copy any records required to be kept under terms and conditions of the Order; C. Inspect facilities, equipment (monitoring and control), practices, or operations regulated or required by the Order; and d. Sample, photograph, and/or video tape any discharge, waste, waste management unit, or monitoring device. 16. The Discharger shall properly operate and maintain in good working order any facility, unit, system, or monitoring device installed to achieve compliance with the Order. Proper operation and maintenance includes best practicable treatment and controls, and the appropriate quality assurance procedures. 17. Animal waste storage areas and containment structures shall be designed, constructed, and maintained to limit, to the greatest extent possible, infiltration, inundation, erosion, slope failure, washout, overtopping, by-pass, and overflow. 18. Setbacks or separation distances contained under Water Wells, Section 8, Part II, in the California Well Standards, Supplemental Bulletin 74-90 (June 1991), and Bulletin 94-81 (December 1981), California Department of Water Resources (DWR), shall be maintained for the installation of all monitoring wells and groundwater supply wells at existing dairies. A setback of 100 feet is required between supply wells and animal enclosures in the production area. A minimum setback of 100 feet, or other control structures (such as housing, berming, grading), shall be required for the protection of existing wells or new wells installed in the cropland. If a county or local agency adopts more stringent setback standards than that adopted by the DWR, then these local standards shall carry precedence over the Well Standards of DWR, and the Discharger shall comply with the more stringent standards. 19. Following any storm event that causes the freeboard of any wastewater holding pond to be less than one (1) foot for below-grade ponds, or two (2) feet for above- grade ponds, the Discharger shall take action as soon as possible to provide the appropriate freeboard in the wastewater holding pond.
