Weber Avenue, Third Floor Stockton, CA 95202-2708 PROPOSED CHOCOHOLICS FACILITY, CLEMENTS, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY. Staff are in receipt of a recent Report of Waste Discharge(RWM) for the proposed Chocoholics facility in Clements and will review this RWD for completeness within the next few weeks. We understand that the applicant proposes to discharge food processing wastewater to a septic tank, and cooling vvMerto an undisclosed location. Food processing wastewater typically contains high concentrations of BOD and TDS, and it is unknown at this time whether the proposed discharge of Chocoholic wastewater directly to a septic tank, without any treatment, will be protective of water quality. It is anticipated that staff will need to prepare WDRs for both the food processing wastewater and cooling water discharge. Before we can do so, the applicant will need to clearly show that the proposed disposal methods will not cause any degradation of the underlying groundwater. Staffs review of the RWD will focus on this major issue. As discussed, we agree that the County can move forward with its permitting process, contingent upon the fact that the applicant(Mr. Schenone, Jr.) responds to any Regional Board requests for additional information in a timely manner and that he comply with any WDRs issued by the Regional Board. If you have any questions, please contact Tim O'Brien at (916) 255-3116 or me at (916) 255-3135.
