STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD WATER QUALITY ORDER NO. 2003 - 0003 - DWQ

STATEWIDE GENERAL WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS (WDRs) FOR DISCHARGES TO LAND WITH A LOW THREAT TO WATER QUALITY (GENERAL WDRs)

The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) finds that:

  1. Section 13260(a) of the California Water Code (CWC) requires that any person discharging waste or proposing to discharge waste within any region, other than to a community sewer system, which could affect the quality of the waters of the State 1 , file a report of waste discharge (ROWD).
  2. The discharges to land with a low threat to water quality listed in Table 1 are low volume discharges with minimal pollutant concentrations and are disposed of by similar means. These discharges are appropriately regulated under General WDRs.

Table 1. Categories of Low Threat Discharges

CATEGORY

Wells/Boring Waste

Well Development Discharge

Monitoring Well Purge Water Discharge

Boring Waste Discharge

Clear Water Discharges

Water Main/ Water Storage Tank/ Water Hydrant Flushing

Pipelines/Tank Hydrostatic Testing Discharge

Commercial and Public Swimming Pools

Small Dewatering Projects

Small /Temporary Dewatering Projects (such as excavations during construction)

Miscellaneous

Small Inert Solid Waste Disposal Operations Cooling Discharge

See Attachment 1 to these General WDRs for discharge category definitions .

  1. All WDRs must implement the Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) for the Region affected by the discharge. These General WDRs require Dischargers to comply with all applicable Basin Plan provisions, including any prohibitions and water quality objectives governing the discharge.

1 -Waters of the State' as defined in CWC Section 13050(e)

  1. These General WDRs establish minimum standards for the discharges listed in Table 1. The Discharger must comply with any more stringent standards in the applicable Basin Plan. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of these General WDRs and the applicable Basin Plan, the more stringent provision prevails.
  2. The beneficial uses for the groundwaters of the State include, but are not limited to: municipal supply (MUN), industrial service supply (IND), industrial process supply (PROC), fresh water replenishment (FRESH), groundwater recharge (GWR), and agricultural supply (AGR).
  3. The discharges listed in Table 1 have the lowest Threat to Water Quality (TTWQ) and Complexity, as defined in Section 2200, Title 23 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR). Discharges with the lowest TTWQ are those discharges of waste that could degrade water quality without violating water quality objectives or cause a minor impairment of designated beneficial uses. Low threat discharges that do not require any chemical, biological, or physical treatment have the lowest Complexity rating.
  4. Dischargers seeking coverage under these General WDRs must file with the appropriate Regional Board: (a) a Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with the terms and conditions of these General WDRs or a ROWD 2 , (b) the applicable first annual fee as required by Title 23, CCR, Section 2200, (c) a project map, (d) evidence of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance, and (e) a discharger monitoring plan. Upon review by Regional Board staff, a determination will be made as to whether or not coverage under these General WDRs is appropriate. The Discharger will be notified by a letter from the Regional Board Executive Officer 3 when coverage under these General WDRs has begun.
  5. Dischargers with low threat discharges listed in Table 1 currently covered by waivers or individual WDRs need not apply for coverage under these General WDRs unless requested to do so by the Regional Board.
  6. Although a discharge may be eligible for coverage under these General WDRs, the Regional Board may elect to regulate the discharge under other WDRs or a conditional waiver. If the Regional Board has established WDRs or a conditional waiver, these General WDRs are not applicable.
  7. The following discharge categories from Table 1 are exempt from SWRCB promulgated Title 27 requirements: Wells/Boring Waste Discharges, Clear Water Discharges, Small Dewatering Projects, and Cooling Discharges (Section 20090).

2 If a ROWD is submitted instead of an NOI, the discharger must complete Sections VII-XV and XVII of the NOI (Attachment 3) and submit them to the Regional Board.

3 Regional Board Executive Officer or designee.

  1. Title 27, Section 20230 of CCR exempts dischargers of inert solid wastes from the requirement to discharge at classified solid waste sites. Section 20230 also gives Regional Boards the option to assign individual or general WDRs for inert solid waste discharges.
  2. Discharges to lands that have been listed as hazardous materials sites, pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5, are not eligible for coverage under these General WDRs. Discharges that will significantly physically divide an established community, significantly conflict with any applicable land use plan/policy/regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project, or significantly conflict with any applicable habitat/community conservation plan are not eligible for coverage under these General WDRs.
  3. Discharges that could have a significant impact on Biological Resources 4 , Cultural Resources 5 , Aesthetics 6 , Air Quality 7 or that could significantly alter the existing drainage pattern of the discharge site or surrounding area are not eligible for coverage under these General WDRs.
  4. Small inert waste disposal operations and small temporary dewatering operations located on unstable geologic units/soils or expansive soils are not eligible for coverage under these General WDRs. Small inert waste disposal operations and small temporary dewatering operations that could significantly conflict with existing zoning for agriculture use or a Williamson Act contract are not eligible for coverage under these General WDRs.
  5. Small inert waste disposal operations that are within the boundaries of a comprehensive airport land use plan or, if a comprehensive airport land use plan has not been adopted, within two nautical miles of a public airport or public use airport are not eligible for coverage under these General WDRs.
  6. A Negative Declaration in compliance with CEQA has been adopted for these General WDRs. The environmental impacts from new discharges authorized by these General WDRs have been found to be less than significant.
  7. Potential Dischargers and all other known interested parties have been notified of the intent to prescribe WDRs as described in these General WDRs.
  8. All comments pertaining to the proposed discharges have been heard and considered in a public meeting.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, that the Discharger, in order to meet the provisions contained in Division 7 of CWC and regulations adopted thereunder, shall comply with the following:
