Furry Road Lodi, CA 95240 CALIFORNIA WATER CODE SECTION 13267 ORDER FOR TECHNICAL REPORTS AND REVISED MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM NO. 71-37,BEAR CREEK WINERY, SANJOAQUIN COUNTY On 10 December 2002, tentative Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) for Goldstone Land Company, Kurt Kautz, and Bear Creek Winery were distributed for comments. On 31 January 2003,Fall Creek Engineering (FCE)provided comments on the tentative WDRs. Because FCE raised issues that could not be resolved without further investigation, staff removed the tentative WDRs from the agenda and agreed to allow further studies to be performed prior to revising and resubmitting the tentative WDRs for consideration by the Regional Board. Issues raised by FCE include uncertainties of background groundwater quality, pH neutralization of wastewater prior to application to the land treatment units, the level of source control already implemented by the winery, and effluent limits related to the water supply quality. The reports described below are required pursuant to Section 13267 of the California Water Code. It should be noted that all these reports were required in the tentative WDRs and that neither Bear Creek Winery nor FCE raised objections to completing the work. To facilitate collection of monitoring data while the technical reports are being prepared and studies are performed, this order also includes a revised Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP)No. 71-37. The revised MRP includes the additional analytes for winery wastewater, supplemental irrigation water, and groundwater that FCE recommended in their 31 January 2003 comment letter. The revised MRP is issued pursuant to California Water Code Section 13267. Section 13267 of the California Water Code in part states: (b) (1)In conducting an investigation specified in subdivision (a), the regional board may require that any person who has discharged, discharges, or is suspected of having discharged or discharging, or who proposes to discharge waste within its region, or any citizen or domiciliary, or political agency or entity of this state who has discharged, discharges, or is suspected of having discharged or discharging, or who proposes to discharge, waste outside of its region that could affect the quality of waters within its region California Environmental Protection Agency co Recycled Paper The energy challenge facing California is real.
