Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) WDR
						Scope & Purpose--The RWQCB shall adopt waste discharge requirements (WDRs)
						that implement the applicable provisions of this title.
(b) WDR Revision--The RWQCB shall revise WDRs
						as necessary to implement the provisions of this title.
(c) Reclassification--Unit classifications
						and WDRs for existing Units shall be fully reviewed in accordance with
						schedules established by the RWQCB. The WDRs shall be revised to incorporate
						reclassification and retrofitting requirements as provided in §
												20080(e) and
						§
												20310, and to comply with
						applicable monitoring and response programs required under Article 1,
						Subchapter 3, Chapter 3 of this division (§
												20380 et seq.). The RWQCB shall
						specify in WDRs the schedule for retrofitting of existing Units. All
						retrofitting shall be complete within five years from the issuance of the
						revised WDRs.
(d) Local
						Agencies--WDRs for new Units or for expansion of Units beyond the RWQCB-
						Permitted Area on July 18, 1997 shall not be effective until the RWQCB 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) Consolidation of Requirements at
						Multi-Unit Facilities--At the discretion of the RWQCB, WDRs for all Units in a
						single facility can be combined into a single set of WDRs applicable to the
						facility as a whole and to each respective Unit within the facility, but only
						if the requirements that apply to each respective Unit are clearly identified.
						Likewise, the RWQCB can consolidate the requirements relating to precipitation
						and drainage control systems for two or more adjacent Units, provided that such
						consolidated requirements reflect standards for the highest classification of
						Unit involved. Each solid waste Unit at a facility shall have its own
						respective monitoring program(s) under Article 1, Subchapter 3, Chapter 3 of
						this division (§
												20380 et seq.); nevertheless,
						Units can share Monitoring Points, Background Monitoring Points, sampling
						efforts, and reporting periods to the degree that the RWQCB concurs that such
						sharing does not interfere with achieving the goal of the monitoring program(s)
						at each respective Unit.
(f)
						Records--The discharger shall be required to maintain legible records of the
						volume and type of each waste discharged at each Unit and the manner and (for
						Units other than surface impoundments) location of discharge. Such records
						shall be on forms approved by the SWRCB or RWQCB 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
						SWRCB and RWQCB 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 RWQCB.
