Permission for this use is based in part, on the capability of the wastewater treatment and reclamation plant to meet the requirements of Title 22, Chapter 3 of the California Administrative Code. The Title 22 regulations were promulgated by the State Department of Health Service for the purpose of ensuring positive health protection and to specify the degree of treatment required depending on the intended use of the reclaimed water. The RWQCB in association with the Department of Health establishes discharge requirements to ensure the preservation of beneficial uses of receiving water and the protection of public health. In accordance with waste discharge requirements for water reclamation projects, the RWQCB requires that Rules and Regulations for facilities using reclaimed water be established. u Acknowledgement J The format and much of the contents of these Rules and Regulations were derived from the Rules and Regulations For Reclaimed Water Service of the Vista Irrigation District and Buena Sanitation District, Vista, California. li i 0 SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION C?
