Permit renewal of Poseidon Resources Huntington Beach Desalination Facility and Orange County Sanitation District (OCSD) Plants 1 and 2 were not completed in FY 16-17 for the following reasons 1)Poseidon desalination project is the first to be evaluated for compliance with the requirements of the desalination amendment to the Ocean Plan. This permit renewal is highly controversial, resource intensive, requires coordination with other state agencies and very complex requiring state and regional boards to seek expert assistance to address scientific and technical issues that emerged in order to move forward, 2) USEPA Region 9 permit lead for permit renewal of OCSD Plants 1 and 2 was re-directed to litigation support. Inspections conducted fell short of targets as staff were re-directed to Poseidon permitting activities and other Waste Discharge to Land – Wastewater priorities.
