Memorandum of UnderstandingBetween the
California Water Quality Control BoardLahontan Region
and theCity of Adelanto
This Memorandum of Understanding is entered into by and between the
California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Lahontan Region
(hereinafter Board), and the City of Adelanto (hereinafter City).
Its purpose is to expedite the overall review process for proposed
developments and to provide a clear operating policy between the
Board and the City on the implementation of the Board’s guidelines
for wastewater disposal from land developments.
Section 13260 of the California Water Code requires any person
discharging waste or proposing to discharge waste that may affect
waters of the State, except to a community sewer system, to file a
report of waste discharge with the regional board of that region.
Implementation of this code section has included regulation of
individual waste systems wherever warranted.
In 1973 and again in 1974, the Board adopted guidelines to (1)
establish the conditions under which waivers of the filing
requirement would be in the public interest (pursuant to California
Water Code Section 23269); (2) establish minimum criteria for the
use of individual systems; and (3) prevent pollution or nuisance
caused by the discharges from leaching or percolation systems.
Meworandum of UndersdingPage 2
On January 14, 1988, the Regional Board adopted revisions to the
‘Guidelines for Waste Disposal From Land Developments.” In
conjunction with these revisions, the Regional Board also adopted
the “Regional Board Guidelines for Implementation of Criteria for
Individual Waste Disposal Systems.” These implementation guidelines
list general and specific provisions in considering exemptions to
the maximum density criteria (2 EDUs per acre) for individual waste
disposal systems in both new and existing land developments.
This requirement also applies to domestic wastewater discharges from
new commercial and industrial development with wastewater discharge
volumes exceeding two EDU per acre density (500 gal/day/acre based
on 250 gal/day/EDU). On June 16, 1988, the State Water Resources
Control Board approved the revisions. For purposes of this
Memorandum of Understanding gross acreage is that are which
encompasses the entire net lot area plus any underlying fee title
within the adjacent right-of—ways, if any.
Inasmuch as the City has incorporated into its review criteria the
“Minimum Criteria for Subsurface Discharge of Sewage” contained in
the Board’s guidelines, and has consistently applied these criteria
in its review of proposed developments, it is not against the public
interest for the Board to reduce its oversight work by eliminating
redundant review of proposed projects.
It is agreed that:
I. The City is authorized to issue construction permits for
projects that utilize individual subsurface disposal systems
Memorandum of Unders•ndingPage 3
without Regional Board approval under the following conditions:
b. T\ll of the Following:
1. The on-site soil characteristics comply with the
established “Minimum Criteria for Individual Waste
Disposal Systems as adopted by Resolution 6—88—15; and
2. The discharge is composed of domestic wastewater only;
and
B. One of the Following:
1. The development consists of single—family residences or
multiple—family residences, the density does not exceed
two equivalent dwelling units (EDU) per acre (500
gallons/acre/day wastewater flow), or
2. The development consists only of a single—family home
on an individual lot which has a minimum net area of
15,000 square feet; or
3. The development is non—residential or of mixed
occupancy and the wastewater discharge does not exceed
500 gallons/acre/day as determined using Table 1—2 and
1—3 in the Uniform Plumbing Code and occupant loads as
determined by Table 33A in the Uniform Building Code; or
4. The project is in a class that has been designated
exempt from regional Board review in writing under
signature of the regional Board Executive Officer; or
5. The project/development has been granted an exemption
by the Board and complies with the City’s standards for
use of septic tank wastewater disposal systems.

AMENDED SEPTIC SYSTEM MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
It has come to our attention that an error was made in the original wordingof the above-referenced Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between theRegional Board and the City of Adelanto. Item II.

Pursuant to item XI of theMOU, we propose that this change be made with the mutual agreement of bothparties. If you concur, please substitute the enclosed page containing thiscorrection with the corresponding page in your copy of the agreement.

It has come to our attention that an error was made in the original wording
of the above-referenced Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between theRegional Board and the City of Adelanto. Item II. G. of the MOU should have
had the word “before” rather than “after” so that the MOU would accuratelyreflect the intentions of the Regional Board. Pursuant to item XI of theMOU, we propose that this change be made with the mutual agreement of bothparties. If you concur, please substitute the enclosed page containing this
correction with the corresponding page in your copy of the agreement.
Also, please have one of the enclosed forms signed and returned to thisoffice within 60 days of receipt. We thank you for your prompt attention to
this matter. If you have any questions or comments, please contact David
Himebaugh or Dr. Ranjit Gill.
Sincerely,
