Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 23, June 7, 2024

Section 2911 - Summary of Containment Zone Amendment of Resolution NO. 92-49: Policies and Procedures for Investigation and Cleanup and Abatement of Discharges Under Water Code Section 13304

Section H:

The amendment establishes conditions under which Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCBs) may designate containment zones. A containment zone is a portion of a ground water unit where the RWQCB finds it is technically or economically infeasible to cleanup to water quality objectives, and where the RWQCB finds the discharger can contain pollutants within the designated zone so that water quality objectives are not exceeded outside the zone. The discharger is required to monitor to verify on-going containment, and to mitigate significant environmental impacts.

The policy provides:

* Guidance for discharger application;

* Procedures for RWQCB designation;

* Conditions for designation; and

* Administrative procedures for tracking sites, recommending improved procedures, and RWQCB recovery of costs of application review.

Appendix to Section H:

The Appendix outlines information to be included (as appropriate) in an application for designation of a containment zone.
