Fort Jones Police Department Monthly Report
October 2024
At this time of the year, along with the middle of winter, we typically see a slowdown in police-related activity. As you probably remember this hasn’t been the case for all of 2024 and previous years. While much of the activity continues to be great for our community, we occasionally see a downside such as increased criminal activity including traffic related issues.

The upcoming holidays will bring more folks to our community and bring with them additional needs for service. Our officers have been outstanding in keeping up with the demand for service and helped keep our constituents feeling safe and protected this past year. Again, thank you to the town staff and Council in supporting our efforts, it makes all the difference in the world. It has been amazing to receive the continued thanks from the community as well as seeing the progress and positive differences while patrolling around town.

Traffic- This past month has brought us several traffic related issues mostly in the form of preventable traffic violations and collisions. While our DUI’s and collisions continue to remain at a lower number in town, they have been on the rise around the valley and county. There is no excuse for them, so officers remain vigilant to keep them at a low number or nonexistent. The PD and PAL will continue to provide a safe way of getting home from special upcoming events by providing a vehicle driven by a designated driver. We also continue to educate drivers by making numerous traffic stops monthly and providing warnings in the process. As you know, after a warning, officers generally issue citations. The U-Turn struggle continues as it has taken time to educate drivers that this is no longer allowed or tolerated. This past month several citations were issued for various violations including numerous citations for speeding on Main Street. We have been increasing our presence in certain areas and will continue to issue warnings and citations if warranted. If you see a problematic area, please let us know so we can address it appropriately. We utilized our new traffic speed/message board on several occasions, bringing a new way to advise drivers of events or traffic related issues. Printable statistics are available upon request if you would like a more detailed report of our findings.

Schools- Recently we have also seen an uptick in activity within our schools and the need for police intervention and counseling. You may have heard, but we have had a rash of school threats being made internally by students and outside sources. Fortunately, each of these cases has been resolved peacefully with each subject being held liable by criminal and state school policies. Each incident is taken very seriously and requires an extensive investigation from all organizations involved. Our schools are still very safe, especially compared to the rest of the county and I truly believe our role as police is not to just be an enforcer but to be proactive within our community as a prevention role. We will continue to work with the schools, assisting them with anything they may need to have another successful school year for our youth. We have also made several visits to our schools recently to visit and speak with the children about law enforcement and our roles within the community. It has always been a great opportunity to visit with our local youth on a casual basis and let them know we are their friends and here to help. I have had several meetings recently with school district personnel in the efforts to be proactive in creating protocol and policies to prevent future problems while combating current issues. These meetings have been very productive, and we look forward to implementing them within our communities. We hope to incorporate a school resource officer in the future which would benefit each school within the Scott Valley School District.

Animal Control- Recently we have utilized our kennels in town with several dogs at large as well as more significant cases needing a safe secure area for animals to be. Our community has overwhelmingly helped with donations when we are in need and have taken on ownership of some of the animals we have needed to rehome. In the future, running a waterline to the kennel barn would help officers tend to animals easier and provide a more suitable place for recovered dogs. The town as a whole has seen a reduction of animals at large with the exception of one household. Kelly has now begun to not only cite the dog owner for animal and ordinance violations but has also started citing the absentee property owners. We hope this helps make a difference in the response from property owners with issues their tenants are creating.

Reports/Cases- Attached you will find last month’s statistical data showing the diversity in calls for service and activity levels. Also included are the stats from the previous month of September. As always, this also includes calls for service in the outlying areas of Scott Valley. As mentioned above Officers have been doing a great job and are keeping up with the demand for service. Many of our cases continue to be Officer generated, coming from our officers being so proactive in the community. As I have always said, presence is a huge factor in preventing crime and it is our mission to be seen as often and continually as possible. With the switch over to the new CAD system, the layout of stats may look a little different, but I believe it will be easier to read. We have generated over 100 written reports this year so far, just for the town of Ft.

Jones. This puts us on pace of last year and combined with Etna and the rest of the Valley you can see how busy things have been.

Calls for Service- As mentioned above, with the written reports we have seen an increase in calls for service including mutual aid requests and response to EMS/Fire calls.

Written reports are separate stat than our calls for service and help provide a good oversite of what we encounter on a daily basis. Many of our everyday calls for service are not logged into the CAD system so the number of services provided to our constituents is drastically higher than what is put on paper. We continue to assist other departments in any way we can to help first responders to any crisis. With an increase in criminal activity outside our two towns and other agencies suffering from low staffing we have been called upon by outside agencies to assist often. These agencies include CHP, Sheriff’s Office, Forest Service, and CAL Fire to name a few. We expect to see our calls for service continue at a high volume, especially with the increase in traffic we have seen throughout the valley. In totality of the past year, I estimate our calls for service to be well in excess of 2000.

Ordinance Enforcement- Recently we have had a couple Code enforcement issues arise, which are being handled by voluntary compliance. We currently have a case open which may lead to fines and fees. We hope to have a hearing officer and program set up soon so we can adjudicate and assess fees in house without relying on the district attorney’s office. We are also looking into the receivership process and look forward to having a discussion with our city attorney on how Etna and Fort Jones can work together to bring conclusion to several of our difficult long-term Code Enforcement issues.

PAL- PAL has been extremely busy recently with both Flag Football and our Soccer programs.

We also hosted and/or helped with several trunk or treats, parades, and Halloween festivities.

Along with Halloween itself for the two towns it provided us with several weeks of activities.

We have our upcoming 23rd Annual PAL Holiday Gathering on December 7th, and look forward to a very exciting get together with Santa. We are also working on and maintaining our youth mentoring program as well as raise funds for the Valley’s first skate/Bike park.

Training- Recently, with our partnership with the Sacramento Sheriff’s special crimes unit has brought the opportunity to provide our officers with specialized training and technology to help provide a better response to specific crimes occurring in our community. We have also had our annual POST audit which resulted in another successful year of compliance.

Patrol Hours- The patrol hours and time in the office stay maintained over 600 hours a month with 4 officers, a detective and CSO’s. Countless security checks, home checks, and business checks are made daily making sure our community is safe. We continue to hear compliments and appreciation daily for the service we provide our constituents. It makes all the hard work worthwhile when we can see and especially hear the difference our officers make in the community. Along with patrol comes the need for dependable vehicles equipped properly.

Recently we have been able to purchase 4 vehicles to replace our aging fleet. This opportunity arose, providing the town of Fort Jones with a patrol vehicle of their own. We maintain our fleet far longer than most jurisdictions, and even have some patrol vehicles more than 25 years in age. With the addition of new and used patrol vehicles, I am hoping we do not have to address vehicle purchases for 10 plus years.

To City Council,
The Fire Department responded to 34 calls for service in the month of October. Members participated in 20 hours of scheduled training and numerous hours of online and on-duty proficiency training. The department has responded to 383 calls in 2024.

October 2024 Calls
The Dooryard burn ban was lifted Friday, November 1st. Dooryard burning is permitted within Town Limits with a valid burn permit. Permits are available at the fire station during regular business hours.

We are continuing discussions in regard to a special district/consolidation for emergency services in Scott Valley. Department heads and board/council members and various community partners met with county officials several times to discuss options, and we are looking into several grant opportunities to fund MSRs, feasibility studies, and/or LAFFCO fees for this project. We’ll hopefully have more info and be able to move forward with this long awaited project soon! Call Type City Limits Out of City

Public Works Report
October 2024
Sewer
We recorded all of the daily readings at the wastewater treatment plant, compiled them into a usable form and sent them off to Dana to put into the quarterly report. We completed the CIWQS reporting for the month. There were no sanitary sewer spills in the month of October.

We corresponded with the DFA about when the Towns amendments to the WWTF grant might be ready to be executed. We met with E and S engineers to look at our options for a new sewer line on Cowan Street. We helped locate a sewer lateral that was installed 30 years ago to a parcel that will be developed on Marbleview Drive.

We ordered a new manhole for the alleyway behind the maintenance barn. We unloaded the new manhole. This will be installed in the middle of November in an effort to abandon the current old concrete sewer main which runs underneath a residence. Once completed, new laterals coming from the businesses will be installed to it. This will reduce the length of pipe that the Town is responsible to maintain, and will ensure those parcels are adequately served.

Water
We made a list of all the known backflow devices in Town. We finished composing the letter to owners with backflow devices, notifying them of the need to have these devices tested.

We plan to have all the testing/cataloging done on all of the known devices before the end of the calendar year. We winterized the well house. We upgraded our sampling sites in an effort to avoid positive coliform results. We hooked up a new water service on Marbleview Drive for the new home that is being built there.

We have been chlorinating the well due to State regulations. We corresponded with PACE labs to have the necessary tests done. We took repeat samples and drove them to their lab in Redding. Hopefully we will be able to discontinue chlorination by the time of this Council meeting.

We read all of the meters and entered the information into the billing software. We handed out shut off notices for non-payment. The SAFER drought reporting for the month has been completed. We would like to remind the community that if you see anyone filling up a water truck or tampering with a fire hydrant without a Town employee present to report it to Town Hall at 530-468-2281. We shut off a few customers at their request for the winter.

We located water lines for all submitted 811 requests within the Town.

We helped the Elementary School do an addition test for lead in their Pre-K room. We created another invoice for the lead testing in childcare centers for the work done.

Parks
With the fall weather comes leaves, leaves, and more leaves. There is a lot to rake up.

We winterized all of the parks and shut down all the public restrooms located at them.

We are seeing an uptick in the amount of household garbage being dumped in the Towns trash cans. We wanted to remind the public that these trash cans are not for household garbage.

Roads
We removed all of the dead animals that were found during the month and disposed of them. We took out the trash weekly from the Towns trash cans. We located the Towns storm drains for all 811 requests. We are started cleaning the gutters and catch basins to get ready for the wet season.

We worked with Robbie at the County Road department to try to get Scott River Road crack patched before the winter. We are waiting on the County to approve the agreement.

This rehab of Scott River Road was made possible by an RSTP grant in the amount of $50,000 dollars. It will crack patch and chip seal all of the Towns portion of Scott River Road. We made a schedule of Public Works activities.

