In developing uniform water recycling criteria for surface water augmentation, the department shall consider all of the following:
- (a) The final report from the National Water Research Institute Independent Advisory Panel for the City of San Diego Indirect Potable Reuse/Reservoir Augmentation (IPR/RA) Demonstration Project.
- (b) Monitoring results of research and studies regarding surface water augmentation.
- (c) Results of demonstration studies conducted for purposes of approval of projects using surface water augmentation.
- (d) Epidemiological studies and risk assessments associated with projects using surface water augmentation.
- (e) Applicability of the advanced treatment technologies required for recycled water projects, including, but not limited to, indirect potable reuse for groundwater recharge projects.
- (f) Water quality, limnology, and health risk assessments associated with existing potable water supplies subject to discharges from municipal wastewater, stormwater, and agricultural runoff.
- (g) Recommendations of the State of California Constituents of Emerging Concern Recycled Water Policy Science Advisory Panel.
- (h) State funded research pursuant to Section 79144 and subdivision (b) of Section 79145.
- (i) Research and recommendations from the United States Environmental Protection Agency Guidelines for Water Reuse.
- (j) The National Research Council of the National Academies’ report titled “Water Reuse: Potential for Expanding the Nation’s Water Supply Through Reuse of Municipal Wastewater.”
- (k) Other relevant research and studies regarding indirect potable reuse of recycled water.
