WHAT THE MEASURE IS SHOWING
39 percent of facilities regulated in the Land Disposal Program classified as "all other facilities" (i.e., not landfills) now have their reporting requirements in the Water Boards' database (CIWQS). 64 percent of reports due to the Water Boards in Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-17, were received statewide. Of the 288 reports received, 100% were reviewed by Water Board staff.
WHY THIS MEASURE IS IMPORTANT
Self-Monitoring Reports (SMRs) are the primary tool to assess compliance with permit requirements. SMRs are submitted with different frequencies and with different purposes. At a minimum, all regulated facilities are required to submit an annual report, with most facilities also required to submit quarterly reports. Some dischargers may also be required to submit monthly reports and other technical reports. SMRs contain the information required to assess the quality of a regulated facility's discharge and the facility's compliance with its permit. SMRs typically include both the data required by the permit as well as any additional date the permitted has collected, consistent with permit requirements. SMRs often include an assessment of discharge conditions, analysis performed by a certified laboratory, and field measurements (such as pH and stream flow). Regional Water Board staff review reports to determine if the reports are complete, and if the reported values are within the permitted limits. In 2010, the Water Boards transitioned to tracking both paper and electronic form monitoring reports due, received, and reviewed in the CIWQS database. This card shows the progress towards tracking monitoring and reviewing reports from all permitted facilities.
TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
GLOSSARY
- Self Monitoring Report
- The form used to report self-monitoring results by regulated facilities. Self Monitoring: Sampling and analyses performed by a facility to determine compliance with a permit or other regulatory requirements.
- CIWQS
- The California Integrated Water Quality System (CIWQS) is a web-based relational database for core regulatory data. Using this system, both staff and the public can access data related to places of environmental interest, permits and other orders, inspections and violations and enforcement activities.
- Land Disposal
- The Land Disposal program regulates of waste discharge to land for treatment, storage and disposal in waste management units. Waste management units include waste piles, surface impoundments, and landfills. California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 23, (Chapter 15) contains the regulatory requirements for hazardous waste. CCR Title 27, contains the regulatory requirements for wastes other than hazardous waste.