ADMINISTRATION REPORT
OCTOBER 2024

ADMINISTRATOR
• LEAP Grant 15250: Completed the Zoning Amendments and the GIS implementation. Project is complete and 1st invoice totaling $13,593.75 for reimbursement has been sent out. • LEAP Grant 14271: Gathered all invoices for the 6th Cycle Housing Element totaling $75,000 and submit an RFF (request for funds reimbursement). I was told it was too late to request funds, however, I am working with them to see if there is a way to still request reimbursement as I have just come on as Administrator and the previous Administration did not submit in time. • STIP- Butte, Bower, and Cowan Project: Amendment still pending on removing Cowan Street. 1 st
Invoice totaling $ 18,313.30 has been sent for reimbursement. • Waste Water Treatment Plant project: The amendment (Amendment #3) to combine the design phase with the planning phase has been reviewed and approved as of October 29,2024. Met with SHN to look over potential design of Treatment Facility plant. • Cowan Street: Once the depths of the existing sewer lines have been located, E&S will begin the design work on this project. Funding for this project will be made possible through the Bulk Water revenue.
• Sterling Street Valves: The Town will be getting bids to replace/repair the valves on Sterling Street.

Funding for this project with be made possible through the Bulk Water Revenue. • Per Capita Grant: Continue to pull invoices for reimbursement. • Audit: Work continues on pre-audit reports that reflect several discrepancies for the fiscal year 2018/2019. Once all requested files have been located and submitted, direction will be given on what will need to be done. Continuing to work on reconciling all accounts for that FY. • CDBG: Work continues reconciling all accounts. There are only a couple left that need further review. This plays a pivotal role in assisting with the Audit. • COPS: Completed MOE for 2024-2025. Resolution and backup are in packet for review and approval.
• Customer Service Clerk: Conducted several interviews for Customer Service Clerk part time position. Hired Cynthia Keno as the new Customer Service Clerk and she has been doing an amazing job. I have had many people compliment how welcoming and pleasant she is. • General Finance: Process Accounts Payables, Accounts Receivables, and Payroll.

Attended several webinars targeted towards future grant options.

CLERK
• New Customer Service Clerk: The addition of the new customer service clerk, Cynthia Keno, has gone well. She has completed the initial training, has excellent interpersonal and customer service skills, and is a true asset to the town.
• New Utility Billing Software: The company and software that the town has used for many years, UBMAX, closed at the end of October. GWorks bought them out and took them over. Unfortunately, GWorks has been unable to meet the terms of the contract, so a new software company was sought out. Several interviews were done, and Munibilling stood out as really the only company that would not only meet the needs of the town, but also be able to provide services that were not previously accessible, and be able to have onboarding completed by December billing time. • Utility Account and Billing Errors: More than two hundred errors were found in the water/sewer utility billing system, ranging from minor account entry errors, to incorrect meter numbers, to incorrect charges, to incorrect addresses in the system. With the assistance of Public Works in obtaining correct meter numbers, these have all been rectified. There are still approximately 200 unknown meter numbers that Public Works will be identifying in November, and this office will continue the corrections.
• Business Licenses: It was discovered that many businesses have not renewed their licenses in the last two to three years. Additionally, there are several businesses that were overcharged for their licenses when they last held them. The correct amounts owed or owing have been ascertained for 90% of these businesses, and this office has begun contacting the businesses to bring their licenses current. This will continue into November.
• Facility Rentals: With the holiday season approaching, facility rentals have picked up. Additionally, it was discovered that many of the regular reservation holders had not received invoices in the last two years, nor had the Town received payment. A partial list of those who still owe has been completed, with invoices sent out. This will continue to be investigated and corrected. • Website and Social Media: The town’s website now has an event calendar with both council proceedings and community events listed. The posting of minutes and resolutions has been brought to date. Work continues on making sure compliance is met and making it more user-friendly and mobile-friendly. Additionally, the town’s Facebook page published content was increased by 225%, and content interactions were 123, an increase of 75.7%.

Subject: Resolution 1135 - Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirements for Proposition 172 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Background
The Town of Fort Jones is required to calculate and certify AB2788 Maintenance of Effort (MOE) requirements concerning the use of Proposition 172 revenues to the Siskiyou County Auditor.

These figures are making sure that the Town of Fort Jones is spending the appropriate level on law enforcement compared to a baseline level from 1992/1993.

Line 2.1: Total Base Year $ 52,000______
(Total Adjusted AB2788 Base Year detailed in Form B)
Step #3: Determine Base Amount for Local Agency
AB2788 includes a growth factor provision that is equal to the previous years growth in Proposition 172 revenues. The Auditor-Controller’s Office will provide cities and counties with this amount. If appropriate, this amount should be added to the AB2788 Base Year.

Line 3.1: Growth Amount _$_2,631_____
Line 3.2: Total Base Amount for Local Agency $_54,631______ (Total 2.1 and 3.1)

The Town of Fort Jones maintains and operates a wastewater treatment system and associated collection and conveyance systems that serve the Town of Fort Jones in Siskiyou County, California (Figure 1). This sanitary sewer evaluation survey (SSES) provides an overview of the sanitary sewer collection and conveyance systems serving Fort Jones. Information presented in this report is based on data collected by Fort Jones staff, discussion with Fort Jones staff and community members, investigations conducted by SHN Engineers & Geologists, and our review of the 2004 Sewer System Evaluation and Recommended Repairs (Hammond Engineering, 2004).

Funding for the development of the SSES was provided by a planning grant from the State of California Water Resources Control Board under the Proposition 1-Small Community Wastewater grant program.

2.0 Population
Based on a population and growth assessment conducted by the Siskiyou County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo), the current population of Fort Jones is approximately 672 people with a projected annual growth rate of 0.32 percent (LAFCo, 2011). Based on this assessment, the projected 2037 and 2057 populations in Fort Jones would be approximately 717 people and 764 people, respectively.

3.0 System Description
Fort Jones maintains and operates approximately 5.2 miles of sewer mains (Figure 2; note that the actual location of pipes, manholes, and pump stations identified on maps may vary from that shown on maps) that services the population of approximately 672 residents. The system was originally constructed in the 1940s and parts of the system may still be the original, including clay pipes (LAFCo, 2011).

The entirety of the collection and conveyance system consists of gravity sewer mains, 83 sanitary manholes, 3 publicly owned pump stations and 2 privately owned pump stations. Gravity sewer lines range in diameter from four to 12 inches, with the majority of the system comprised of 6-inch (40%) and 8-inch (30%) diameter lines (Figure 2). The sewer line materials include transite, concrete, vitrified clay pipe (VCP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe, ductile iron pipe (DIP), and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) pipe (Figure 3). Sanitary manholes are constructed of cast-inplace (CIP) concrete bases with manhole barrels constructed of precast concrete, concrete block, brick and mortar, or corrugated metal pipe.

The 2004 sewer system evaluation by Hammond Engineering included closed circuit television (CCTV) surveying conducted by SVM Plumbing from Yreka, California. SVM inspected approximately 50% of the collection system indicating that the system was badly in need of repair at that time (Figure 4). Few repairs have been completed between 2004 and 2017, such that this evaluation assumes conditions reported in 2004 are the same or worse.

A geographic information system (GIS) database has been created for the Fort Jones sanitary sewer collection system. The database includes data for sewer mains, manholes, and pump stations, including size, type, and condition.

3. DIP: ductile iron pipe

3.2 Sewer Laterals
The Fort Jones sewer collection system has approximately 280 sewer laterals connecting private residences, commercial businesses, schools, and other facilities to the sewer mains. Sewer laterals branch from the sewer mains that are typically in the public right of way such as under streets and sidewalks, and connect to private properties; this results in the laterals running partly through public property and partly through private property. Laterals are often a source of significant Infiltration and Inflow (I/I) for a variety of reasons including:
• Differential settling between sewer mains and sewer laterals constructed at different times can result in disconnected or offset joints.

• Laterals run under yards where trees and plants present the opportunity for roots to weaken joints and damage pipes.
• Private sewer laterals may also contain illegal rainwater connections such as sumps from basements or downspout connections
Fort Jones currently has a sewer lateral ordinance in place that requires property owners to connect to the city sewer system, but does not include any provisions for the repair or maintenance of each lateral. Typically, during sewer main repair or replacement projects, laterals must be re-connected to the sewer main and should often be replaced completely due to deterioration. The cost of replacing the laterals to the property line is usually the responsibility of the City, with the remaining cost the responsibility of the property owner. The cost of replacing laterals on private property may not be an approved expense if the City’s sewer system rehabilitation project is funded by certain state and federal sources.

3.3 Pump Stations
The collection system includes 5 sanitary sewer pump stations (SSPS); Fort Jones owns and operates 3 of them (SSSPS 3-2, 39, and 40) and the other 2 are privately owned (SSPS 4-5, and the SSPS located at the Chevron gas station; Table 3). The SSPS’s have been designated with numbers similar to those used for manhole designation throughout the collection system.

3.4 Manholes
The Fort Jones collection system contains 83 sanitary sewer manholes. Most manholes are 48 inches in diameter, constructed of either concrete pipe sections or curved concrete block, and include CIP or precast concrete bottoms. Thirteen manholes are constructed with brick and mortar, and one uses corrugated metal pipe. Four manholes are 36-inch diameter, 2 are 24-inch diameter, and 1 is 60-inch diameter.

Y:\2016\516035-FJ-WWTF\100-SSES\PUBS\rpts\20170801-Ft Jones SSES.docx 4 4.0 System Assessment
Influent flow data for the Fort Jones wastewater treatment facility (WWTF) indicates a significant infiltration problem exists in the collection system with a peaking factor of approximately 11 (calculated as the ratio of peak day average flow [PDAF] to average dry weather flow [ADWF]).

Previous CCTV inspections of sewer mains, manhole inspections, and reviews of WWTF influent flow data were used to determine the priority for pipe replacement and locations of I/I entering the system.

4.1 Flow Analysis
According to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Small Community Wastewater Grant (SCG) Guidelines (SWRCB, 2007), systems with an average wet weather flow greater than 120 gallons per capita day (gpcd) must complete an SSES and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of treating or reducing I/I. Projections must include estimates of 20- and 40-year time horizons. The SCG guidelines also state that systems with a 3-hour peak flow greater than 275 gpcd must complete an SSES. Fort Jones records only daily average, maximum, and minimum flows.

A summary of the projected populations and wastewater flow rates for Fort Jones are included below in Table 4.

4.1.1 WWTF Influent Flow Analysis
Base Sanitary Flow is the minimum average monthly dry season influent flow during the months of May through October. Based on the analysis of average monthly flow data for July 2014 through October 2016, the Base Sanitary flow is approximately 0.039 million gallons per day (MGD), or 39,000 gallons per day (gpd).

