2020 COMPLIANCE UPDATE
The Regional Water Reuse System’s Laguna Treatment Plant cleans wastewater through an intensive treatment process, resulting in a high quality, tertiary-treated recycled water. Through the treatment process, the solids are separated out and are treated to create class B biosolids which can be beneficially reused. This process creates biogas that is used to generate electricity which offsets the energy demand of the Laguna Treatment Plant. In order to minimize the impacts of our operations on the natural environment, the Laguna Treatment Plant implements a broad range of compliance programs which supports the Department operations and promotes environmental stewardship. Staff will provide an overview of applicable regulations, highlight permit requirements, and summarize compliance during 2020. The Board may discuss this item and give direction to staff.
