1122364 08/19/2023 LREP Failure to Submit Interim Weekly Monitoring Reports Violation B Report
1112351 01/19/2023 Order Conditions Requirement 1 of CAO No. R3-2022-0077 (Requirement 1) requires the Dischargers to ¿immediately (no later than two days after the effective date of this Order) reduce wastewater levels in all the WWTP basins so that at all times there is a minimum of two feet of freeboard and more if necessary such that daily inflow and precipitation events will not result in basin overflow and discharge of raw sewage, and will not create a condition of pollution or nuisance.¿ From November 30, 2022, to the date of this NOV, it is the Central Coast Water Board¿s understanding that the Dischargers have failed to maintain a minimum of two feet of freeboard in the WWTP basins for multiple days. Although the County has performed some pumping of the WWTP as a courtesy to the landowners, the Dischargers are ultimately responsible for maintaining a minimum of two feet of freeboard at all times, regardless of whether the County pumps wastewater from the WWTP. Violation B Inspection
1112352 01/19/2023 Failure to Notify To date, the Central Coast Water Board has not received a report of waste discharge from the Big Basin Water Company, Inc. to enroll waste discharges from the WWTP in the Small General Permit. During the September 22, 2022 inspection, Central Coast Water Board staff reminded the representative for Big Basin Water Company, Inc. about the 13260 Order. In the November 10, 2022 notice of violation for wastewater treatment system operations, the Central Coast Water Board again reminded Big Basin Water Company, Inc. of the outstanding 13260 Order. Big Basin Water Company, Inc.¿s failure to submit the report of waste discharge to enroll in the Small General Permit is a violation of California Water Code section 13260. Violation B Report