Average Dry Weather Flow (ADWF) is the average influent flow during the months of May through October. Based on analysis of the dry weather season average daily flow data for July 2014 through October 2016, the ADWF is approximately 0.045 MGD. According to the Waste Discharge Requirements for the Fort Jones WWTF (Appendix A), the ADWF through the WWTF is limited to

0.060 MGD. The current ADWF is approximately 75% of the limit.

Y:\2016\516035-FJ-WWTF\100-SSES\PUBS\rpts\20170801-Ft Jones SSES.docx 5 Average Daily Flow (ADF) is the average of the calendar year average daily flow rates. Based on the analysis of average daily flow data for January 2015 through December 2016, the ADF is approximately 0.056 MGD.

Average Wet Weather Flow (AWWF) is the average influent flow during the months of November through May. Based on analysis of the wet weather season data for November 2015 through April 2017, the AWWF is approximately 0.116 MGD. This flow rate is the average of 2 wet season flows; 3 seasons were available, however, the 2014-2015 wet season was indicative of drought conditions resulting in low wet season flows and was excluded from the average.

The per capita AWWF at the projected 2017 population of 672 people (LAFCo, 2011) is 173 gpcd; 53 gpcd greater than the SWRCB recommendation of 120 gpcd (SWRCB, 2007).

Peak Day Average Flow (PDAF) is the highest observed average daily flow. Based on daily plant flow data from July 2014 through May 2017, the PDAF is 0.485 MGD.

4.1.2 Inflow and Infiltration
Surface water inflow and groundwater infiltration into sewer collection systems are typically the major causes of high flows through the collection and treatment systems. High flows can result in sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs), decreased treatment efficiency, and permit violations. An analysis of total wet weather rainfall and maximum monthly wet weather flow at the WWTF over the previous three wet seasons (defined as November through April) indicates that I/I is a significant problem in the Fort Jones collection system (Figure 5). During the most recent wet season (2016- 2017), above-normal rainfall resulted in a peak day average flow rate of approximately 375,000 gpd.

However, even with the high flows, no SSO’s have occurred.

Y:\2016\516035-FJ-WWTF\100-SSES\PUBS\rpts\20170801-Ft Jones SSES.docx 6 4.1.2.1 Inflow
Inflow is rainfall that enters the sewer system through manhole lids, rain gutters and downspouts on buildings connected directly to the sewer, as well as sumps and other systems used to pump rainwater directly into the sewer illegally. If a system has high inflow, flow rates at the WWTF will increase sharply following rainfall events. Figure 6 shows the Fort Jones WWTF daily average influent flow and local daily rainfall.

Spikes in the influent flow at the WWTF do not show a close correlation with large daily rainfall events. Rainfall that occurred during the winter of 2014-2015, and early winters of 2016 and 2017 did not result in high flows at the WWTF, indicating that inflow is not a significant problem in the Fort Jones collection system. Higher flows in the spring of 2016 and 2017 were likely due to groundwater infiltration. These higher flows are likely due to the longer sustained rainfall that had more of an influence on shallow groundwater levels. Sustained rainfall is more likely to result in saturation of the ground and rising groundwater.

Infiltration is groundwater that enters the sewer collection system through cracks, breaks, and joints in laterals and sewer mains. Infiltration increases in leaky sewer systems when groundwater rises above the level of the sewer mains. The lower portions of the Fort Jones collection system is next to Moffett Creek which rises seasonally due to rainfall and snowmelt. Soils in the region tend to be rocky and very well drained such that shallow groundwater and river stage are closely connected. No data are available for the water levels in Moffett Creek; however, there is a United States Geological Survey (USGS) gauging station on the Scott River approximately 10 miles downstream of where Moffett Creek enters at Fort Jones (USGS gauging station 11519500). There are also insufficient groundwater elevation data near Fort Jones to compare shallow groundwater elevation changes with respect to daily influent flow increases at the Fort Jones WWTF.

Analysis of stage data for the Scott River gauging station compared with influent flow data for the Fort Jones WWTF indicate that when river stage (and therefore shallow groundwater) rises above a certain threshold, influent flows increase significantly (Figure 7). This indicates that the Fort Jones collection system has a significant infiltration problem. Groundwater infiltration is expected to be worse in the parts of the collection system closer to Moffett Creek because that is the lowest portion of the collection system where shallow groundwater is closest to the surface. Moffett Creek is a tributary to the Scott River and likely recedes before the Scott River; this may explain why influent flows at the WWTF decreased prior to the decline of water levels in the Scott River in the spring of 2016 and 2017. Sharp increases in influent flows during 2016 and 2017 also correspond with sustained higher water levels in the Scott River indicating that groundwater may also have been higher during those years. Influent flows did not increase during the sharp spike in river stage during early 2015, indicating that infiltration correlates with sustained high water levels in the river.

An amount of I/I was estimated for two periods when high influent flow was observed at the WWTF between February and May in 2016 and 2017. The shaded blocks in Figure 8 indicate the periods during which high flow was observed and average daily I/I was calculated. The estimated base sanitary flow (39,395 gpd) was subtracted from the daily average influent flow measured at the WWTF to determine daily I/I. The average I/I estimates for the 2016 and 2017 high flow periods are 100,000 gpd and 180,000 gpd, respectively.

For this survey, the collection system was divided into 5 sewer basins. Dividing the collection system into smaller sub-basins allows the City to manage construction, maintenance, and monitoring projects in smaller areas. Flow monitoring can be conducted at the downstream manhole of each basin during peak I/I flows to estimate how much I/I is entering the system from that basin. This may help isolate and prioritize repair or replacement of sewer manholes, mains, and laterals, and identify potential areas of inflow.
• Basin 1-Bridge: This basin is the lowest portion of the collection system that ends at the treatment facility (Figure 9). Pipe material in Basin 1 is comprised of concrete, ABS, transite, and PVC pipe ranging from six to 12 inches in diameter. This portion of the system contains 20 manholes, two publically operated pump stations and one privately operated pump station that services the gas station at the corner of Highway 3 and Eastside Road. Manhole number 9 (MH-9) serves as the divide between Basin 1 and Basins 2 and 3. • Basin 2- Carlock: This is a higher basin, backing up against the hill on East Street (Figure 10). This portion of the system is contains 16 manholes and is comprised of mainly transite and concrete pipe with one section of VCP. Pipe diameters range from four to ten inches. • Basin 3-Diggles: This basin is the lowest portion of the collection system servicing two sides of Moffett Creek including two creek crossings (Figure 11). Basin 3 has the highest likelihood of infiltration from high creek flows due to the proximity to the creek. This part of the system is constructed of PVC, transite, and VCP with pipe diameters between six and 12 inches. MH-20 serves as the transition between Basin 3 and Basin 4. • Basin 4-Stirling: The Stirling Basin services the highest portion of the system on Fern Way off of High Street and joins Basin 3 near Moffett Creek (Figure 12). Stirling Basin is constructed of 4-10 inch diameter pipe constructed of VCP, concrete, and transite with one section of PVC. One section of VCP and PVC pipe near Moffett Creek northwest of, and parallel to, Highway 3, runs behind a row of houses across private properties creating potential issues related to access and maintenance. Basin 4 contains 13 manholes and one cleanout. MH-25 serves as the transition from Basin 4 to Basin 5. • Basin 5-Marble View: This basin services the furthest portion of the system from the treatment facility consisting of 4- and 6-inch diameter DIP and VCP (Figure 13). Basin 5 contains 16 manholes and two pump stations located at the furthest extent of the system near the baseball field. One pump station is located on the southwestern edge of the ball field and the other is near the bathrooms on the northeastern side of the ball field.

4.3 Rainfall Simulation
In the State’s SSES guidance document, the SWRCB identifies 4 options for simulating rainfall in a sewer collection system including smoke testing, dye testing, air or water testing, and CCTV inspections. The California Rural Water Association (CRWA) is planning to conduct smoke testing of the sewer collection system during the summer of 2017. Smoke test results will be used to identify areas where leaks in the system are allowing I/I to enter. The location of infiltration through broken pipes, misaligned joints, improperly connected laterals, and leaking manholes can be determined. Smoke testing can also identify sources of potential rainwater inflow including illegally connected downspouts and rainwater sumps, cleanouts and manholes that are not properly sealed.

Due to known issues with the Fort Jones sewer system and our investigations, smoke test results are not necessary to proceed with rehabilitation of the sewer system. CRWA is willing to provide smoke testing at little or no cost to Fort Jones, and the information provided will be useful in identifying additional problems in the system that can be included in later phases of rehabilitation.

4.4 Sewer Main Condition Assessment
The Fort Jones sanitary sewer collection system is in need of repair to reduce I/I into the WWTF.

Approximately 75% of the sewer mains in the system are made of materials other than plastic (PVC or ABS) indicating that they are older pipe. Sewer main repair or replacement has been prioritized using CCTV inspection reports from 2004, notes from City staff, field inspections by SHN, proximity of sewer mains to Moffett Creek, and pipe material. Data collected during a previous assessment of the collection system in 2004 as well as more recent data (2017) have been used to classify the sewer pipe into three categories:

1. No Action

2. Low Priority

3. High Priority
Figure 14 shows the location of each type of pipe classification and Table 6 includes a summary of each class and the total length in each. The system is essentially broken into two phases; the first phase being the high priority areas, and the second phase being the low priority areas. Phasing the rehabilitation of the system should remove more I/I during the first phase focusing on areas near Moffett Creek where groundwater infiltration is suspected to be a problem. Smoke testing, to be completed following this assessment, may identify additional high priority areas and will also point to sources of inflow that are typically less costly to remove. Smoke testing can also identify whether laterals are a significant problem which can significantly increase or decrease the cost and complexity of the project.

Y:\2016\516035-FJ-WWTF\100-SSES\PUBS\rpts\20170801-Ft Jones SSES.docx 11 system, these pipes have not received a prioritization ranking for repair or replacement. There are a total of 6,337 feet of newer sewer mains in the collection system that received a “None” priority (Table 6). If smoke testing reveals that there are problems with these pipes, they can be added to the repair/replacement project list.

