(2)The spent brine solutions are transferred for dewatering via a closed piping system to lined surface impoundments regulated by the California regional water quality control boards.
(3)The spent brine solutions are treated, prior to transfer to lined surface impoundments, with a technology that renders the spent brine solutions nonhazardous for all contaminants except selenium.
(4)Mitigation measures, which shall be approved by the Department of Fish and Wildlife, are used to prevent birds from coming into contact with spent brine solutions in lined surface impoundments containing hazardous levels of selenium.
(b)If spent brine solution that is exempt pursuant to subdivision
(a)is relocated to an elevated location inside a lined surface impoundment for further dewatering, the waste from that spent brine solution shall be removed from the lined surface impoundment while it still contains sufficient moisture to prevent wind dispersion.
