Tentative Orders
A draft NPDES permit is being considered for the C&H Sugar Company Refinery and Philip F. Meads Water Treatment Plant (Joint Treatment Plant). The draft permit would continue to regulate the discharge of cooling water from the Sugar Refinery, treated sugar refining water and domestic and commercial wastewater from the Joint Treatment Plant, and stormwater to Carquinez Strait. The San Francisco Bay Water Board will consider this item at its August 12, 2026, meeting. Written comments or objections to this action must be submitted no later than July 10, 2026, by 5:00 p.m.
A Tentative Order terminating the cleanup requirements for Order No. 95-224, as amended by Order No. R2-2004-0065 is being considered for the discharges of tetrachloroethene (TCE) at 526 School Street, Suisun City, Solano County. If no significant comments are received, we plan to administratively issue the Order. Written comments or objections to this action must be submitted no later than July 11, 2026, by 5:00 p.m.
A draft NPDES permit is being considered for the Livermore-Amador Valley Water Management Agency (LAVWMA) Export and Storage Facilities (Facility), owned by LAVWMA and operated by the Dublin San Ramon Services District. Most of the time, the Facility discharges treated wastewater to Lower San Francisco Bay, which is covered under a separate permit. This draft permit would regulate intermittent discharges of treated wastewater to San Lorenzo Creek and Alamo Canal through shallow water outfalls during extreme wet weather, which could occur up to 1.5 times per year. The draft permit would also regulate occasional discharges to these waterbodies to ensure operability of the outfalls. The San Francisco Bay Water Board will consider this item at its August 12, 2026, meeting. Written comments or objections to this action must be submitted no later than July 6, 2026, by 5:00 p.m.

A revised Tentative Order for cleanup and abatement is being considered for discharges of tetrachloroethene (PCE) at 2700 Willow Pass Road, Concord, Contra Costa County. The Tentative Order would require the dischargers to complete the investigation and remediation of the site. If no significant comments are received, we plan to administratively issue the Order. The public comment period is closed.