4.4.1 No Action
PVC and ABS pipe is assumed to be newer pipe than the other pipe materials used in the system and less likely to need repair or replacement at this time. Few PVC and ABS pipes were inspected in 2004 indicating that these pipes were not a priority at that time, likely because they are newer pipes. During the 13 years since 2004, conditions may have changed and the PVC and ABS pipes should be placed on a regular schedule for CCTV inspection along with the rest of the system.

However, given the poor condition of the rest of the collection system, these pipes have received a prioritization ranking of no action for repair or replacement, at this time.

There are a total of 6,337 feet of no action sewer mains in the collection system (Table 6). If smoke testing reveals that there are problems with these pipes, they can be added to the repair/replacement project.

4.4.2 Low Priority
Sewer mains given a low prioritization ranking are generally further from Moffett Creek, had fewer noted structural problems such as cracks and holes, and had no reports of problems from Town staff. There are 8,627 feet of low priority sewer main in the system including 4-, 6-, 8-, and 10-inch diameter, concrete, transite, and DIP (Table 6).

Y:\2016\516035-FJ-WWTF\100-SSES\PUBS\rpts\20170801-Ft Jones SSES.docx 12 4.4.3 High Priority
Sewer mains given a high prioritization ranking are generally closer to Moffett Creek, are in reported problem areas, had structural defects reported in 2004, or were recommended for replacement in 2004. High priority sewer mains include 4-, 6-, 8-, 10-, and 12-inch diameter, concrete, transite, clay, and DIP. Structural defects include holes, cracks, and cave-ins including one pipe with a power pole protruding through it. Other defects include offset joints, service break-ins, roots, mortar, grease, I/I, and bellies. There are a total of 10,514 feet of high priority sewer main (Table 6).

Two segments of 10-inch concrete pipe between manholes 2 and 4 are recommended to be upsized to 12-inch PVC pipe to match the diameter of pipe upstream and downstream.

There are sections of sewer main that run through private property, behind houses and buildings, making access difficult. Ideally, these pipes would be re-routed into public rights of way; however, additional lift stations may be necessary due to slope restrictions, making this a costly alternative.

Some of the pipes that run through private property have not received a high priority ranking because they are already PVC pipe, indicating that they have been replaced recently.

The industry standard minimum sewer main diameter is six inches. A few segments of 4-inch diameter sewer main did not receive a high prioritization rank because there were no reported problems and because they are distant from Moffett Creek; it should be noted that these pipes were not inspected in 2004 by CCTV.

Vitrified clay pipe (VCP) is typically a problematic material because it is very fragile and typically much older than other types of pipe. One segment of VCP has not received a high prioritization ranking because it is located in an area that is not considered high priority with respect to reducing infiltration. If smoke testing reveals that this segment of pipe is broken or leaky, it may be added to the replacement project.

4.5 Manhole Inspections
Collecting data on manholes provides insight to help:
• Determine construction style/material and manhole size. • Determine and categorize structural condition and defects. • Identify sources of inflow and infiltration.
• Determine approximate depth from rim to invert.
• Verify presence solids accumulation and backups or surcharges.

Other criteria assessed in the inspections included the condition of the casting, steps, cover, and apron, signs of infiltration, evidence of overflow, whether or not the manhole is subject to flooding or ponding, solids accumulation, grease build up, structural integrity, and overall manhole condition.

Every manhole was inspected during the 2004 sewer evaluation noting diameter, depth, construction materials, and whether the manhole contained debris or showed signs of leakage Y:\2016\516035-FJ-WWTF\100-SSES\PUBS\rpts\20170801-Ft Jones SSES.docx 13 (Hammond Engineering, 2004). Hammond (2004) recommended 19 manholes be prioritized for replacement, but indicated that as many as 37 should be replaced at that time.

This SSES has focused on priority areas of the system near Moffett Creek that are more likely to result in reduced I/I when repaired. An inspection of 33 manholes along or near Moffett Creek was conducted in June 2017 to confirm findings from the 2004 survey, and determine if conditions had changed. A total of 24 out of the 33 manholes surveyed are recommended for repair or replacement (Figure 7). Manhole inspection reports are included in Appendix B. Results of the 2017 manhole inspections are included in Table 7.

As discussed in Section 4.1.2.2, flow data and Town staff observations have indicated that I/I increases with increasing flow in Moffett Creek and that I/I is less significant in areas of the Town further away from Moffett Creek. Therefore, the June 2017 inspections evaluated only manholes along or near Moffett Creek and focused strictly on I/I concerns, as opposed to non-I/I concerns, such as structural issues or hydrogen-sulfide-induced corrosion.

The 2017 inspections found that most of the manholes along or near Moffett Creek showed some signs of I/I. The main reason was from mortar deterioration in manholes constructed with block, but significant I/I could also be seen in precast concrete manholes where the joint gasket had deteriorated. Table 8 lists the manholes inspected and the recommendation.

For the most part, rehabilitating the existing manholes with a sprayed-on or troweled liner, such as a cement-epoxy hybrid, would significantly reduce the I/I. However, many of the existing manholes showed signs of other deterioration or poor construction that would warrant a full replacement. This should be evaluated during final design.

Y:\2016\516035-FJ-WWTF\100-SSES\PUBS\rpts\20170801-Ft Jones SSES.docx 15 5.0 Identified Deficiencies
The Fort Jones wastewater collection system deficiencies are limited to the condition of the aging pipes and their I/I contribution to the high peak flows experienced by the treatment facility. The primary concern is pipe in the vicinity of Moffett Creek where shallow groundwater may enter the collection system through cracks, holes, and joints in aging pipes. The CCTV inspections conducted in 2004 identified many pipe segments in need of urgent repair (Hammond Engineering, 2004).

Few repairs have been conducted since 2004 such that recommendations made in 2004 are assumed to be as urgent, or more so, today. Recommendations of pipe replacement made in 2004 were one factor considered in the current prioritization method, an additional criterion of proximity to the creek was added to their assessment of the system. Town staff reports were included in the evaluation of the system deficiencies and were used to identify areas where pipe defects are causing known problems.

The final summary of recommended repairs is as follows:
• Replace 917 feet of 4-inch pipe with 6-inch PVC sewer pipe • Replace 3,841 feet of 6-inch pipe with 6-inch PVC sewer pipe • Replace 4,171 feet of 8-inch pipe with 8-inch PVC sewer pipe • Replace 347 feet of 10-inch pipe with 10-inch PVC sewer pipe • Replace 1,067 feet of 10-inch pipe with 12-inch PVC sewer pipe • Replace 171 feet of 12-inch pipe with 12-inch PVC sewer pipe • Replace approximately 140 private sewer laterals along high priority mainline that is replaced or repaired
• Rehabilitate or replace 30 manholes (near Moffett Creek, based on 2017 inspections).

6.0 Estimated I/I Reduction
Estimates for the percent I/I reduction from collection system rehabilitation methods are included in Table 8. These estimates are based on previous rehabilitation projects implemented by SHN.

SHN recommends Fort Jones pursue Method 2: mainline and lateral to edge of right-of-way.

Ideally, laterals would be replaced all the way to the buildings, however, the City may not be able to replace laterals on private property either because they cannot pay for it, or because they cannot force private parties to pay for replacement without an ordinance.

Table 8
Rehabilitation Methods for Collection System Repair
Fort Jones Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Survey
Method Description I/I1 Reduction Rates2
Low High
1 Mainline rehabilitation only 20% 40%
2 Mainline and lateral to edge of right-of-way rehabilitation 40% 60% 3 Mainline and lateral to house rehabilitation 60% 80%

1. I/I: infiltration and inflow

2. I/I reduction rates based on previous projects implemented by SHN Y:\2016\516035-FJ-WWTF\100-SSES\PUBS\rpts\20170801-Ft Jones SSES.docx 16 The amount of I/I that will be reduced by implementing rehabilitation method 2 (Table 8) is estimated to be between 40-60% for the segments of pipe that are replaced or repaired. The percent of the total I/I entering the high priority part of the system is unknown, however, based on the evidence presented in this report, it is likely that the majority of the I/I is entering through the areas identified as high priority for repair or replacement (70% of the whole system).

7.0 Anticipated Costs
Collection systems are often the first component to be neglected due to their “out of sight out of mind” nature, although the initial costs can be quite significant. Repair and/or replacement costs of the portions of the collection system that have been determined to be high priority are summarized in Table 9. Costs for repair and/or replacement will vary depending on the amount of work that is done at one time; price per foot typically decreases as the amount of pipe to be repaired increases. Mainline replacement costs include estimates for traditional dig and replace methods.

When mainline pipe is repaired or replaced for the purpose of I/I reduction, replacement of laterals connected to the mainline is also recommended. Generally, laterals are the more significant contributor to I/I, and if the mainline is being repaired or replaced, it is wise to replace laterals as part of the same project. The Town does not clearly identify in its regulations whom the responsible party is for maintenance of a building lateral. For this study, it is assumed replacement of the lateral is up to the property line. The cost to replace house laterals is approximately $5,500 per lateral, with the cost varying due to local site conditions.

Administration (4%) $109,170
Project Total $4,066,566

1. LF: lineal foot

2. EA: each

3. For strictly I/I reduction, it was determined that rehabilitation using a liner would be appropriate for each of the inspected manholes; however, for other reasons (see text), complete replacement may be the preferred course of action. Costs are assumed to be complete replacement for the inspected manholes along or near Moffett Creek.

Y:\2016\516035-FJ-WWTF\100-SSES\PUBS\rpts\20170801-Ft Jones SSES.docx 17 Treatment costs are currently being developed in a separate study, so a full cost-effective analysis curve cannot be completed. However, based on the following items, the costs presented herein are assumed to be reasonable and provide the best approach for reducing I/I in the Town of Fort Jones:
• The majority of I/I is from high groundwater associated with high flows in Moffett Creek. • Repair/replacement of pipes and manholes along Moffett Creek will significantly reduce I/I.
• The proposed treatment upgrades (aerated ponds or biofiltration) at the Town’s wastewater treatment facility will have significant flexibility to be able to maintain treatment levels even with significant I/I at little to no additional capital or operational cost. • I/I reduction activities within the collection system are therefore divided into two categories:
o High priority: Generally along Moffett Creek, which will provide significant I/I reduction, and other pipes and laterals with known offset joints; and o Low priority: Repair/replacement in the rest of the collection system as previously recommended in 2004, but the incremental cost of repair and/or replacement will likely not be offset by small incremental treatment costs.

Regional Water Board staff require additional information and testing for the proposed treated effluent disposal location and methodology.

