Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Exemptions to regionwide, hydrologic unit, and hydrologic
					 area prohibitions may be granted as specified in Chapter 4.1 of the Water
					 Quality Control Plan. Most exemptions are based on a finding by the Regional
					 Board Executive Officer if so delegated, that the discharge will not result in
					 exceeding the water quality objectives or unreasonably affect the water for its
					 beneficial uses. The Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional
					 Board) will base this determination on an analysis of the criteria contained in
					 State Water Resources Control Board Resolution No. 68-16, the Statement of
					 Policy with Respect to Maintaining High Quality Waters in California.
This amendment applies to the Mojave Hydrologic Unit for
					 surface water that is tributary to the West Fork Mojave River or Deep Creek
					 (Prohibition 1), the Silverwood Lake, Deep Creek, and Grass Valley watersheds
					 (Prohibition 2), and surface waters upstream of the Lower Narrows (Prohibition
					 4). Language was added to Prohibitions 1 and 2 that exempts storm water
					 discharges unless such discharges create a contition of pollution or nuisance.
					 Prohibition 2 now applies to discharge of waste to land or water.

California Code of Regulations › Title 23 - Waters › Division 4 - Regional Water Quality Control Boards › Chapter 1 - Water Quality Control Plans, Policies, and Guidelines › Article 6 - Lahontan Region › Section 3959 - Establishment of a Total Maximum Daily Load for Sediment in Squaw Creek, Placer County

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Water Board Resolution No. R6T-2006-0017, adopted on April
					 13, 2006 by the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board, modified the
					 Water Quality Control Plan for the Lahontan Region by establishing a Total
					 Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) to control sediment in Squaw Creek, Placer
					 County.
The TMDL sets numeric targets which include physical
					 habitat measures of stream substrate quality (median particle size and percent
					 fines and sand), and biological parameters that represent desired stream
					 habitat conditions for fish and aquatic invertebrates. The TMDL focuses on
					 controlling sources of sediment from land use categories identified as major
					 contributors to excessive in-stream sediment loading. Based on comparison with
					 reference streams, it is estimated that a 50 percent reduction in the
					 controllable sediment loading of 21,800 tons per year (from the level estimated
					 as of 2001) is needed to protect beneficial uses. The TMDL implementation
					 program is based on continuation and improvement of existing erosion control
					 and monitoring programs conducted by current permitted discharges. Other
					 individual or general permits will be issued as warranted for
					 construction-related or other land-disturbing activities to control sediment
					 discharges to Squaw Creek.
Implementation monitoring will center on tracking
					 compliance with existing and proposed regulatory actions, including
					 installation and maintenance of Best Management Practices to control sediment
					 discharges, with a focus on control of fine sediment. Progress toward meeting
					 the TMDL will be determined through monitoring of the in-stream physical and
					 biological parameters. The estimated time frame for meeting the numeric targets
					 and achieving the TMDL is 20 years. This estimate takes into consideration the
					 time needed for dischargers to identify sediment sources, to devise a plan to
					 address those sources, and to fully implement appropriate sediment controls;
					 and for target indicators to respond to decreased sediment loading. The
					 Lahontan Water Board has committed to reviewing the TMDL after 10 years to
					 determine if revisions are warranted based on relevant compliance data.
