If an individual <br />discharge is classified as a major discharge, it will not be covered by <br />this General Permit. <br />This Order does not pre-empt or supersede the authority of local agencies <br />to prohibit, restrict, or control the discharge of ground water cleanup <br />wastewater subject to their control. <br />When individual waste discharge requirements are issued to a Discharger <br />otherwise subject to this Order, the applicability of this Order to the <br />Discharger is automatically terminated on the effective date of the <br />individual Order. <br />The Board has adopted a Water Quality Control Plan, 2nd Edition, for the <br />Sacramento River Basin (5A), Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Basin (56), and <br />the San Joaquin River Basin (5C). The Board has also adopted a Water <br />Quality Control Plan for the Tulare Lake Basin (5D). These Plans contain <br />water quality objectives for all waters of the Basins. These requirements <br />implement these Plans. <br />The designated beneficial uses of ground water within the Central Valley <br />Region are municipal, industrial, and agricultural supply, except where <br />lesser beneficial uses are designated in the Water Quality Control Plans. <br />The designated beneficial uses of surface water downstream of the <br />discharge are municipal and domestic, industrial, and agricultural supply; <br />water contact and noncontact recreation; esthetic enjoyment; navigation; <br />ground water recharge, fresh water replenishment; hydropower generation; <br />and preservation and enhancement of fish, wildlife and other aquatic <br />resources, except where other beneficial uses are designated in the Water <br />Quality Control Plans.