Further information is necessary to ensure that disposal methods will not result in detectable wastewater constituents in Moffett Creek and the Scott River, and will not result in violation of groundwater quality standards, and to determine the ability of the disposal area to accommodate projected wastewater flows.

We are requiring submittal of a workplan for a hydrogeologic investigation. The workplan proposal shall be designed to investigate:

1. Current and projected depths of the disposal area;

2. Site specific lithologic profile;

3. Depth to groundwater, including seasonal variations; The Town of Fort Jones WWTF
Order No. R1-2014-0029
WDID No. 1A81157OSIS
Limitations and Discharge Requirements 13

4. Seasonal groundwater gradients;

5. Calculated capacity of areal soils to accommodate current and projected wastewater flows; and

6. Concentration gradients of targeted wastewater constituents measured at various points extending away from the disposal area, towards Moffett Creek and the Scott River.

Information developed in accordance with implementation of an approved investigation workplan shall be summarized in a subsequent report, which models the fate and transport of wastewater pollutant disposal. The workplan shall be submitted within 6 months of permit adoption. The subsequent summary report of work shall be submitted within 24 months of workplan approval.

IX. COMPLIANCE DETERMINATION
Compliance with the effluent limitations contained in section IV of this Order will be determined as specified below.

A. Average Monthly Effluent Limitation (AMEL)
The arithmetic mean of all samples collected in a calendar month, calculated as the sum of all samples in a calendar month divided by the number of samples. If only one sample is collected in a calendar month, that sample result will constitute the monthly average and daily maximum results for the purpose of determining compliance with effluent limitations.

If the average of daily discharges over a calendar month exceeds the AMEL for a given parameter, this will represent a single violation, though the Permittee will be considered out of compliance for each day of that month for that parameter (e.g., resulting in 31 days of non-compliance in a 31-day month). If only a single sample is taken during the calendar month and the analytical result for that sample exceeds the AMEL, the Permittee will be considered out of compliance for that calendar month. The Permittee will only be considered out of compliance for days when the discharge occurs. For any one calendar month during which no sample (daily discharge) is taken, no compliance determination can be made for that calendar month.

B. Average Weekly Effluent Limitation (AWEL)
If the average (or when applicable, the median determined by subsection B above for multiple sample data) of daily discharges over a calendar week exceeds the AWEL for a given parameter, this will represent a single violation, though the Permittee will be considered out of compliance for each day of that week for that The Town of Fort Jones WWTF
Order No. R1-2014-0029
WDID No. 1A81157OSIS
Limitations and Discharge Requirements 14
parameter, resulting in 7 days of non-compliance. If only a single sample is taken during the calendar week and the analytical result for that sample exceeds the AWEL, the Permittee will be considered out of compliance for that calendar week.

The Permittee will only be considered out of compliance for days when the discharge occurs. For any one calendar week during which no sample (daily discharge) is taken, no compliance determination can be made for that calendar week.

C. Maximum Daily Effluent Limitation (MDEL)
If a daily discharge (or when applicable, the median determined by subsection B, above, for multiple sample data of a daily discharge) exceeds the MDEL for a given parameter, the Permittee will be considered out of compliance for that parameter for that 1 day only within the reporting period. For any 1 day during which no sample is taken, no compliance determination can be made for that day.

D. Instantaneous Minimum Effluent Limitations
If the analytical result of a single grab sample is lower than the instantaneous minimum effluent limitation for a parameter, the Permittee will be considered out of compliance for that parameter for that single sample. Non-compliance for each sample will be considered separately (e.g., the results of two grab samples taken within a calendar day that both are lower than the instantaneous minimum effluent limitation would result in two instances of non-compliance with the instantaneous minimum effluent limitation).

E. Instantaneous Maximum Effluent Limitations
If the analytical result of a single grab sample is higher than the instantaneous maximum effluent limitation for a parameter, the Permittee will be considered out of compliance for that parameter for that single sample. Non-compliance for each sample will be considered separately (e.g., the results of two grab samples taken within a calendar day that both exceed the instantaneous maximum effluent limitation would result in two instances of non-compliance with the instantaneous maximum effluent limitation).

F. Bacteriological Limitations

1. Median. The median is the central tendency concentration of the pollutant.

The data set shall be ranked from low to high, ranking the ND concentrations lowest, DNQ determinations next, followed by quantified values. The order of the individual ND and DNQ determinations is not important. The median value is determined based on the number of data points in the data set. If the data set has an odd number of data points, then the median is the middle value. If the data set has an even number of data points, the median is the average of The Town of Fort Jones WWTF
Order No. R1-2014-0029
WDID No. 1A81157OSIS
Limitations and Discharge Requirements 15
the two middle values, unless one or both points are ND or DNQ, in which case the median value shall be the lower of the two middle data points. DNQ is lower than a detected value, and ND is lower than DNQ.

2. Compliance with the 7-day median will be determined as a rolling median during periods when sampling occurs more frequently than weekly. During periods when sampling is weekly, this requirement shall apply to each weekly sample.

ATTACHMENT C – FACT SHEET

FACILITY INFORMATION
A. Background
The Town of Fort Jones (hereinafter Permittee) is currently discharging pursuant to Waste Discharge Requirements Order No. 98-1. The Permittee submitted a Report of Waste Discharge (ROWD), on March 20, 2014, and applied for renewal of waste discharge requirements to discharge up to 0.060 mgd of treated wastewater from the Town of Fort Jones Wastewater Treatment Facility (hereinafter Facility) to land owned by the Permittee.

B. General Facility Information
The Permittee owns and operates a wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal facility that provides sewerage service to the Town. The wastewater system has 342 connections, of which 3 are restaurants. There are no significant industrial users.

C. Existing Wastewater Treatment and Reclamation Facility The Permittee owns and operates a wastewater treatment and disposal system comprised of a gravity collection system, Imhoff tank, and percolation/evaporation ponds. The Facility has six percolation/evaporation ponds for effluent disposal.

The collection system consists of a conventional gravity collection system with two small lift stations which transport wastewater to the Imhoff tank. Wastewater from the Imhoff tank flows to a 2.6-acre pond system for treatment and disposal.

Attachment A provides a map of the area around the Facility.

II. FINDINGS
A. Legal Authorities. This Order serves as Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) for discharges to land issued pursuant to section 13263 of the California Water Code (Water Code).

B. Basin Plan. As required by Water Code section 13263(a), these WDRs are crafted to implement the Water Quality Control Plan for the North Coast Region (Basin Plan), and in so doing, the Regional Water Board has taken into consideration the beneficial uses to be protected, the water quality objectives (both numeric and narrative) reasonably required for that purpose, other (including previous) waste discharges, the need to prevent nuisance, and the provisions of Water Code section 13241. The Basin Plan contains implementation plans and policies for protecting waters of the basin. The Basin Plan implements State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) Resolution No. 88-63, which established state policy that all waters, with certain exceptions, should be considered suitable or potentially suitable for municipal or domestic supply.

C. California Water Code. The California Water Code (Water Code) establishes the authority for the Regional Water Board to establish water quality objectives, impose discharge prohibitions, and prescribe waste discharge and reclamation requirements. Water Code section 13241 requires each regional board to “establish such water quality objectives in water quality control plans as in its judgment will ensure the reasonable protection of beneficial uses and the prevention of nuisance […].” The control of pollutants discharged is established through effluent limitations and other requirements in Waste Discharge Requirement permits. Water Code section 13243 provides that “A regional board, in a water quality control plan or in waste discharge requirements, may specify certain conditions or areas where the discharge of waste, or certain types of waste, will not be permitted. Water Code section 13260 et seq establishes regulations associated with the prescription of waste discharge requirements and Water Code Chapter 7 (section 13500 et seq) establishes regulations associated with the prescription of reclamation requirements.

It is the Regional Water Board’s intent that this Order shall ensure attainment of water quality standards, applicable water quality objectives, and protection of beneficial uses of receiving waters. This Order therefore requires the Permittee to comply with all prohibitions, effluent limitations, discharge specifications, receiving water limitations, standard provisions, and monitoring and reporting requirements. The Order further prohibits discharges from causing violations of water quality objectives or causing conditions to occur that create a condition of nuisance or water quality impairment in receiving waters as a result of the discharge.

D. California Code of Regulations (CCR). The discharge authorized herein and the treatment and storage facilities associated with the discharge are exempt from the requirements of title 27, CCR, section 20005 et seq. The exemption, pursuant to section 20090(b) of title 27, allows for the exemption of discharges of wastewater if;

1. The applicable Regional Board has issued WDRs;

2. The discharge is in compliance with the applicable water quality control plan (Basin Plan); and

3. The wastewater does not need to be managed as a hazardous waste.

E. Antidegradation Policy. The State Water Board established California’s antidegradation policy in State Water Board Resolution No. 68-16. Resolution No. 68-16 requires that existing quality of waters be maintained unless degradation is justified based on specific findings. The Regional Water Board’s Basin Plan implements, and incorporates by The Town of Fort Jones WWTF
Order No. R1-2014-0029
WDID No. 1A81157OSIS
Attachment C – Fact Sheet C-4
reference, the State antidegradation policy. The permitted discharge is consistent with the provisions of State Water Board Resolution No. 68-16, Statement of Policy with Respect to Maintaining High Quality of Waters in California. This project consists of the operation or minor alteration of an existing facility which involves minimum change in use beyond that previously existing.

The Permittee is in the process of developing a pretreatment and self-monitoring program.

This program will require each commercial establishment to maintain and provide the Permittee with records of interceptor monitoring, maintenance and cleaning activities.

Attachment B of this Order requires ongoing groundwater monitoring for nitrogen and coliform to ensure that concentrations of pollutants will not adversely impact beneficial uses.

This Order is consistent with the maximum benefit to people of the State because: (i) it allows continued operation of an existing wastewater treatment system; and (ii) it requires monitoring of surface and groundwater impacts or potential impacts from disposal of treated wastewater.

F. Endangered Species Act. This Order does not authorize any act that results in the taking of a threatened or endangered species or any act that is now prohibited, or becomes prohibited in the future, under either the California Endangered Species Act (Fish and Game Code sections 2050 to 2097). The Permittee is responsible for meeting all requirements of the applicable Endangered Species Act.

G. Monitoring and Reporting. Water Code sections 13267 and 13383 authorize the Regional Water Board to require technical and monitoring reports. The Monitoring and Reporting Program establishes monitoring and reporting requirements to implement federal and State requirements. This Monitoring and Reporting Program is provided in Attachment B.

