CA SB332

Declares that discharging treated wastewater from ocean outfalls is waste and unreasonable use of water under California Constitution, except in compliance with the bill's provisions.

Requires wastewater treatment facilities discharging through ocean outfalls and affiliated water suppliers to reduce annual discharge by at least 50% by January 1, 2030, and by at least 95% by January 1, 2040, compared to average dry weather discharge baseline from 2010-2020.

Mandates NPDES permit holders and affiliated water suppliers submit a compliance plan by July 1, 2025, with updates by January 1, 2030, and every 5 years thereafter, detailing land acquisition, facilities, costs, financing, and completion schedules.

Imposes civil penalties of $2,000 per acre-foot of water discharged above required reduction levels for missing deadlines, and up to $10,000 for failing to submit required plans or reports.

Makes permit holders and water suppliers that fail to timely submit reports ineligible for state loans or grants until delinquent reports are submitted.
