Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) The
				  regional board shall adopt waste discharge requirements that implement the
				  applicable provisions of this chapter.
(b) The regional board shall revise waste
				  discharge requirements as necessary to implement the provisions of this
				  chapter.
(c) For waste management
				  units subject to this chapter, classifications and waste discharge requirements
				  for existing units shall be fully reviewed in accordance with schedules
				  established by regional boards. In no instance shall such review be beyond five
				  years of the effective date of this section. The waste discharge requirements
				  shall be revised to incorporate reclassification and retrofitting requirements
				  as provided in Subsections
				  2510(e) and
				  2540(b) of this
				  chapter, as well as the revised monitoring program developed under Subsection
				  2590(b)(1) of
				  this article. The regional board shall specify in waste discharge requirements
				  the schedule for retrofitting of existing facilities. All retrofitting shall be
				  complete within five years from the issuance of the revised waste discharge
				  requirements.
(d) Waste discharge
				  requirements for new waste management units or for expansion of existing units
				  shall not be effective until the regional board is notified that all local
				  agencies with jurisdiction to regulate land use, solid waste disposal, air
				  pollution, and to protect public health have approved use of the site for
				  discharges of waste to land.
(e)
				  Appropriate classifications and waste discharge requirements for all waste
				  management units in a single facility may be included in a single set of waste
				  discharge requirements applicable to the facility as a whole and to each within
				  the facility. Requirements relating to precipitation and drainage control
				  systems for two or more adjacent waste management units may be consolidated
				  provided that consolidated requirements reflect standards for the highest level
				  of containment applicable to any waste management unit involved.
(f) The discharger shall be required to
				  maintain legible records of the volume and type of each waste discharged at
				  each waste management unit and the manner and location of discharge. Such
				  records shall be on forms approved by the State Board and shall be maintained
				  at the waste management facility until the beginning of the post-closure
				  maintenance period. These records shall be available for review by
				  representatives of the State Board and regional boards at any time during
				  normal business hours. At the beginning of the post-closure maintenance period,
				  copies of these records shall be sent to the regional board.
