Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Regulations in this section were promulgated by the
						  State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB), are administered by the
						  appropriate Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) through the issuance
						  of waste discharge requirements (WDRs) or other enforceable orders, and are
						  applicable both to the RWQCB and to the owner or operator of a waste management
						  unit (Unit) for the treatment, storage, or disposal of solid waste, in cases
						  where the Unit is jointly regulated by the RWQCB and by one or more other state
						  agencies.
(a) JTD Addresses All
						Post-CUP Permitting Agency Requirements--After July 18, 1997, for any Unit
						jointly regulated by the RWQCB and another state agency (or agencies), the
						report of waste discharge (ROWD) submitted to the RWQCB in support of the
						development or revision of WDRs for that Unit shall be in the form of a joint
						technical document (JTD) which includes all applicable information required
						under Article 4 of Subchapter 3 of this chapter (§
												21710 et seq.), in addition to all
						information necessary to support the development (or modification, as
						appropriate) and issuance of any state or local agency permits, other than the
						conditional use permit, that are required to operate the Unit (including but
						not limited to the lateral expansion of any Unit).
(1) JTD Submittal Date--For new Units for
						which the ROWD is initially submitted (as part of the application for WDRs)
						after July 18, 1997, the discharger shall submit the ROWD in the form of a JTD
						when applying for WDRs for the Unit. For all other new Units and for existing
						Units, the discharger need not reorganize and resubmit, as a JTD, those
						portions of the ROWD submitted prior to July 18, 1997. For new and existing
						Units, after July 18, 1997, except for scheduled monitoring reports, each
						submittal regarding the Unit, whether initiated by the discharger or requested
						by RWQCB, shall be made in the form of a separate addendum to the JTD, pursuant
						to ¶(a)(4).
(2) JTD Scope--The
						discharger is responsible for identifying all state and local agencies for
						which the JTD will serve as a joint permitting information document, pursuant
						to ¶(a). Nevertheless, for a landfill, the list of agencies addressed in
						the JTD shall include at least the RWQCB, the CIWMB, the EA, and the AQMD or
						APCD.
(3) Integration--The
						discharger is free to organize the JTD in any manner that maximizes the
						readability and compactness of the document. Nevertheless, to the extent
						feasible, with respect to any portion of the JTD that discusses a subject of
						regulatory concern to more than one agency, the discharger shall integrate the
						discussion to satisfy the concerns of all agencies concerned with that subject.
						Likewise, to the extent feasible, for facilities having more than one Unit, the
						JTD shall address topics which are germane to all Units at the facility
						(
e.g., the hydrogeology of the facility and surrounding area
)
						in a manner which integrates and incorporates all concerns applicable to each
						individual Unit and to the facility in general.
(4) JTD Addenda--After July 18, 1997, each
						submittal made to any permitting agency encompassed by the JTD shall be in the
						form of a numerically-sequential addendum to the JTD (i.e., Addendum 76 would
						be followed by Addendum 77). For any given topic being addressed by a given
						addendum, the discharger shall send a copy of that addendum simultaneously to
						each permitting agency listing that topic in their agency-specific JTD Index,
						and shall include an updated JTD page listing for each Water Board JTD index
						line-item [under ¶(b)] that is addressed by that
						addendum.
