3.9 HYDROGEOLOGY
The Coles facility is located within the Tulare Lake Hydrologic Region, which covers
approximately 17,000 square miles and encompasses Kings, Tulare, Fresno, and Kern counties
(DWR, 2015). There are no surface waters in the immediate area of the facility. A 2018
groundwater elevation map from the Department of Water Resources (DWR) indicates
groundwater elevation is at approximately 200 feet bgs. The groundwater flow direction is towards
the northwest.
4.0 ANTI - DEGRADATION ANALYSIS
The proposed project is the discharge of non - hazardous water and solids to a poly and concrete -
lined surface impoundment for disposal. The liner will prevent degradation of the groundwater
beneath the site. Therefore, an anti - degradation analysis for the project is not required to
determine potential impacts on groundwater from the use of produced water ponds in the project
area.
5.0 INDUSTRIAL STORM WATER PERMIT
The State Water Resources Control Board adopted Order 97- 03 -DWQ (NPDES General Permit
CAS000001) specifying waste discharge requirements for discharges of stormwater associated
with industrial activities, and requiring submittal of a Notice of Intent by all affected industrial
dischargers. Many industrial facilities and some domestic wastewater treatment facilities are
required to obtain coverage under this permit. The site is sloped towards a catch basin and all
fluid is contained onsite. Therefore, an Industrial Storm Water Permit is not necessary for this
Site.
6.0 CONCLUSION
This Report of Waste Discharge has been prepared on behalf of Coles to support the issuance of
WDRs for non hazardous discharges to concrete -line surface impoundment.
