Other Codes |
The Discharger violated California Water Code (CWC) Section 13376. As reported, the Discharger discharged approximately 5.68 million gallons of unfiltered disinfected secondary treated wastewater to the receiving water, the Sacramento River. Failure to provide a report of waste discharge 180 days in advance of the discharge of wastewater is a violation of CWC Section 13376. |

Deficient Monitoring |
Prior to April 2025, it was understood that discharge from the round tanks at the Feather River Fish Hatchery was directed into the sump, then into the two percolation/settling ponds. After an in-depth analysis of engineering schematics, it was discovered that the water from those round tanks flows into a chamber adjacent to the sump, but not the sump itself. The water subsequently exits the chamber through EFF-003 and directly enters the Feather River. As part of collecting steelhead broodstock in January and February, adult fish are held for short periods of time in one round tank until they are ripe for spawning. It is necessary to feed these fish while they are being held so that they remain in good condition, survive the spawning process, and reenter the Feather River to continue their lifecycle. California Central Valley steelhead are listed as threatened under the Federal Endangered Species Act, so it is imperative that CDFW minimize incidental take during the spawning process. During the months of January and February in 2025, small amounts of feed (3 cups of feed per day) were given to steelhead in one of the round tanks. Because the understanding of the facility¿s infrastructure at that time was that water from the round tanks did not enter the EFF-003 discharge point, EFF-003 was not sampled in either of these two months. Therefore, the parameters missing from the Quarter 1 SMR include TSS, net TSS, turbidity, pH, and electrical conductivity. It is our understanding, based on data from other California hatcheries such as the Mokelumne River Fish Hatchery where similar feeding practices are conducted and water discharge is monitored, that giving three cups of feed to steelhead each day in one round tank would not have violated any thresholds for water quality parameters. |
