Cal. Code Regs. tit. 23 § 2912
Resolution No. 98-090, adopted on September 2, 1998, by the State Water Resources Control Board, created the Water Quality Control Policy for Guidance on Development of Regional Toxic Hot Spot Cleanup Plans (Policy). The Policy is intended to be used by the Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCBs) to develop consistent regional toxic hot spot cleanup plans pursuant to Water Code Section 13394. The Policy provides guidance on:
* the contents of the regional cleanup plans;
* a specific definition of toxic hot spot;
* criteria to rank sites;
* toxic hot spot remediation methods;
* costs and benefits of remediation;
* prevention of toxic hot spots; and
* site-specific variances from the Policy.
The Policy contains a template to be used by the RWQCBs in developing the cleanup plans. The Policy also lists several issues to be considered in the development of the statewide consolidated toxic hot spot cleanup plan.
