Staff Report -9— <br /> Waiver <br /> 9_Waiver of WDRs for Small Food Processors <br /> Recommendation <br /> Staff recommend that the Board adopt the proposed Waiver for Small Food Processors. This <br /> waiver is necessary at this time to regulate many of the small food processors within the region, and <br /> the many new wineries which are starting up within the region. A number of entities have <br /> submitted comments agreeing with the premise of the waiver, including the annual monitoring <br /> report and one-time filing fee. The waiver has been revised to include a number of <br /> recommendations by the industry. Staff recognize that the industry is investigating the water <br /> quality impacts of food processing wastes discharged to land, and respond that once new data is <br /> developed,the Board may wish to consider revising this waiver or may wish to regulate the industry <br /> in a different manner. <br /> WSW:20June 03 <br />
