Document Description
The project consists of prescribing conditions for waiving waste discharge requirements for discharges from small onsite wastewater treatment systems/advanced treatment units (OWTSA/ATUs) serving residential projects with five family units or less, and discharges from small OWTSA/ATUs serving commercial or industrial projects with a design flow equal to or less than 1,200 gallons per day located within the portion of Riverside County under California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Diego Region (San Diego Water Board) jurisdiction. The San Diego Water Board has established a conditional waiver of waste discharge requirements which applies to discharges from Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS) consisting of septic tank/subsurface disposal systems, mound systems, or evapotranspiration systems. This action is being taken by the San Diego Water Board in accordance with the California Water Code to extend its current waiver for alternative onsite wastewater disposal systems to include advanced treatment units/drip irrigation disposal systems and is in response to the development and implementation by the County of Riverside of regulation for the design, construction, operation, maintenance and monitoring of these systems.
