Objectives Bear Valley Water District wants to discharge up to 2.5 MGD of treated wastewater from the Bear Valley Wastewater Treatment Facility. The Discharger owns and operates the Facility. The treatment system consists of a comminuter, biological treatment in a 12.5 million-gallon aeration pond, disinfection in a 12,000 gallon chlorine contact tank, and effluent storage and polishing in a 106 million-gallon unlined storage/polishing reservoir. Effluent from the storage/polishing reservoir is disposed of through spray irrigation of land leased from C. Bruce Orvis, TBH Partners, and the United States Forest Service (USFS) during the summer months (June through October), which is regulated by Waste Discharge Requirements (WDR) Order No. 5-01-208. During wet winters with heavy snowfall, wastewater may also be discharged from Discharge Point No. 001 (see table on cover page) to Bloods Creek, a water of the United States, and a tributary to North Fork Stanislaus River, upstream of the New Melones Reservoir.
