A RESOLUTION ADDRESSING COMMENTS TO THE
REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD #2
REGARDING THE TENTATIVE POLICY STATEmeNT
WHICH IS THE SUBJECT OF A HEARING THURS-
DAY, MAY 26, 1966 BEFORE SAID BOARD.
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of South San Francisco that:
1. The followin~ comments are respectfully
addressed to the Regional Water Quality Control
Board #2 re~ardin~ the tentative policy statement,
which is set for hearin~ on Thursday May 26, 1966.
Disinfection at all times for all dis-
chargers is contrary to the exlstin~
practice of the Water Quality Control
Board which has always taken into account
the particular conditions surroundin~
each discharger and has considered spec-
ifically the effect of that effluent upon
the recelvin~ waters.
The Water Quality Board has already set
standards for disinfection of discharce
from the South San Francisco-San Bruno
Sewace Treatment plant, based upon per-
formance and need, and to materially
alter these standards without clearly
showin~ the necessity, as indicated by
tests, would be a breach of good faith·
Dependin~ upon the quality of the effluent,
dilution, and the state of the receivln~
waters, disinfection in many instances
would serve no beneficial purpose.
De
Funds and effort which should properly
be spent for improvin~ the overall quality
of discharged wastes may be diverted to
disinfection alone as a substitute.
Some outfalls are located where there is
little or no possibility for water contact
sports now or in the foreseeable future.
That the City Mana~_er be and he is hereby
authorized to represent the City of South San Francisco
at said hearing.
