6 SWRCB Desal and Brine Discharge Policy  SWRCB Staff propose: –Policy similar to OTC -93% entrainment reduction – Narrative standard within 10% of “natural” –Allow dilution within the Zone of Initial Dilution (ZID) –Prohibit intake from ‘impaired waters” MSSC January 26, 2012

7 SWRCB Desal and Brine Discharge Policy  Studies Planned to Inform Policy Decision  Brine Toxicity Study (Granite Canyon Labs)  Brine Disposal Expert Review Panel  Intake Impacts and Mitigation Expert Review Panel (Moss Landing Marine labs)  Enclosed Bays and Estuaries Plan MSSC January 26, 2012
