Description
In February 2009, the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) adopted Resolution No. 2009-0011, which established a statewide Recycled Water Policy. The Recycled Water Policy encourages increased use of recycled water and local stormwater, together with enhanced water conservation. These supplies are drought-proof, reliable, safe, and sustainable over the long-term. Recognizing that some groundwater basins contain concentrations of salts and nutrients (S/Ns) that exceed or threaten to exceed water quality objectives (WQOs) established in the applicable Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Water Quality Control Plans (Basin Plans) and that recycled water can contribute S/N loading to groundwater, the Recycled Water Policy requires local water and wastewater entities, together with local S/N contributing stakeholders to develop a Salt and Nutrient Management Plan (SNMP) for each groundwater basin in California. The goal of the SNMP is to provide the rationale for streamlined permitting of new recycled water projects, while managing S/Ns from all sources on a basin-wide or watershed-wide basis in a manner that ensures attainment of WQOs for protection of beneficial uses" -- Executive summary.
