Section 3939.50 - Groundwater Quality Management Measures for Salts and Nutrients in the Lower Santa Clara River Groundwater Basins of Ventura County
On July 9, 2015, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region (Los Angeles Water Board) adopted Resolution No. R15-007 to incorporate stakeholder-developed groundwater quality management measures for salts and nutrients in the Lower Santa Clara River Groundwater Basins of Ventura County. The State Water Resources Control Board approved the amendment under Resolution No. 2015-0071, on December 1, 2015.
Resolution No. R15-007 amends the Los Angeles Region's Basin Plan by incorporating stakeholder-developed groundwater quality management measures for salts and nutrients in the Lower Santa Clara River Groundwater Basins of Ventura County into Chapter 8 "Groundwater Quality Management -- Sustainability and Basin-specific Protection of Groundwater". The stakeholder-developed management strategies for salt and nutrients are designed to maintain current water quality conditions in the groundwater basins, prevent additional loading in localized areas with elevated levels of salts and nutrients, and manage additional loads from future recycled water projects in a manner that is protective of beneficial uses.
These management strategies, developed by local water entities in the Lower Santa Clara River Basin, are voluntary measures that are designed to maintain water quality that is protective of beneficial uses.
