adequately maintained and secured in order to prevent trash discharges into
the ASBS. Appropriate Management Practices include covering the trash
receptacles to prevent trash from being windblown, staking or securing the
trash receptacles so they don’t tip over, and periodically emptying the
receptacles to prevent overflow.

e. The Discharger shall submit its Waterfront Plan to the State Water Board
Executive Director by September 20, 2012. The Waterfront Plan is subject to
approval by the State Water Board Executive Director. The plan must be fully
implemented within by September 20, 2013.

2. The discharge of chlorine, soaps, petroleum, other chemical contaminants, trash,
fish offal, or human sewage to ASBS is prohibited. Sinks and fish cleaning
stations are point source discharges of wastes and are prohibited from
discharging into ASBS. Anthropogenic accumulations of discarded fouling
organisms on the sea floor must be minimized.

3. Limited-term activities, such as the repair, renovation, or maintenance of
waterfront facilities, including, but not limited to, piers, docks, moorings, and
breakwaters, are authorized only in accordance with Chapter III.E.2 of the Ocean
Plan.

4. If the Discharger anticipates that the Discharger will fail to fully implement the
approved Waterfront Plan within the 18 month deadline, the Discharger shall
submit a technical report as soon as practicable to the Executive Director. The
technical report shall contain reasons for failing to meet the deadline and
propose a revised schedule to fully implement the plan.

5. The State Water Board may, for good cause, authorize additional time to comply
with the Waterfront Plan. Good cause means a physical impossibility or lack of
funding.

If a Discharger claims physical impossibility, it shall notify the Board in writing
within thirty (30) days of the date that the Discharger first knew of the event or
circumstance that caused or would cause it to fail to meet the deadline in Section
F.1.e above. The notice shall describe the reason for the noncompliance or
anticipated noncompliance and specifically refer to this Section of this
Attachment. It shall describe the anticipated length of time the delay in
compliance may persist, the cause or causes of the delay as well as measures to
minimize the impact of the delay on water quality, the measures taken or to be
taken by the Discharger to prevent or minimize the delay, the schedule by which
the measures will be implemented, and the anticipated date of compliance. The
Discharger shall adopt all reasonable measures to avoid and minimize such
delays and their impact on water quality. The Discharger may request an
extension of time for compliance based on lack of funding. The request for an
extension shall require:
