MEMORANDUM
To: Bethany Georgoulias, Engineer
DEMLR Stormwater Program
From: Jessica blit a t PE,rS Supp
Chief
OWR Public Water Supply Section
Subject: Draft General Permit NCG14 for Ready -Mix Concrete Plants
The Public Water Supply Section has reviewed the referenced draft General Permit for Ready -Mix
Concrete Plants. We have no comment of the draft and concur with the provisions for dischargers to
Water Supply Waters. It is our understanding that this General Permit covers activities which are not
expected to have a major ongoing impact to water supply waters- At the time that DEMLR is reviewing
submittals for applicability under the General Permit, if there are special concerns presented by new or
existing ready -mix concrete dischargers near public water supply intakes, DEMLR and DWR should
coordinate on appropriate alterative permitting actions. In addition, if a certificate of coverage for
General Permit NCG14 would be issued within the critical area of any Water Supply Watershed [i.e., WS
Critical Areas (CA)], DEMLR has agreed it will advise the Public Water Supply Section so the Section may
alert the public water system with sufficient time prior to permit issuance to provide comments to
DEMLR if the system believes that issuance of the General Permit could have significant major impact on
the drinking water intake.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
