PLUMAS LAFCO MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW FOR LAKE ALMANOR REGION OF PLUMAS COUNTY WA S T E WAT E R S E RV I C E S This section provides an overview of wastewater services in Plumas County and offers a brief review of the wastewater services provided by local agencies in the Lake Almanor MSR area. For a detailed description of each service provider, refer to the agency’s respective chapter in this document. Overview There are two wastewater providers in the MSR Area. The wastewater agencies and the services they provide are shown in Figure 3‐19. The location and boundaries of each of these providers are shown in Figure 3‐14. Figure 3‐19: Lake Almanor Basin Wastewater Providers Collection Treatment Disposal Maintenance Agency Connections Chester Public Utility District 1,197 Walker Ranch Community Services District 149 West Almanor Community Services District 9 Regulation of Wastewater Providers Wastewater providers are regulated by the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). Wastewater providers operate under permits issued by the RWQCB that outline effluent discharge requirements. Those agencies discharging to land operate under Waste Discharge Requirements, while agencies that discharge to surface water are regulated by National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. Legislation (A.B. 885) passed in 2000 requires SWRCB to adopt regulations for the permitting and operation of septic systems. Each regional water quality control board must incorporate SWRCB regulations or standards into its regional water quality control plans. SWRCB released draft septic regulations in March 2007. The implementation of these regulations in 2008 would require all septic systems statewide to meet permitting and operation standards. The regulations include required system inspections, restrictions on septic systems near impaired water bodies, performance standards and enforcement actions. There has been much debate on these regulations, and they have not been implemented to date. The State Water Resources Control Board adopted new policies in 2004 requiring wastewater collection providers to report sanitary sewer overflows and to prepare and implement Sewer System Management Plans (SSMPs). SSMP requirements are modeled on proposed federal capacity, management, operations, and maintenance plans. MSR AREA cÉÄ|vç VÉÇáâÄà|Çz TááÉv|tàxá? __V 42
PLUMAS LAFCO MUNICIPAL SERVICE REVIEW FOR LAKE ALMANOR REGION OF PLUMAS COUNTY Dischargers must provide adequate sewer collection system capacity, prevent overflows, prioritize system deficiencies, and develop a plan for disposal of grease, among other requirements. SSMP implementation deadlines depend on service area size. All wastewater providers in California must have implemented an SSMP by August 2010. Also, providers must now report sanitary sewer overflows greater than 100 gallons to the RWQCB, keep internal records of smaller overflows, and produce an annual report on overflows. Service Adequacy This section contains a discussion on service adequacy indicators which is intended to identify outliers—providers with relatively high service levels and those providers that could take steps to improve certain aspects of service provision. The wastewater service adequacy measures discussed here include regulatory compliance, treatment effectiveness, sewer overflows and collection system integrity. Of the three providers, only Chester PUD has been issued a formal enforcement action as a result of violations of permit conditions between 2007 and 2012. Chester PUD has faced challenges with compliance with discharge requirements in the past. The District has consistently operated under Cease and Desist Orders since 1987. Most recently, in 2004, a Cease and Desist order was adopted, due to I/I problems in the collection system, violations of effluent percentage removal limitations for BOD and total suspended solids, and effluent coliform violations. The order required the District to repair the collection system. Due to partial compliance with the order’s requirements, the order was rescinded in 2009 and a new order was adopted requiring continued improvements to the system. Additionally, in 2008, the District was issued an Administrative Civil Liability Order as chlorine levels exceeded maximum concentration limits. The District was fined $3,000. Violations of State requirements for wastewater providers and treatment facilities are recorded by SWRCB. Violations are categorized according to severity and type. The three wastewater providers were reviewed based on the rate of violations per 1,000 population served for the period from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2011. Of the three agencies, only WRCSD received a violation during that time frame. Walker Ranch CSD had a single non‐priority violation during that same time period for failing to adopt a Sewer System Management Plan as required by State law. As a result of this violation, the District was issued a notice of violation in 2010. 8 The District has taken steps to comply with the SSMP requirement. 8 WRCSD reported that there was an administrative error by the State in the issuance of the Notice of Violation in 2010, pertaining to reporting requirements, resulting in lack of notification to the CSD’s general manager until 2012. Subsequently, an agreement was reached between the State and WRCSD to rectify the violation by the end of 2012, without further action by the State. Accordingly, in August 2012, the District’s general manager retained Vestra Resources, Inc. to provide the necessary engineering support services to rectify the situation by the end of 2012.
