ED_001523_00000505-00002
Elimination System (NPDES) general permit and waste discharge requirements for limited threat discharges to surface water. The final order addressed discharges of treated or untreated groundwater from cleanup sites, wastewater from superchlorination projects, and other limited threat wastewaters to surface waters and revises permit eligibility requirements to allow usage by low-threat dischargers and hard rock mines. The order also establishes new discharge tiers and specifies effluent limitations and monitoring and reporting requirements for permittees. The amendments would authorize the executive director to waive the salinity evaluation and minimization plan requirement in the notice of applicability under limited circumstances and add effluent and receiving water temperature limitations. The amendments also would clarify that screening levels for iron and manganese are evaluated as dissolved metals and that reasonable potential analyses may be conducted based on the annual average effluent concentration. In addition, the amendments would remove the requirement to submit acute whole effluent toxicity data with notice of intent applications for Tier 2 discharges. A hearing is scheduled for Dec. 7-8, 2017, in Rancho Cordova. Comments are due Oct. 27, 2017. Contact: Jim Marshall; Central Valley RWQCB; 916-464-4772; jdmarshall@waterboards.ca.gov
