The early warning program shall include, at a minimum, the following: (1) Online monitoring instrumentation that measures indicator compound(s) or surrogate parameter(s) and that indicates an increase in chemical contamination that may adversely impact the operations of the DPR project treatment or cause contamination of the advanced treated water;(2) A process for notification by the industrial pretreatment and pollutant source control program(s) to the DiPRRA of any discharge that can potentially result in the release of contaminants above limits established pursuant to subsection (a)(3)(A);(3) Tracking the results of local county public health departments' disease surveillance programs and community raw wastewater surveillance monitoring programs to identify whether and when community outbreaks of disease occur; and(4) Other early warning measures required by the State Board, which are necessary to protect the operations of the DPR project treatment or prevent contamination of the advanced treated water, based on a review of the DPR project engineering report submitted pursuant to section 64669.75 and on the availability of such measures.(d) A DiPRRA shall form and maintain a source control committee that includes representatives from each partner agency that supplies municipal wastewater to the DPR project or that owns and/or operates a water treatment plant that provides treatment pursuant to this Article, as well as representatives from key industrial users and others that discharge to the wastewater collection system chemicals that may pose a risk to public health.Cal.
