REVISION OF GENERAL WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS FOR SMALL
COMMERCIAL AND MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTAL SUBSURFACE SEWAGE DISPOSAL
FOR OJAl VALLEY SCHOOL, OJAl VALLEY SCHOOL-UPPER CAMPUS WASTEWATER
TREATMENT PLANT, 10820 REEVES ROAD, OJAI, CA (FILE NO. 04-055, ORDER NO. 01031, SERIES NO. 050, CI NO. 8728)
Dear Mr. Hall-Mounsey:
We have completed our review of your application for revision of Waste Discharge
Requirements (WDR) for wastewater to be generated from Ojai Valley School (Discharger),
located at 10820 Reeves Road, Ojai, CA.
The Ojai Valley School - Upper Campus consists of multiple buildings, which support both
residential and commuter teachers, support staff, families and students. The facility is currently
regulated under General WDR Order No. 01-031, Series No. 050 and Monitoring and Reporting
Program CI No. 8728 issued by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board
(Regional Board) on June 16, 2004. In order to meet the requirements of its Conditional Use
Permit (CUP 1813-8) and be in compliance with Regional Board Order No. 01-031, Ojai Valley
School - Upper Campus constructed a new wastewater treatment plant, which replaced five
now abandoned septic systems. The Ojai Valley School - Upper Campus wastewater treatment
plant (WWTP) services the field house, mobile home, Tower House Dormitory, Boney Bean
Dormitory, Bristol House Dormitory, girl's dormitory, classrooms, kitchen, offices, and
Headmaster's residence. Therefore, Ojai Valley School - Upper Campus applied for a revision
of its enrollment under General Permit Order No. 01-031.
The Ojai Valley School - Upper Campus WWTP has a maximum design capacity of 19,500
gallons per day (gpd). Based on the resident student and staff population, the Ojai Valley
School - Upper Campus WWTP discharges up to 11,000 gallons per day (gpd).
The Ojai Valley School - Upper Campus changed the wastewater treatment system from the
conventional septic system to an extended aeration wastewater treatment plant. To evaluate the
effectiveness of the WWTP and determine the impact of the discharge from Ojai Valley School Upper Campus WWTP to groundwater, effluent testing at the end of the pipe is proposed. The
effluent must meet the limits prescribed in Order 01-031 before being discharged to the disposal
area. Groundwater shall be collected and comply with the limits prescribed in the Order No. 01031.

Enclosed are your General Waste Discharge Requirements, consisting of Order No. 01-031,
Monitoring and Reporting Program CI No. 8728, Standard Provisions-Applicable to Waste
Discharge Requirements. Please note that the discharge limits in Attachment A (Lower Ojai
Valley Groundwater Basin - East of San Antonio--Senior Canyon Creek) and Attachment B of
Order No. 01-031 are applicable to your discharge if groundwater monitoring is required in the
future. Should changes to the septic disposal system be needed, revised engineering drawings
showing the change must be filed with the Regional Board a minimum of thirty days prior to the
change. The discharger must receive approval of such change.
The Monitoring and Reporting Program requires you to implement the monitoring program on
the effective date of coverage under this permit. All monitoring reports shall be sent to the
Regional Board, ATTN: lnformation Technolonv Unit. Please note that the Regional Board
Executive Officer may require you to develop and implement a groundwater-monitoring
program based on the results of the technical information pertaining to your septic disposal
system. When submitting monitoring or technical reports to the Regional Board per these
requirements, please include a reference to "Compliance File CI No. 8728", which will assure
that the reports are directed to the appropriate file and staff. Also, please do not combine other
reports with your monitoring reports. Submit each type of report as a separate document.
The Discharger shall comply with the Electronic Submittal of lnformation (ESI) requirements by
submitting all reports required under the MRP, including groundwater monitoring data,
discharge location data under Global ID WDRl00000396, and pdf monitoring reports to the
State Water Resources Control Board GeoTracker database, in addition to submitting hard
copies to the Regional Board office. Once the Discharger demonstrates mastery of electronic
submittal of reports to GeoTracker for the Site, it may request that the Regional Board waive
the requirement of submitting hard copies of reports (see June 20, 201 1 ESI letter).
To avoid paying future annual fees, please submit a written request for termination of your
enrollment under the general permit in a separate letter if your facility is connected to a sewer and
the permit is no longer needed. Be aware that the annual fee covers the fiscal year billing period
beginning July I and ending June 30, the following year. You will pay the full annual fee if your
request for termination is made after the beginning of the new fiscal year beginning July 1.
If you have any additional questions, please contact the Project Manager, Ms. Mercedes Merino
at (213) 620-6156, or the Unit Chief, Dr. Eric Wu at (213) 576-6683.
Sincerely,
Samuel Unger, P.E.

