Water Code Section 13269 allows Regional Water Boards to waive the requirement to submit a report of waste discharge and the requirement to obtain waste discharge requirements when such a waiver is consistent with all applicable state and regional water quality control plans and is in the public interest. General waivers allow flexibility to the Central Coast Water Board to direct regulatory resources toward higher order water quality impacts. Waivers may be granted for discharges to land, are conditional, have a duration of five years, and may be terminated at any time.