The Executive Officer of the Regional Water Board is delegated the authority to modify the Monitoring and Reporting Program, as determined appropriate to protect water quality. 14_0029_FortJones_WDR

8 Section 3: Legal Authority
Regulatory Requirements for Legal Authority Element
Each Waste Water Collection System Agency (Town of Fort Jones) must demonstrate, through sanitary sewer system use ordinances, service agreements, or other legally binding procedures, that it possesses the necessary legal authority to:
• Prevent illicit discharges into its sanitary sewer system (examples may include storm water, chemical dumping, unauthorized debris, and cut roots, ECT.); • Control infiltration and in flow from satellite collection systems and laterals; • Require that sewer and connections be properly designed and constructed including all new and rehabilitated sewer systems and connections;
• Ensure access for maintenance, inspection, or repairs for portions of the lateral owned or maintained by the Town of Fort Jones;
• Limit the discharge of fats, oils and grease and other debris that may cause blockages; • Enforce any violations of it sewer ordinances;
9 Section 4: Operations and Maintenance
Section 4a: Collection System Map
Requirements: Each wastewater collection system agency shall maintain up-to-date maps of its wastewater collection system facilities, showing all gravity line segments and manholes, pumping facilities, pressure pipes and valves, and applicable storm-water pumping and piping facilities.

Section 4b: Preventative Operation and Maintenance
Requirements: Each wastewater facility shall describe routine preventative operations and maintenance activities by staff and contractors, including a system for scheduling regular maintenance and cleaning of the sanitary sewer with more frequent cleaning and maintenance targeted at known problem areas. The Preventative Maintenance Program should have a system to document scheduled and conducted activities, such as work orders.

Preventative Root Maintenance Program
The continual flow of nutrient-filled water found in sewer pipes attracts tree roots. Roots growing along the pipes can exert significant pressures on pipes, and roots pushing into and around gasket connection points expand in a radial manner and break seals.

Root infiltration can cause a blockage to the lateral, the sewer line servicing your home, resulting in sewage backup in your home and damage to your furnishings.

Homeowners are responsible for maintaining the lateral that services their home from their home to the Towns mainline.

Town of Fort Jones Uses the conventional method of removing roots by cutting or tearing is used to solve an immediate problem or stoppage,
Unfortunately they can't stop all roots from growing and from time to time will have to excavate and replace sewer pipe.

Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) Program
Town of Fort Jones has implemented the following FOG program. All customers have been supplied with information on the proper disposal of FOG related items, and have been advised of the possible damage that can be caused if these items are improperly disposed of into the sewage system.

Town of Fort Jones as a preventative maintenance program bi-annually introduces an environmentally friendly degreasing agent into the main sewage lines in order to prevent major FOG related blockages and SSO’s. Town of Fort Jones introduces these agents by means of the manholes directly into the sewer system at designated areas so that they travel through the entire system allowing for the best possible coverage.
10 Pipeline Cleaning Program
Town of Fort Jones performs semi-annual maintenance on the sewer lines in the entire system. This includes a visual inspection and the use of an approved degreasing agent introduced into the pipeline for cleaning.

Town of Fort Jones maintains records of all system repairs either scheduled or emergency at the office. These records are used to identify possible problem areas in the system, as well as potential problems. These records are also used in order to maintain compliance with regulatory agencies.

Camera Monitoring Program
The Town of Fort Jones sewer system camera monitoring was conducted in 2004.

Chart to identify nature and quantity of debris removed during cleaning.

Nature and Quantity of Debris
Removed during Cleaning Type of
Debris
Clear (no debris) Light Moderate Heavy
Sand, grit, rock CLR DL DM DH
Grease CLR GL GM GH
Roots CLR RL RM RH
Other (specify) CLR OL OM OH
Lift Station Preventative Maintenance Program
Town of Fort Jones performs annual preventive maintenance and cleaning of the four lift stations in the system. Maintenance includes pressure washing the holding tanks, visual inspections of the tank and all equipment, and documenting any potential problems or damage requiring repair or replacement. Work orders will then be issued and Town of Fort Jones staff will repair or replace the affected portions of the lift stations. All records of this maintenance will then be documented and kept on file.

System Blind Spots
In the Town of Fort Jones system there are no true blind spots where an SSS would go unnoticed for any amount of time long or otherwise. Potentially the 17 residences on Main Street, 6 residences on Mathews and 2 residences on Carlock do have the sewer lines running through the backyards of the homes. This makes them unnoticeable to Town of Fort Jones staff, but would be very noticeable to the resident in case of an SSS.
11 Work Order System
A work order system is being implemented to allow for documentation and the tracking of progress and potential hot spots within the system. A work order will be written for all repairs and maintenance done on the system prior to work being completed, with an exception existing in case of a system emergency where a work order will be written after the initial emergency has concluded or all repairs have been completed.

Work order records will be used to determine how much of the system was cleaned, repaired, or replaced during a year. The records will also identify the exact location of all work completed on the system and will identify if any areas are affected more often than others.

Customer Complaints
Town of Fort Jones will take all complaints from customers very seriously. In case of a complaint, a work order will be issued to allow Town of Fort Jones staff to investigate the nature of the complaint. The results of this investigation will remain documented at the office. In the case that there is no identifiable problem, this will be documented on the work order and kept on file. If a problem is identified Town of Fort Jones staff will work to promptly resolve the problem. If the problem is identified in an area not property of the Town of Fort Jones, the homeowner, will be advised of the problem and will be advised on the procedures to follow to resolve the problem. If a homeowner does not resolve the problem Town of Fort Jones will do so with all costs to include labor, materials, permits, and administration fees to be charged back to the homeowner. If the home owner refuses to pay said costs legal action and possible termination of services provided by the Town of Fort Jones may be pursued to resolve the debt incurred to the town.

Section 4c: Rehabilitation and Replacement Plan
Requirements: Develop a rehabilitation and replacement plan to identify and prioritize system deficiencies and implement short-term and long-term rehabilitation actions to address each deficiency. The program should include regular visual inspection and TV inspections of manholes and sewer pipes, and system for ranking the conditions of sewer pipes and scheduling rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation and replacement should focus on sewer pipes that are at risk of collapse or prone to more frequent blockages due to pipe defects. Finally, the rehabilitation and replacement plan should include a capital improvement plan that addresses proper management and protection of the infrastructure. The plan shall include a time schedule for implement the short-term plans plus a schedule for developing the funds needed for the capital improvement plan.

Rehabilitation and Replacement Plan
Town of Fort Jones infrastructure is a constant concern of the town. Town of Fort Jones is implementing a rehabilitation and replacement program to address the needs to update, repair and replace infrastructure that is no longer working at the highest levels of efficiency. The plan will call for a three tier program that starts with system evaluation, then repair and rehabilitation, and finally follow-up. This program will set projects within two categories which are long-term projects and short term projects. Short term projects will include the actual time to perform the evaluation of the system in the determined areas to identify the extent of any needed repairs, replacement and 12 rehabilitation. In cases where the evaluation shows no needed response the area will documented as clear and the next designated area will then be addressed. Short term projects will be determined by financial impact on the town, if the yearly allotted budget will not allow for the cost of a determined repair it will be deemed a long-term project. Long-term projects will be deemed any project requiring funds more than the allotted amount in the yearly budget for repair and maintenance. These will include any Rehabilitation or repair that will require the use of finances from an outside source or from future revenues to complete the said project. Capital improvements will be addressed as long term projects. To assist in funding future long-term projects Capital Improvement Accounts will be set-up for each major long term project to aid in financing future projects. The final step of the rehabilitation and replacement plan will be to continually reevaluate areas after rehabilitation has been completed to get an estimate on time of service for all repaired or replaced materials to a lot for proper maintenance, upkeep, and a estimated time that future repair or replacement may need to take place. It will allow the town to see from start to completion the time necessary to make such repairs or replacements, and will allow for better estimates for funds needed to continue such projects. It will also allow the town to evaluate the effectiveness of repairs and replacements in order to assure the efficiency of the system as a whole. The system running as efficiently as possible is the Towns primary goal.

Town of Fort Jones as a preventative maintenance program bi-annually introduces an environmentally friendly degreasing agent into the main sewage lines in order to prevent major FOG related blockages and SSO’s. Town of Fort Jones introduces these agents by means of the manholes directly into the sewer system at designated areas so that they travel through the entire system allowing for the best possible coverage.

Section 8: System Evaluation and Capacity
Assurance Plan
Introduction:

This section of the SSMP outlines the District’s programs and activities to provide adequate capacity.

Requirements:

The Enrollee shall prepare and implement a capital improvement plan that will provide hydraulic capacity of key sanitary sewer system elements for dry weather peak flow conditions, as well as the appropriate design storm or wet weather event. At a minimum, the plan must include:
a. Evaluation: Actions needed to evaluate those portions of the sanitary sewer system that are experiencing or contributing to an SSS discharge caused by hydraulic deficiency. The evaluation must provide estimates of peak flows (including flows from SSS’s that escape the system) associated with conditions similar to those causing overflow events, estimates of the capacity of key system components, hydraulic deficiencies (including components of the system with limiting capacities) and the major sources that contribute to the peak flows associated with overflow events.
b. Design Criteria: Where design criteria do not exist or are deficient, undertake the evaluation identified in (a) above to establish appropriate design criteria; and c. Capacity Assurance Measures: The steps needed to establish a short- and long-term CIP to address identified hydraulic deficiencies, including prioritization, alternative analysis, and schedules. The CIP may include increase in pipe size, I/I reduction, increases and redundancy in pumping capacity, and storage facilities. The CIP shall include an implementation schedule and shall identify sources of funding. 22 d. Schedule: The Enrollee shall develop a schedule of completion dates for all portions (a)-(c) above. This schedule shall be reviewed and updated consistent with the SSMP review and update requirements as described in Section D.14.

Evaluation-Collection System Master Plan
The Town of Fort Jones has completed an assessment of the capacity of our current infrastructure to show that it has adequate resources to handle the inflow and infiltration possible with the system as currently operating. The Town of Fort Jones has made it part of the design criteria to be included in the requirements of any contractor wishing to build within the communities’ jurisdiction the need to increase the capacity of the infrastructure to maintain compliance with this SSMP and any other state regulations.

Design Criteria
The capacity-related design criteria are included in Section 5 of the SSMP, Design and Performance Provisions.