The majority of thk small cpmmerc'ial and inultifamily,s{w'age disposal systems in.,
the ILos Angeles Region do .not currently. have Waste Discharge Requirements,
nor do they have corresponding Monitoring and Reporting. Programs. Small,
c o ~ e r c i a land multifamily &wage disposal 'systems' (septic system$ . fm
. example) typically provide &Iy'
primary treatment' t o wastewater, before i t is
discharged to groundwater through a seepage .pit .or leachfield dispbsal system.
The iffluent from these systems is not monitored, 'and,3s a result, the efiuent
quality is generally not known. . ..

a. Objectives for ground waters outside of the major basins listed on this table and outlined in Figure 1-9 have not been specifically
risted. However, ground waters outside of the major basins are, in many cases, significant sources of water. Furthermore, ground
waters outside of the major basins are either potential or existing sources of water for downgradient basins and, a s such, objectives
in the downgradiint basins shall apply to these areas.
b.
Basins are numbered according to Bulletin 118-80 (Department o'f water Resources, 1980).
c.
Ground waters in the Pitas Point area (between the lower Ventura River and Rincon Point) are not considered to comprise a major
basin, and accordingly have not been designated a basin number by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) or
outlined on Figure 1-9.
d. The Santa Clara River Valley (4-4, Pleasant Valley (4-6), Arroyo Santa Rosa Valley (4-7) and Las 'Posas Valley (4-8) Ground Water
Basins have been combined and designated a s the Ventura Central Basin .(DWR, 1980).
e. The category for the Foothill Wells area in previous Basin Plan incorrectly groups ground water in the Foothill area with ground water
in the Sunland-Tujunga area. Accordingly, the new categories, Foothill area and Sunland-Tujunga area, replace the old Foothill Wells
area.
-
f.
All of the ground water in the Main San Gabriel Basin is covered by the objectives listed under Main San Gabriil Basin
Eastern
area and Western area. Walnut Creek, Big Dalton Wash, and Little Dalton Wash separate the Eastern area from the Western area
(see dashed line on Figure 2-17). Any ground water upgradient of these areas is subject to downgradient beneficial uses and
objectives, a s explained in Footnote a.
g.
The border between Regions 4 and 8 crosses the Upper Santa Ana Valley Ground Water Basin.
/
h. Ground water in the Conejo-T~rra~ e j a d Volcanic
a
Area occuk primarily in fractured voidnic. rocks in the westem Santa Monica
Mountains and Conejo Mountain areas. These areas have not been delineated on Figure 1-9.
i. With the exception of ground water in Malibu Valley (DWR Basin No; 4-22), ground waters aldng the southern slopes of the Santa
Monica Mountains are not considered to comprise a major basin and accordingly have not been designated a basin number by the
California Department of Water Resources (DWR)or ouffined on Figure 1-9.
,
j.

WATER.QUALITY MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
A. Wastewater Treatment System Effluent Monitoring
An effluent monitoring program shall be designed to evaluate the effectiveness of
the treatment system module including waste water treatment system and
disinfection. An effluent sampling station(s) shall be established at the wastewater
treatment end of pipe where representative samples of treated effluent can be
obtained prior to disposal to the disposal area.
After a year of end of pipe testing, the results shall be evaluated to determine
whether the frequency of.the groundwater monitoring can be mo.dified.
B. Groundwater Monitoring Program
A groundwater monitoring program was approved by the Regional Board in August
2004. The Discharger will continue to implement the groundwater monitoring
program. To better evaluate the impact of the discharge to groundwater, upgradient
groundwater samples must be collected at the same time as downgradient
groundwater samples are collected.
The frequency of the groundwater monitoring may be modified after a year where
the Discharger can prove that the wastewater is effectively treated using the new
wastewater treatment plant.
