Water quality: recycled water: storm-induced overflow.

Under existing law, the State Water Resources Control Board and the California regional water quality control boards prescribe waste discharge requirements in accordance with the federal Clean Water Act and the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act. Existing law requires any person who causes or permits an unauthorized discharge of a specified amount of recycled water in any waters of the state or where the recycled water is, or probably will be, discharged in or on any waters of the state, to notify the appropriate regional board, as prescribed. This bill, on or before December 31, 2016, would require the state board, in consultation with stakeholders, to adopt a policy to address the potential for a storm-induced overflow from an impoundment in which recycled water is stored for subsequent beneficial use or aesthetic purposes.
