Attachment C C-13 Reissued Waste Discharge Requirements General Order R5-2013-0122 Existing Milk Cow Dairies 2. Land Application Specification E.7 of the Order: "Land application areas that receive dry manure shall be managed through implementation of erosion control measures to minimize erosion and must be consistent with a certified Nutrient Management Plan." Vl. Wastewater Management on Land Application Areas Control of water and process wastewater applications and runoff is a part of proper nutrient management since water transports nutrients, salts, and other constituents from cropland to groundwater and surface water. The Discharger shall comply with the following provisions of the Order, which place requirements on applications of manure and process wastewater to, and runoff from, cropland: A. Prohibition A.3 of the Order: "The discharge of waste from existing milk cow dairies to surface waters which causes or contributes to an exceedance of any applicable water quality objective in the Basin Plans or any applicable state or federal water quality criteria, or a violation of any applicable state or federal policies or regulations is prohibited." B. Prohibition A.4 of the Order: "The collection, treatment, storage, discharge or disposal of wastes at an existing milk cow dairy shall not result in the creation of a condition of pollution or nuisance." C. Prohibition A.10 of the Order: "The discharge of wastewater to surface waters from cropland is prohibited. Irrigation supply water that comes into contact or is blended with waste or wastewater shall be considered wastewater under this Prohibition." D. Prohibition A.11 of the Order: "The application of process wastewater to a land application area before, during, or after a storm event that would result in runoff of the applied water is prohibited." E. Prohibition A.12 of the Order: "The discharge of storm water to surface water from a land application area where manure or process wastewater has been applied is prohibited unless the land application area has been managed consistent with a certified Nutrient Management Plan."
