State Water Board to Seek Additional Stakeholder Input and Slow the Pace of SSS WDR Revision
Update from Roberta Larson, Director of Legal & Regulatory Affairs
A workshop to discuss the proposed revisions to the statewide General Waste Discharge Requirements for Sanitary Sewer Systems (the SSS WDR) drew a standing room crowd on January 24, 2012 in Sacramento. Following a presentation by the State Water Board staff regarding key substantive issues identified during the public comment period last Spring, the Board members heard testimony from representatives of CASA, the clean water summit partners, nongovernmental organizations and representatives of privately owned collection systems. At the close of the workshop, two Board members indicated that they do not see a need to move forward quickly with a major rewrite of the SSS WDR, and prefer to have staff focus on enforcement and implementation of the existing 2006 SSS WDR. The Board members also supported staff’s recommendation that the Board seek additional stakeholder input over the next few months on several key issues.