Capacity Enhancement Measures-Capital Improvement Program The Town of Fort Jones will include that contractors whom wish to build within the communities’ jurisdiction will be required to increase the capacity of the current infrastructure to maintain the standards of this SSMP and any other state regulations.

There are no known deficiencies currently noted within the system. Future enhancements will be documented within the Town of Fort Jones Capital Improvement Plan if a need is determined. At this time no increases in the system will be publicly funded as the system has proven itself adequate. The design criteria and requirements must be agreed upon by any private contractor wishing to build in the community prior to their projects actually being approved by the Town of Fort Jones.
23 Schedule
The Town of Fort Jones will place any publicly funded enhancements to the infrastructure of the current system in the Capital Improvement Plan if a need is determined. At this point no known deficiencies have been found to identify a need to be scheduled.

Section 4: Lifting and Moving Objects
Improper lifting techniques are responsible for a large percentage of back injuries among workers.

Proper methods of lifting and handling protect against injury, and makes work easier.

You need to “think” about what you are going to do before bending to pick up an object. Over time, safe lifting techniques should become habit.

The following are the basic steps of safe lifting and handling:

1. Size up the load and check overall conditions. Don’t attempt the lift by yourself if the load appears to be too heavy or awkward. Check that there is enough space for movement, and that the footing is good. “Good Housekeeping” ensures that you won’t trip or stumble over an obstacle.

2. Make certain that your balance is good. Feet should be shoulder width apart, with one foot beside and the other foot behind the object that is to be lifted.

3. Bend at the knees, don’t stoop. Keep back straight, but not vertical. (There is a difference.

Tucking the chin straightens the back.)

4. Grip the load with the palms of hands and fingers. The palms grip is much more secure.

Tuck in the chin again to make certain your back is straight before starting to lift.

5. Use your body weight to start the load moving, and then lift by pushing up with the legs.

This makes full use of the strongest set of muscles.

6. Keep the arms and elbows close to the body while lifting.

7. Carry the load close to the body. Don’t twist your body while carrying the load. To change directions, shift your foot position and turn your whole body.

8. Watch where you are going!

9. To lower the object, bend knees. Don’t stoop. To deposit the load on a bench or shelf, place it on the edge and push it into position. Make sure your hands and feet are clear when placing the load.
• Make it a habit to follow the above steps when lifting anything-even a relatively light object.
• TEAM LIFTING must be coordinated
32 • If the weight, shape, or size of an object makes the job much for one person, ask for help.
• Ideally, workers should be of approximately the same size for team lifting. One individual needs to be responsible for the control of the action to ensure proper coordination. If one worker lifts too soon, shifts the load, or lowers it improperly, either they or the person working with them may be injured. • LIFTING HEAVY OBJECTS
• Safe lifting of heavy items requires training and practice. For example, we’ve probably all seen a small person move heavy sacks with apparent ease. The secret lies in taking the proper stance and grip. When equipment is available, it should be used to lift and carry heavy objects. Loaders, forklifts, hoists, ect. Are made for this purpose.

Finally, some “DO’s” and “DON’Ts” of safe lifting and carrying.

DO:

Tuck in chin to keep the back as
straight as possible while lifting.

Lift with the strong muscles.

Ask for help with heavy, awkward
items.

When possible, use mechanical
equipment to move heavy items.

DON’T:

Use your back muscles to do lifting.

Try to lift an item that is too heavy of
awkward.

Twist your body while carrying an
object.

Attempt team lifting without proper
coordination.

4 1.0 INTRODUCTION:

The Town of Fort Jones is a small Incorporated City located in Siskiyou County. The Town of Fort Jones has a very small wastewater system, serving the entire Town of Fort Jones.

This wastewater system serves roughly 661 customers. The mission of the Town of Fort Jones is to provide safe, reliable and responsive sewer service to the community.

The wastewater treatment and disposal system are comprised of a gravity collection system, Imhoff tank, and percolation/evaporation ponds. The facility has 3 percolation/evaporation ponds for effluent disposal with one overflow pond.

The collection system is a conventional gravity collection system with 4 small lift stations which transport wastewater to the Imhoff tank. Wastewater from the Imhoff tank flows to a

2.6-acre pond system for treatment and disposal. There are approximately 20 homeowner lift stations, mostly located on Marbleview Drive.
5 1.1 Treatment Plant:
6 2.0 Town of Fort Jones Treatment Process:

LOCATION: Scott River/Moffett Creek
The Town of Fort Jones Wastewater
Treatment Plant is located near the
Scott River. The Treatment plant is
very located in very close proximity
to Moffett Creek, approximately 500
feet or less. The Wastewater
treatment facility was originally
installed in the 1940’s.

There is one discharge point, known
as point 001. This point is located at
N 41°36’19” Latitude and W
122°51’33” Longitude. The discharge
point is to groundwater, as opposed
to a surface water discharge
location. The Town of Fort Jones full
discharge requirements can be
found in the Waste Discharge
Requirement Order No. 98-1.

The facility is designed to process a
flow of 0.060 million gallons per day
(mgd) Average Dry Weather Flow
(ADWF).
7 UNIT PROCESS: Flow Monitoring Station
The Town of Fort Jones has installed a
Flow Monitoring Station at the treatment
plant site. There are 3 monitoring wells,
known as MW-1, MW-2 and MW-3.

MW-1 is the up-gradient well, MW-2 and
MW-3 are both down gradient wells.

UNIT PROCESS: Percolation/Evaporation Ponds
Town of Fort Jones Percolation
Pond, known as EFF 001. There are
3 percolation/evaporation ponds for
effluent disposal and one overflow
pond.

Wastewater samples are collected
from one of the two wastewater
ponds at the facility, depending on
pond volumes. If all the ponds are
full, the samples are collected from
the westernmost pond. If all the
ponds are not full, the samples are
collected from the easternmost
pond.
8 UNIT PROCESS: Sludge Digester
The Town of Fort Jones has a
sludge digester located within the
Wastewater Treatment Plant
boundaries. Sludge is moved with a
backhoe to another part of the
treatment plant facility as needed.
9 UNIT PROCESS: Pipes and Components
The collection pipes include transit,
concrete, vitrified clay, poly ductile
iron and ABS materials.

There are roughly 5.2-6 miles of
sewer lines in the Fort Jones
system. The pipes range in size from
4”-12” diameter.

There are 83 sanitary sewer cast-inplace manholes with concrete base and block.

UNIT PROCESS: Lift and Pump Stations
There are 3 public pump stations and 2
private. There are 2 lift stations which
transport wastewater to the Imhoff tank.

There are also many pressure stations
throughout the entirety of the Fort Jones
system. The Town of Fort Jones does
not have any flow from other areas.
10 System Equipment
The Town of Fort Jones has a
variety of equipment to be used for
repairs, cleaning/clearing lines and
installing new lines when needed.

The equipment includes the
following: Vac trailer, sewer flusher
truck, tractor/backhoe, case
loader/backhoe, cement saw, trash
pump and a camera to inspect lines.

There is one Fort Jones service
truck used for daily tasks and
general system maintenance.
11 MONITORING & RECORDING
The Town of Fort Jones has
prepared a Monitoring/Reporting
program that is attached to the
wastewater treatment system permit
and can be reviewed for full
monitoring and reporting permit
requirements, permit order R1-2014-
0029, attachment B. The Town of
Fort Jones has prepared a Sewer
System Management Plan (SSMP)
in compliance with SWRCB
requirements. The Fort Jones
system must also comply with the
Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO)
electronic reporting requirements.

The Town of Fort Jones Sewer
System Management Plan (SSMP)
has been prepared according to the
SWRCB's general order for sanitary
sewer systems, order WQ 2022-
0103-DWQ. The SSMP is intended
to meet both the requirements of the
Regional Water Quality Control
Board (RWQCB) and the State
Water Resource Control Board
(SWRCB).
*It is important to clarify that the
waste discharge requirements for
the wastewater treatment facility are
separate from the sanitary sewer
system order listed above. The full
wastewater treatment facility
requirements can be found in order
no. R1-2014-0029.

The Town of Fort Jones wastewater
collection system maintains up-todate maps of the facilities, showing all gravity line segments, manholes,
pumping facilities, pressure pipes
and valves, and applicable stormwater pumping and piping facilities. 12 3.0 ROUTINE OPERATIONS, MAINTENANCE & MONITORING:

The Town of Fort Jones has prepared the following steps to be considered during emergency situations, including system malfunction/emergency and a natural disaster response. Each emergency will be assessed at the time of the event and procedures will be edited to best fit the situation at hand. These practices have been established to protect public health, the Town of Fort Jones Public Works staff, and any emergency support staff reporting to the area. For further Emergency Response details, please see the full Town of Fort Jones Emergency Response Plan.

Access
Alternate Routes Traveling north, take exit 773 towards CA3/Yreka, 0.2mi. Turn left onto CA-3, 0.1mi.

Turn left onto Fort Jones Rd (CA-#), 15.4mi.

Turn right onto Scott River Rd, 213 ft. CA-3
runs through town. You can exit town going
heading east or west
Identification Badges The Town of Fort Jones Operators have sufficient identification on their vehicles
and badges that will allow them access to
the Town during an emergency situation.

Physical Security
Treatment Plant location The Town of Fort Jones treatment plant is in an isolated area of town. The Operator
should have no trouble accessing these
areas during emergencies and tampering is
very unlikely. This area is restricted from
general public use and any unauthorized
vehicles or foot traffic would be
immediately reported.

Manholes, sewer lines, collection system The Town of Fort Jones strongly encourages the Fort Jones residents to
contact the System Operators immediately
if there seems to be illegal activity, theft,
leaks, vandalism of the collection system or
facilities or any natural disaster in the area.

For example, a “See Something, Say
Something” culture is encouraged.

Situations are dealt with on an as needed
basis.

Leaks, overflow, line breaks, system
malfunction
In the event of a line break, reported
overflow, or leaks, the Town of Fort Jones
will use the vacuum trailer or calling Big
Valley Sanitation to come and start
pumping the wastewater to divert it around
the problem area if I can get it unclogged
with the flusher truck.
17 The Town of Fort Jones is currently working with the California Rural Water Association to complete funding applications needed for possible grant money. The Town of Fort Jones has set a priority for the needed projects based on urgency, upcoming CalTrans projects, age of system components and compliance related issues.

