A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ORANGE
COUNTY SANITATION DISTRICT ESTABLISHING THE POLICY FOR
LEVEL OF TREATMENT OF WASTEWATER DISCHARGED INTO THE
OCEAN
BE IT RESOLVED by the Orange County Sanitation District Board of Directors
that it is the District's policy to treat all wastewater discharges into the ocean to
secondary treatment standards, thereby providing for continued public safety, marine
ecosystem protection and water reclamation opportunities.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of Orange County Sanitation District,
DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER:
Section 1: District staff is directed to immediately proceed with the planning,
design, and implementation of treatment methods that will allow the agency to meet
Federal Clean Water Act secondary treatment standards.
Section2: District staff shall prepare and adopt a plan of work for facilities to
meet secondary treatment standards, and submit the necessary documentation to EPA
and the State of California, with the expressed purpose of eliminating a waiver under
Section 301 (h) of the Federal Clean Water Act.
Section 3: District staff is directed to expeditiously negotiate permit terms and
conditions that will accomplish the inter-related goals of achieving secondary treatment
standards, eliminating the need for a Section 301 (h) Clean Water Act permit, and
minimizing the risk of enforcement liability during the transition period from the present
effluent standards to secondary treatment standards.
PASSED AND ADOPTED at a regular meeting held July 17, 2002.
