Cal. Code Regs. tit. 23 § 3909
On March 24, 2010, the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (North Coast Water Board) adopted Resolution Nos. R1-2010-0025 and R1-2010-0026, amending the Water Quality Control Plan for the North Coast Region (Basin Plan) to establish:
Consistent with the state's Policy for the Implementation and Enforcement of the Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Program, the actions for nonpoint sources include the development of conditional waivers of waste discharge requirements for grazing and irrigated agriculture on private lands, for road construction and maintenance on county roads, and for certain nonpoint source activities on lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service. As a regulatory backstop, the implementation plan includes a prohibition of discharges in violation of water quality objectives in the Klamath River basin. For point sources, the implementation plan requires the revision of NPDES permits for the Iron Gate Hatchery and the Tulelake Wastewater Treatment Plant. Other actions include the development of a Management Agency Agreement among the North Coast Water Board, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Tule Lake Irrigation District to address the water quality impairments in the Lost River and discharges to the Klamath River. North Coast Water Board staff plan to report to the North Coast Water Board at least yearly on the status and progress of implementation activities, and plan to conduct a comprehensive assessment of effectiveness of the implementation plan every five years.
