<br />Sequoia Ecological Consulting, Inc. <br />CalVTP Project-Specific Analysis and Addendum <br />Augustin Bernal Community Park Fuel Reduction <br />November 2025 <br />A-45 <br /> <br /> <br />STANDARD PROJECT REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE? <br />(Y/N) TIMING IMPLEMENTING <br />ENTITY <br />VERIFYING/ <br />MONITORING <br />ENTITY <br />Project proponents must also conduct proposed vegetation treatments in <br />conformance with appropriate RWQCB timber, vegetation, and land disturbance- <br />related Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) and/or related Conditional <br />Waivers of Waste Discharge Requirements (Waivers) and appropriate Basin Plan <br />Prohibitions. Where these regulatory requirements differ, the most restrictive <br />would apply. If applicable, this includes compliance with the conditions of <br />general WDRs and WDR waivers for timber or silviculture activities where these <br />waivers are designed to apply to non-commercial fuel reduction and forest health <br />projects. In general, WDRs and Waivers of WDRs for fuel reduction and forest <br />health activities require that wastes, including but not limited to petroleum <br />products, soil, silt, sand, clay, rock, felled trees, slash, sawdust, bark, ash, and <br />pesticides must not be discharged to surface waters or placed where it may be <br />carried into surface waters; and that Water Board staff must be allowed <br />reasonable access to the property in order to determine compliance with the <br />waiver conditions. The specifications for each WDR and Waiver vary by region. <br />Regions 2 (San Francisco Bay), 4 (Los Angeles), 8 (Santa Ana), and 7 (Colorado <br />River) are highly urban or minimally forested and do not offer WDRs or Waivers <br />for fuel reduction or vegetation management activities. The current applicable <br />WDRs and Waivers for timber and vegetation management activities are included <br />in Appendix HYD-1. This SPR applies to all treatment activities and treatment <br />types, including treatment maintenance. <br />Project-Specific Measures <br />Vegetation treatment activities may result in discharges to waters of the state; <br />therefore, compliance with Water Code sections 13260(a)(1) and 13264 are <br />required. The project proponent would use the State Water Board’s Vegetation <br />Treatment General Order, which provides a mechanism for Water Code <br />compliance for projects that prepare a PSA/Addendum. The project would be <br />automatically enrolled (through implementation of SPR AD-7) in the State Water <br />Board’s Vegetation Treatment General Order. The project’s automatic enrollment <br />satisfies the requirements of SPR HYD-1.
