<br />STANDARD PROVISIONS AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS, JANUARY 2012 - 25 - <br />FOR WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS <br />FOR DISCHARGES REGULATED BY SUBTITLE D AND/OR TITLE 27 <br /> <br /> <br />verification procedure shall include either a single “composite” retest <br />(i.e., a statistical analysis that augments and reanalyzes the data from <br />the monitoring point that indicated a release) or shall consist of at least <br />two “discrete” retests (i.e., statistical analyses each of which analyzes <br />only newly-acquired data from the monitoring point that indicated a <br />release) [Title 27, § 20415(e)(8)(E)]. The Discharger may use an <br />alternate method previously approved by the Central Valley Water Board <br />and included in the Monitoring and Reporting Program. The verification <br />procedure shall comply with the requirements of Title 27, section <br />20415(e)(8)(E) in addition to the performance standards of Title 27, <br />section 20415(e)(9). The retest samples shall be collected from the <br />monitoring point where the release is preliminarily indicated and shall be <br />analyzed for the constituents that caused the need for the retest. For <br />any indicated monitoring parameter or constituent of concern, if the <br />retest results of one or more of the retest data suites confirm the original <br />indication, the Discharger shall conclude that measurably significant <br />evidence of a release has been confirmed. <br />2) Confirmation of a Release. As soon as the retest data are available, <br />the Discharger shall evaluate the results pursuant to paragraph I.47.b.1, <br />above and shall: <br /> <br />a) Immediately verbally notify the Central Valley Water Board whether <br />or not the retest confirmed measurably significant evidence of a <br />release for the analyte at the monitoring point, and follow up with <br />written notification submitted by certified mail within seven days of <br />the verbal notification; and <br /> <br />b) Carry out the requirements of Section J, RESPONSE TO A <br />RELEASE if a release has been confirmed. <br /> <br />c) Add any five-year analyte that is confirmed per this method to the <br />monitoring parameter list such that it is monitored during each regular <br />monitoring event. <br /> <br />48. Physical Evidence of a Release. If the Discharger determines that there is a <br />significant physical evidence of a release, the Discharger shall immediately <br />verbally notify Central Valley Water Board staff and provide written notification <br />by certified mail within 7 days of such determination, and within 90 days shall <br />submit an amended report of waste discharge to establish an Evaluation <br />Monitoring Program [Title 27, § 20385(a)(3) and § 20420(l)(1) & (2)]. <br /> <br />J.