1. Replace sewer mains under HWY 3 before the CalTrans pavement Project takes place in 2030. These lines need to be replaced before the CalTrans project takes place so as not to delay or disturb the CalTrans pavement project.

2. Replace/re-engineer sewer mains near Moffet Creek. These sewer mains are incredibly old, original lines, which pose the risk for potential leaks. If these lines were to break or begin leaking, the Town of Fort Jones aquifer and drinking water source could very well become contaminated.

3. Several aging system pipes are in privately owned backyards and need to be relocated to more easily accessible locations. Easements may be required for pipes and mainlines that cannot be moved from the private properties.

4. A Wastewater Operations Plan has never been completed for the Town of Fort Jones.

Mr. Hullquist has requested an Operations Plan be created by Ms. Julia Martinez for operational education, record keeping and compliance needs.

5. The Town of Fort Jones City Administrator and Board of Directors has a high turnover rate. As such, immediate and ongoing training is needed to provide the Administrator and Board members with the knowledge to guide the town decision making process efficiently and effectively and keep them in compliance.

6. The Town of Fort Jones Public Work Department consists of only Mr. Everett Hullquist and one other support operator, Mr. Kevin Hullquist. Everett is the only certified operator, and he operates both the wastewater and drinking water systems for the Town of Fort Jones. Mr. Hullquist needs ongoing training, along with any backup operator or potential support operator interest that can be provided.

The Town of Fort Jones will continue to actively seek funding opportunities to complete the necessary upgrades and system improvements needed to return to compliance.

This document is to be treated as a living document and should be updated annually to ensure all the information is kept up to date. Copies of this document have been provided to the Town of Fort Jones Public Works Supervisor, Mr. Everett Hullquist, via email, hard copy and a disk drive of all files.

Information developed in accordance with implementation of an approved investigation workplan shall be summarized in a subsequent report, which models the fate and transport of wastewater pollutant disposal. The workplan shall be submitted within 6 months of permit adoption. The subsequent summary report of work shall be submitted within 24 months of workplan approval.

IX. COMPLIANCE DETERMINATION
Compliance with the effluent limitations contained in section IV of this Order will be determined as specified below.

A. Average Monthly Effluent Limitation (AMEL)
The arithmetic mean of all samples collected in a calendar month, calculated as the sum of all samples in a calendar month divided by the number of samples. If only one sample is collected in a calendar month, that sample result will constitute the monthly average and daily maximum results for the purpose of determining compliance with effluent limitations.

If the average of daily discharges over a calendar month exceeds the AMEL for a given parameter, this will represent a single violation, though the Permittee will be considered out of compliance for each day of that month for that parameter (e.g., resulting in 31 days of non‐compliance in a 31‐day month). If only a single sample is taken during the calendar month and the analytical result for that sample exceeds the AMEL, the Permittee will be considered out of compliance for that calendar month. The Permittee will only be considered out of compliance for days when the discharge occurs. For any one calendar month during which no sample (daily discharge) is taken, no compliance determination can be made for that calendar month.

B. Average Weekly Effluent Limitation (AWEL)
If the average (or when applicable, the median determined by subsection B above for multiple sample data) of daily discharges over a calendar week exceeds the AWEL for a given parameter, this will represent a single violation, though the Permittee will be considered out of compliance for each day of that week for that The Town of Fort Jones WWTF
Order No. R1‐2014‐0029
WDID No. 1A81157OSIS
Limitations and Discharge Requirements 14
parameter, resulting in 7 days of non‐compliance. If only a single sample is taken during the calendar week and the analytical result for that sample exceeds the AWEL, the Permittee will be considered out of compliance for that calendar week.

The Permittee will only be considered out of compliance for days when the discharge occurs. For any one calendar week during which no sample (daily discharge) is taken, no compliance determination can be made for that calendar week.

C. Maximum Daily Effluent Limitation (MDEL)
If a daily discharge (or when applicable, the median determined by subsection B, above, for multiple sample data of a daily discharge) exceeds the MDEL for a given parameter, the Permittee will be considered out of compliance for that parameter for that 1 day only within the reporting period. For any 1 day during which no sample is taken, no compliance determination can be made for that day.

D. Instantaneous Minimum Effluent Limitations
If the analytical result of a single grab sample is lower than the instantaneous minimum effluent limitation for a parameter, the Permittee will be considered out of compliance for that parameter for that single sample. Non‐compliance for each sample will be considered separately (e.g., the results of two grab samples taken within a calendar day that both are lower than the instantaneous minimum effluent limitation would result in two instances of non‐compliance with the instantaneous minimum effluent limitation).

E. Instantaneous Maximum Effluent Limitations
If the analytical result of a single grab sample is higher than the instantaneous maximum effluent limitation for a parameter, the Permittee will be considered out of compliance for that parameter for that single sample. Non‐compliance for each sample will be considered separately (e.g., the results of two grab samples taken within a calendar day that both exceed the instantaneous maximum effluent limitation would result in two instances of non‐compliance with the instantaneous maximum effluent limitation).

F. Bacteriological Limitations

1. Median. The median is the central tendency concentration of the pollutant.

The data set shall be ranked from low to high, ranking the ND concentrations lowest, DNQ determinations next, followed by quantified values. The order of the individual ND and DNQ determinations is not important. The median value is determined based on the number of data points in the data set. If the data set has an odd number of data points, then the median is the middle value. If the data set has an even number of data points, the median is the average of The Town of Fort Jones WWTF
Order No. R1‐2014‐0029
WDID No. 1A81157OSIS
Limitations and Discharge Requirements 15
the two middle values, unless one or both points are ND or DNQ, in which case the median value shall be the lower of the two middle data points. DNQ is lower than a detected value, and ND is lower than DNQ.

2. Compliance with the 7‐day median will be determined as a rolling median during periods when sampling occurs more frequently than weekly. During periods when sampling is weekly, this requirement shall apply to each weekly sample.

II. FINDINGS
A. Legal Authorities. This Order serves as Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) for discharges to land issued pursuant to section 13263 of the California Water Code (Water Code).

B. Basin Plan. As required by Water Code section 13263(a), these WDRs are crafted to implement the Water Quality Control Plan for the North Coast Region (Basin Plan), and in so doing, the Regional Water Board has taken into consideration the beneficial uses to be protected, the water quality objectives (both numeric and narrative) reasonably required for that purpose, other (including previous) waste discharges, the need to prevent nuisance, and the provisions of Water Code section 13241. The Basin Plan contains implementation plans and policies for protecting waters of the basin. The Basin Plan implements State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) Resolution No. 88‐63, which established state policy that all waters, with certain exceptions, should be considered suitable or potentially suitable for municipal or domestic supply.

C. California Water Code. The California Water Code (Water Code) establishes the authority for the Regional Water Board to establish water quality objectives, impose discharge prohibitions, and prescribe waste discharge and reclamation requirements. Water Code section 13241 requires each regional board to “establish such water quality objectives in water quality control plans as in its judgment will ensure the reasonable protection of beneficial uses and the prevention of nuisance […].” The control of pollutants discharged is established through effluent limitations and other requirements in Waste Discharge Requirement permits. Water Code section 13243 provides that “A regional board, in a water quality control plan or in waste discharge requirements, may specify certain conditions or areas where the discharge of waste, or certain types of waste, will not be permitted. Water Code section 13260 et seq establishes regulations associated with the prescription of waste discharge requirements and Water Code Chapter 7 (section 13500 et seq) establishes regulations associated with the prescription of reclamation requirements.

It is the Regional Water Board’s intent that this Order shall ensure attainment of water quality standards, applicable water quality objectives, and protection of beneficial uses of receiving waters. This Order therefore requires the Permittee to comply with all prohibitions, effluent limitations, discharge specifications, receiving water limitations, standard provisions, and monitoring and reporting requirements. The Order further prohibits discharges from causing violations of water quality objectives or causing conditions to occur that create a condition of nuisance or water quality impairment in receiving waters as a result of the discharge.

D. California Code of Regulations (CCR). The discharge authorized herein and the treatment and storage facilities associated with the discharge are exempt from the requirements of title 27, CCR, section 20005 et seq. The exemption, pursuant to section 20090(b) of title 27, allows for the exemption of discharges of wastewater if;

1. The applicable Regional Board has issued WDRs;

2. The discharge is in compliance with the applicable water quality control plan (Basin Plan); and

3. The wastewater does not need to be managed as a hazardous waste.

E. Antidegradation Policy. The State Water Board established California’s antidegradation policy in State Water Board Resolution No. 68‐16. Resolution No. 68‐16 requires that existing quality of waters be maintained unless degradation is justified based on specific findings. The Regional Water Board’s Basin Plan implements, and incorporates by The Town of Fort Jones WWTF
Order No. R1‐2014‐0029
WDID No. 1A81157OSIS
Attachment C – Fact Sheet C‐4
reference, the State antidegradation policy. The permitted discharge is consistent with the provisions of State Water Board Resolution No. 68‐16, Statement of Policy with Respect to Maintaining High Quality of Waters in California. This project consists of the operation or minor alteration of an existing facility which involves minimum change in use beyond that previously existing.

The Permittee is in the process of developing a pretreatment and self‐monitoring program.

This program will require each commercial establishment to maintain and provide the Permittee with records of interceptor monitoring, maintenance and cleaning activities.

Attachment B of this Order requires ongoing groundwater monitoring for nitrogen and coliform to ensure that concentrations of pollutants will not adversely impact beneficial uses.

This Order is consistent with the maximum benefit to people of the State because: (i) it allows continued operation of an existing wastewater treatment system; and (ii) it requires monitoring of surface and groundwater impacts or potential impacts from disposal of treated wastewater.

F. Endangered Species Act. This Order does not authorize any act that results in the taking of a threatened or endangered species or any act that is now prohibited, or becomes prohibited in the future, under either the California Endangered Species Act (Fish and Game Code sections 2050 to 2097). The Permittee is responsible for meeting all requirements of the applicable Endangered Species Act.

G. Monitoring and Reporting. Water Code sections 13267 and 13383 authorize the Regional Water Board to require technical and monitoring reports. The Monitoring and Reporting Program establishes monitoring and reporting requirements to implement federal and State requirements. This Monitoring and Reporting Program is provided in Attachment B.

The Executive Officer of the Regional Water Board is delegated the authority to modify the Monitoring and Reporting Program, as determined appropriate to protect water quality. 14_0029_FortJones_WDR
