Regulating Construction Dewatering
• Order No. R9-2007-0034 General Waste Discharge Requirements for Temporary Groundwater Extraction and Similar Waste Discharges to San Diego Bay and Storm Drains or Other Conveyance Systems Tributary Thereto
• Applies to the surrounding areas of San Diego Bay
Regulating Construction Dewatering
Eligibility for discharges:
• No. R9-2007-0034 –Any flow (rate or volume) of extracted

Regulating Construction Dewatering
Alternate methods of discharge:• Discharge to City sewer system–Apply to City of San Diego MWWD under
the Industrial Wastewater Program– Requirements less stringent than RWQCB–However, may be restricted due to flow
rate, time of day.
Regulating Construction Dewatering
Alternate methods of discharge: (cont.)
• Landscape– Based on landscape requirements
• Dust control–Only during construction–Not from remediation project

Regulating Construction Dewatering
Alternate methods of discharge: (cont.)
• Batch discharge to City sewer–Once every 6 months
• Infiltration galleries– Separate permit (WDR)
Other Permits
• Small Linear Underground/Overhead Construction Projects
• Sanitary Sewer (MWWD or local jurisdiction)
• Utility Vaults (No. R9-2006-0008)• Hydrostatic/Potable Water (R9-2002-
