General Waste Discharge Requirements for Vineyards Discharges in the Napa River and Sonoma Creek Watershed

General Waste Discharge Requirements for Vineyards Discharges in the Napa River and Sonoma Creek Watershed

The proposed General Waste Discharge (WDRs) would regulate discharges from vineyards in the Napa River and Sonoma Creek watersheds. The General WDRs would apply to a group of new and existing vineyards (including replants), based on eligibility criteria described in the Notice of Preparation and attached Initial Study. The eligible vineyards would be required to 1) submit a Notice of Intent to comply, 2) prepare a Farm Water Quality Plan that identifies potential sediment sources and management practices to reduce those discharges, 3) implement the chosen management practices, and 4) submit an annual compliance report that would identify what actions were taken to control sediment discharges.
