25 Most Recent Enforcement Actions (Notices of Violation and Adopted Orders)

Supplemental Environmental Projects (SEPs) and Enhanced Compliance Actions (ECAs)

The 2017 SEP Policy defines an SEP as “an environmentally beneficial project that a person subject to an enforcement action voluntarily agrees to undertake in settlement of the action and to offset a portion of a civil penalty.”  SEPs typically enhance the beneficial uses of waters of the state, provide a benefit to the public at large, and at the time they are included in the resolution of an Administrative Civil Liability (ACL) action, are not otherwise required of the discharger.  SEPs are intended to address or mitigate environmental harm to affected waters.

The State Water Board’s Enforcement Policy defines ECAs as projects that enable a discharger to make capital or operational improvements beyond those required by law, and are separate from projects designed to merely bring a discharger into compliance.  ECAs are intended to protect beneficial uses from additional or future impacts, and must conform to all the requirements of an SEP, as described in the 2017 SEP Policy.

Dischargers that have been assessed an ACL (monetary penalty) by the Regional Water Board may satisfy up to 50 percent of the total liability by funding an eligible SEP or ECA.  For settlements of violations giving rise to mandatory minimum penalties (MMPs) pursuant to Water Code section 13385, subdivision (h) or (i), where the penalty amount equals fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) or less, the entire penalty amount may be directed to be expended on a SEP without prior approval from the Director of the  Office of Enforcement (OE), provided the SEP meets the requirements of this Policy.  Where MMPs total more than $15,000, $15,000 plus 50% of the remaining civil liability may be directed towards a SEP without prior approval from the Director of OE.

The portion of the liability to be applied towards a project is suspended, and dismissed when the discharger can demonstrate successful completion of the proposed project(s).  A discharger can either conduct the SEP or ECA directly, or contract with a third party to complete the project.

In compliance with Public Resources Code Division 34, Part 3, section 71118, subdivision (b), the 2017 SEP Policy includes provisions intended to benefit disadvantaged communities (DACs), as well as environmental justice (EJ) communities,  and communities with financial hardship.

The North Coast Regional Water Board and its staff have affirmed a continuing commitment to coordinate enforcement and compliance assistance in disadvantaged communities.  Enforcement staff regularly include compliance assistance in settlement considerations for enforcement on disadvantaged communities.  In August 2016, North Coast Regional Water Board staff presented to the Board a report identifying the DACs and communities with financial hardship throughout the North Coast Region .  Community population, income, employment, and other statistics vary over time; the August 2016 staff report provides information and links to assist in finding currently available community statistics.

  5/30/2018	Clay K. Tucker, et al	CAO	Unauthorized or potential   unauthorized discharges of waste   earthen material/sediment to   waters of the state associated   with a shared use road.	Ongoing

  
  

  Comments:

  On May 30, 2018, the EO issued CAO R1-2018-0036 to Clay K. Tucker, Erika Tucker, Independence Corporate Offices Inc. (ICO), Rincon Land Holdings LLC (Rincon), Matthew Telles, Wanderlust Healing Retreat LLC, David K. Jensen, Mario Rodriguez, Michael Linarte, Vada Trott, Horacio Cufre-Urrutia, Thunderbird Land Management LLC, John R. Kimball, and Edna Kimball for constructing and/or allowing construction of private shared use roads without adequate stream crossings and erosion control or sediment containment features.

  It is likely that runoff from these roads will transport and deliver sediment to Frietas Gulch, Mule Gulch and Indian Creek and their tributaries, in the Middle Fork Trinity River watershed in eastern Trinity County. The Order requires the Dischargers to develop and implement a plan to correct all features associated with the shared access road system that are causing or resulting in discharges of earthen material/sediment into surface waters, including improving, upgrading, and/or decommissioning road segments and watercourse crossings.

  This CAO stemmed from observations made by Regional and State Water Board staff while participating in multi-agency watershed enforcement team (WET) inspections associated with the cannabis program, during which staff inspected approximately ten private properties throughout the Indian Creek watershed. Where applicable, staff are also working with individual property owners either through compliance assistance or progressive enforcement to address water quality violations/threatened violations observed/documented in their respective properties, apart from the shared use roads. This matter is ongoing.

