Groundwater VOC and Fuel General Permit ORDER NO.R2-2012-0012 <br /> NPDES NO.CAG912002 <br /> 1. The discharge of waste shall not cause the following conditions to exist in waters of the State <br /> at any place: <br /> a. Floating, suspended, or deposited macroscopic particulate matter or foam; <br /> b. Bottom deposits or aquatic growths to the extent that such deposits or growths cause <br /> nuisance ar adversely affect beneficial uses; <br /> c. Alteration of temperature, turbidity, or apparent color beyond present natural background <br /> levels; <br /> d. Visible, floating, suspended, or deposited oil or other products of petroleum origin; and <br /> e. Toxic or other deleterious substances to be present in concentrations or quantities that <br /> will cause deleterious effects on aquatic biota,wildlife, or waterfowl, or which render <br /> any of these unfit for human consumption either at levels created in the receiving waters <br /> or as a result of biological concentration. <br /> 2. The discharge of waste shall not cause the following limits to be exceeded in waters of the <br /> State in any place within one foot of the water surface: <br /> a. Dissolved oxygen: For all tidal waters: <br /> In the Bay downstream of Carquinez Bridge - 5.0 mg/L <br /> minimum <br /> Upstream of Carquinez Bridge - 7.0 mg/L minimum <br /> For nontidal waters: <br /> Waters designated as cold water habitat- 7.0 mg/L <br /> minimum <br /> Waters designated as warm water habitat- 5.0 mg/L <br /> minimum <br /> For all inland surface waters: <br /> The median dissolved oxygen concentration for any three <br /> consecutive months shall not be less than 80% of the <br /> dissolved oxygen content at saturation. When natural <br /> factors cause concentrations less than that specified above, <br /> the discharge shall not cause further reduction in ambient <br /> dissolved oxygen concentrations. <br /> b. Dissolved Sulfide Natural background levels <br /> 12 <br /> Limitations and Discharge Requirements <br />
