Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct all conditions

impacts to public health,fish kills, and other factors. DWR may pursue enforcement action
for these and/or any additional violations of the WQCS00376 collection system permit. If
violations are of a continuing nature, not related to operation,and/or maintenance issues,