  Comments: On April 9, 2018, the EO issued Cleanup and Abatement Order No. R1-2018-0027 to Thomas and Tina Harwood for unauthorized discharges of waste to waters of the state from an illegally constructed, unlined pond. The dischargers used an unlicensed contractor to build the pond, after the start of the rainy season, without applicable permits for land clearing, grading, and instream work. In inspecting the pond, staff observed that the interior and exterior slopes of the unlined, earthen pond had slope failures resulting in actual and threatened sediment discharges to surface waters. In reflection of the imminent threat of catastrophic failure, staff recommended, and the EO concurred, that it was appropriate to issue a final CAO directly, rather than first issuing a draft CAO. The CAO requires that the dischargers take immediate action to prevent pond failure and/or minimize the potential for adverse impacts to receiving waters resulting from pond failure. The CAO further directs the dischargers to submit plans and timelines to correct sources of active and threatened discharges of waste to receiving waters throughout the property. The dischargers have taken immediate steps as directed to prevent pond failure and, to date, the pond has not failed. This matter is ongoing.

  Comments: On December 11, 2017, the Nonpoint Source and Surface Water Protection Division Chief issued an NOV to Humboldt Redwood Company, LLC for discharging earthen material to watercourses from failing culverted watercourse crossings on a timber harvest plan located in the Elk River watershed.

Regional Water Board staff believe that the waste discharge occurred due to the steepness and lack of compaction of the two fill slopes, associated with inadequate construction techniques, and therefore, violates waste discharge prohibitions in the Basin Plan and in Order No. R1-2016-0004, Waste Discharge Requirements for Nonpoint Source Discharges and Other Controllable Water Quality Factors Related to Timber Harvesting and Associated Activities Conducted by Humboldt Redwood Company, LLC in the Upper Elk River Watershed Humboldt County.

  Comments:On July 22, 2016, the AEO issued an ACL Complaint No. R1-2016-0033 to Olive Franklin, Trustee of the Charles A. Franklin & Julia F. Franklin Trust, and Daniel Franklin in the amount of $381,947 for an unauthorized discharge to waters of the state. A fuel bladder containing water burst, and immediately released approximately 50,000 gallons or more of water onto native soil. The water eroded and transported earthen material, including sediment, soil, and rocks into a nearby watercourse and eroded additional material from the stream channel as it traveled approximately 2,000 feet down to the Upper Main Eel River. This matter is presently scheduled for a hearing before the Board at its December meeting.

  Comments:On August 4, 2016, the EO issued CAO & 13267 Order No. R1-2016-0031 to Douglas & Heidi Cole for unauthorized discharges to waters of the state. The Dischargers maintain a diversion ditch from Stanshaw Creek to Irving Creek in the Klamath River watershed. The Dischargers operate the ditch to provide water to the Marble Mountain Ranch (Ranch), for domestic uses, as well as to generate electricity, and to fill and maintain a small pond for recreational use and potentially fire protection. The upper segment of the ditch carries water from Stanshaw Creek to the Marble Mountain Ranch. Tailwater from the Pelton wheel used for power generation flows through the property to the pond. Overflows from the pond flow to a discharge point where they enter Irving Creek. Water in the upper segment of the ditch periodically overtops or breaches portions of its outboard containment berm, eroding slopes below the ditch discharging or threatening discharges of sediment into Stanshaw Creek. Outflows to Irving Creek erode and transport sediment from the discharge point into Irving Creek. The CAO directs the Discharger to submit technical information and perform cleanup and abatement actions with various compliance dates and at the conclusion of restoration work, when the site is stable and the monitoring program has been filled, submit a Summary report by January 1, 2021 or the year that meets the approved success criteria. The Discharger has petitioned the CAO to the State Water Board. This matter is ongoing

  Comments: On December 3, 2015, the Planning, Stewardship, and Compliance Assurance Division Chief issued an NOV to Marble Mountain Ranch for unauthorized discharges of waste in waters of the state. This NOV is part of a coordinated enforcement effort with the State Water Resources Control Board’s Division of Water Rights (Water Rights) to direct the discharger to address public trust and water quality impacts associated with a water diversion ditch that originates on Stanshaw Creek and discharges to Irving Creek, both tributaries to the Klamath River. The diversion has been in place since the 1800s, and currently provides water for domestic uses and power generation on the Marble Mountain Dude Ranch. On an inspection with Water Rights staff in early 2015, Regional Water Board staff noted numerous locations along the ditch where it has failed in the past, may fail in the future, or where it is or may be causing active erosion/sediment delivery at this time. These features represent active or potential violations of the Basin Plan, the Water Code, and/or the Clean Water Act. Water Rights and Regional Water Board staff have sent to the discharger and the discharger’s counsel a package comprised of inspection reports prepared by respective agencies, the Regional Water Board’s NOV, and a draft CAO under a cover transmittal letter directing a response within 30 days (by January 2, 2016) discussing the discharger’s plan to address violations. Counsel for the discharger has requested, and been granted, an extension to January 19, 2016 to respond.
