A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF LODI EXPRESSING ITS SUPPORT OF
ASSEMBLY BILL 2351 (CANCIAMILLA)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------
WHEREAS, it is the responsibility of the California State Regional Water Quality
Control Board to insure Water Code provisions are met; and
WHEREAS, it is the responsibility of local governments, such as the City of Lodi,
to manage, treat, and dispose of sewage to insure those provisions are met; and
WHEREAS, effluent limitations in many permits cannot be met 100% of the time
and Regional Board officials acknowledge that many violations for which penalties are
imposed have little or no water quality impact; and
WHEREAS, Assembly Bill 2351 (Canciamilla) restores some discretion to the
State Regional Water Quality Control Board in imposing mandatory minimum penalties
for violations caused by unavoidable circumstances.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Lodi City Council, that it strongly
supports Assembly Bill 2351 (Canciamilla) as it modifies unfair or overly burdensome
mandatory penalties while maintaining firm and consistent enforcement of water quality
laws.
