Industrial General Permit Order

40. State and Regional Water Board staff will develop proposed TMDL-specific
permit requirements (including monitoring and reporting requirements) for
each of the TMDLs listed in Attachment E. After conducting a 30-day public
comment period, the Regional Water Boards will submit to the State Water
Board proposed TMDL-specific permit requirements for adoption by the State
Water Board into this General Permit by July 1, 2016. The Regional Water
Boards may also include proposed TMDL-specific monitoring requirements
for inclusion in this General Permit, or may issue Regional Water Board
orders pursuant to Water Code section 13383 requiring TMDL-specific
monitoring. The proposed TMDL-specific permit requirements shall have no
force or effect until adopted, with or without modification, by the State Water
Board. Consistent with the 2008 MSGP, Dischargers are not required to take
any additional actions to comply with the TMDLs listed in Attachment E until
the State Water Board reopens this General Permit and includes TMDL-
specific permit requirements, unless notified otherwise by a Regional Water
Board.

41. The Regional Water Boards shall submit to the State Water Board the
following information for each of the TMDLs listed in Attachment E:

a. Proposed TMDL-specific permit, monitoring and reporting requirements
applicable to industrial storm water discharges and NSWDs authorized
under this General Permit, including compliance schedules and
deliverables consistent with the TMDLs. TMDL-specific permit
requirements are not limited by the BAT/BCT technology-based
standards;

b. An explanation of how the proposed TMDL-specific permit requirements,
compliance schedules, and deliverables are consistent with the
assumptions and requirements of any applicable waste load allocation and
implement each TMDL; and,

c. Where a BMP-based approach is proposed, an explanation of how the
proposed BMPs will be sufficient to implement applicable waste load
allocations.

42. Upon receipt of the information described in Finding 40, and no later than
July 1, 2016, the State Water Board will issue a public notice and conduct a
public comment period for the reopening of this General Permit to amend
Attachment E, the Fact Sheet, and other provisions as necessary for
incorporation of TMDL-specific permit requirements into this General Permit.
Attachment E may also be subsequently reopened during the term of this
General Permit to incorporate additional TMDL-specific permit requirements.

G. Discharges Subject to the California Ocean Plan

43. On October 16, 2012 the State Water Board amended the California Ocean
Plan. The amended California Ocean Plan requires industrial storm water
dischargers with outfalls discharging to ocean waters to comply with the

Order 2014-0057-DWQ 7
