CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD <br /> CENTRAL VALLEY REGION <br /> ORDER NO. 99-103 <br /> WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS <br /> FOR <br /> SEBASTIANI VINEYARDS, INC. <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region, (hereafter Board) <br /> finds that: <br /> 1. Sebastiani Vineyards, Inc. (hereafter Discharger), submitted a Report of Waste Discharge, dated <br /> 28 May 1998 for installation of a new winery and wastewater disposal system needed because <br /> of increases in wine production. <br /> 2. Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) Order No. 94-055, adopted by the Board on <br /> 25 February 1994, prescribes requirements for the discharge of cooling water, wash water, and <br /> a small amount of treated groundwater to shallow checks for evaporation and percolation. <br /> These WDRs are inadequate for regulating discharges from the expanded operations. <br /> 3. Sebastiani Vineyards consists of two facilities: Turner Road Vintners East (TRV East) and <br /> Turner Road Vintners West (TRV West). TRV East was formerly known as the Vendange <br /> Wine Cellars; TRV West was known as the Nathanson Creek Wine Cellars. <br /> 4. The TRV East and TRV West facilities are in Section 1, T3N, RSE, MDB&M. TRV East, the <br /> main winery facility (Assessor's Parcel No. 025-120-26), is on a 24-acre parcel, approximately <br /> 1 mile east of Interstate 5 at 4614 West Turner Road, near Lodi in San Joaquin County. The <br /> TRV West facility (Assessor's Parcel No. 025-120-01) is on a 63 acre parcel, at 5852 West <br /> Turner Road, approximately 2/3 mile west of the TRV East facility. The locations of these <br /> facilities are shown on Attachment A, which is attached hereto and is part of this Order by <br /> reference. <br /> l <br /> 5. Land use in the area of the TRV East and TRV West facilities is for viticulture and mixed <br /> farming. The TRV East facility is bounded on the west by railroad tracks. <br /> 6. The expansion of operations at TRV East required that a new winery and wastewater disposal <br /> system be constructed at TRV West. Expansion began in 1998 and is estimated to continue <br /> through the next five years. Upon completion, all receiving, crushing, and pressing of grapes <br /> will be conducted at the TRV West facility, as shown on Attachment B, attached hereto and <br /> part of this Order by reference. Other activities, including fermentation and processing into <br /> finished wines, bulk transfer of grape juice and finished wines, bottling, and distribution, will <br /> be conducted at TRV East, as shown on Attachment C, attached hereto and part of this Order by <br /> reference. <br />
