CA 95823098 <br /> 27 August 1987 <br /> AUG 3 1 1987 <br /> ENVIROMENTAL HEALTH <br /> PERMIT/SERVICES <br /> Mr. Nate Esformes <br /> Triple E Produce Co. <br /> P. 0. Box 239 <br /> Tracy, CA 95378 <br /> TRIPLE E PRODUCE CO. , TRACY, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> Your facility is discharging waste without a permit and is in violation of <br /> Section 13260 of the California Water Code which requires that any person <br /> discharging waste that could affect the quality of the waters of the State shall <br /> file with the Regional Board a Report of Waste Discharge (RWD) . Furthermore, <br /> our investigation has concluded that your discharge of chlorinated wash water <br /> has polluted the ground water and threatens to contaminate downgradient domestic <br /> water supplies. <br /> We request that you cease discharge of contaminated wastewater as soon as <br /> possible and submit to us your short-term plan for treatment or disposal of this <br /> wash water by 16 September. Additionally, we request that you submit a complete <br /> RWD to us by 26 October. The RWD should include a characterization of your <br /> waste( s ) and a long-term disposal/treatment plan that will meet all the perti- <br /> nent requirements. <br /> Furthermore; pursuant to Section 13267 of the Water Code, you are requested to <br /> submit a technical report to the Regional Board by 26 October that will serve as <br /> a work plan to investigate and correct the ground water contamination from <br /> your facility. The report should include but not necessarily be limited to the <br /> following elements: <br /> 1. A domestic well survey and a monitoring plan that will detect the levels <br /> of contamination in domestic wells down-gradient of your facility. <br /> 2. Characterization of the wastewater and waste sludge pit to determine if it <br /> will be subject to the Toxic Pit Cleanup Act ( TPCA) of 1984. We are <br /> primarily concerned that the sludge in the pit may contain pesticide <br /> residues . The characterization should also include analyses for volatile <br /> organics , heavy metals, and hydrocarbon related compounds, as runoff from <br /> the unloading area also drains into the pit. <br />
