1. California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Monterey Park, CA (United States)

In December 1994, the staff of the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board), assisted by its Technical Review Committee (TRC), developed an Interim Site Assessment and Cleanup Guidebook to serve the regulated community in the Region. The regulated community consist of businesses, industries, wastewater treatment plant operators, agriculture and mining industries, stormwater and urban runoff management agencies, etc. The TRC and Regional Board staff were challenged with the task of identifying and recommending ways to reduce the cost incurred by businesses and public agencies as they strive to meet clean water laws--without compromising water quality and public health. During several public workshops, complaints were heard regarding soil and groundwater work plans. In response to the complaints, action was taken to develop a site assessment and cleanup guidebook that provides clear and consistent work plan procedures.
