In order to renew our Permit to Operate we are going to have to comply with California Water Quality Control Board requirements.
First, work with the California Water Quality Control Board to minimize any fines imposed and it sure looks like we may be fined. However, it does appear that they are willing to work with us but we are probably going to be required to put together a plan to accomplish four things: 1.) Provide a short-term solution to acquire land necessary to handle our treated water and by short term I mean immediate leasing of land, if possible. 2.) Comply with requirements of the Water Quality Control Board to get our new permit and this probably means agreeing to a compliance schedule to upgrade our plant to tertiary treatment. 3.) Work on the financial impacts this will have and any possible mitigation solutions for the citizens of Galt. 4.) Find out how we got into this situation so it does not happen again.
