Please read this letter carefully. <br /> On 28 February 2013, Golden Gate Nut Company/California Nuggets, Inc. (GGNC/CNI) submitted a <br /> Report of Waste Discharge (RWD) Addendum for its San Joaquin County food processing facility <br /> pursuant to Cleanup and Abatement Order(CAO) R5-2007-0715. Based on review of your <br /> submittal, we determined that the RWD Addendum was incomplete. On 19 August 2013, the Central <br /> Valley Water Board issued an Order for Technical Reports pursuant to Water Code section 13267 that <br /> required GGNC/CNI to submit certain information by 15 September 2013. <br /> On 16 September 2013, GGNC/CNI submitted a partial response to the Order for Technical Reports <br /> and requested a 30-day extension of time to submit the information that was not provided. This <br /> Revised Order for Technical Reports extends the due date for the previously-required information and <br /> adds certain new information requirements based on GGNC/CNI's 16 September letter. <br /> Revised Request for Additional Information <br /> Water Code section 13267 states, in relevant part: <br /> ... the regional board may require that any person who has discharged, discharges, or is <br /> suspected of having discharged or discharging, or who proposes to discharge waste <br /> within its region ... shall furnish, under penalty of perjury, technical or monitoring program <br /> reports which the regional board requires. The burden, including costs, of these reports <br /> shall bear a reasonable relationship to the need for the report and the benefits to be <br /> obtained from the reports. In requiring those reports, the regional board shall provide the <br /> person with a written explanation with regard to the need for the reports, and shall <br /> identify the evidence that supports requiring that person to provide the reports. <br /> Evidence in the Board's files indicates that Steve Gikas and Family currently owns and operates <br /> the GGNC/CNI facility in San Joaquin County. The facility operations pose a threat to the quality <br /> of waters of the state, and Board staff does not have sufficient information to write Waste <br /> KARL E.
