Section 3976 - Basin Plan Amendment Authorizing Schedules of Compliance in NPDES Permits
On May 19, 2000, the Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board (Santa Ana Regional Board) adopted Resolution No. 00-27 amending the Basin Plan to incorporate language that explicitly authorizes the Santa Ana Regional Board to include schedules of compliance in National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits for effluent limitations that implement water quality objectives or criteria that are adopted, revised, or newly interpreted after this Basin Plan amendment becomes effective. The amendment requires that dischargers requesting such a schedule(s) of compliance submit documentation that is to be justified and as short as possible. The amendment identifies the minimum documentation that is to be submitted and stipulates that the Santa Ana Regional Board may require additional documentation on a case-by-case basis. The amendment also stipulates that any approved compliance schedule shall not exceed ten years from the date of adoption or interpretation of the applicable water quality objective or criterion.
