Jack Tone Road <br /> Stockton, CA 95215 Stockton, CA 95215 <br /> NOTICE OF VIOLATION <br /> CHINCHIOL0 FRUIT COMPANY, STOCKTON, SAN JOA QUIN COUNTY <br /> On 19 September 2001 staff conducted an inspection of the Chinchiolo Fruit Company wastewater <br /> treatment system. A site inspection photograph log is enclosed with this letter. <br /> The following observations were made during the site inspection: <br /> • No objectionable odor was noted at the wastewater treatment pond or pumping station. <br /> • The freeboard of the wastewater pond was acceptable (at least two feet). <br /> • In general, the pond berms were in good condition. <br /> • The land application areas are developed as cherry orchards. <br /> • The mechanical aerator in the wastewater pond was upside down and therefore not functional. <br /> Chinchiolo Fruit should make this repair as soon as possible. <br /> • Dumping of cherry pits and trash was observed in the stormwater pond. <br /> • A pipe connecting the wastewater pond with the stormwater pond was leaking wastewater into the <br /> stormwater pond. <br /> The following violations were noted during the inspection: <br /> • Excessive plant growth was observed in the wastewater pond and stormwater pond. Discharge <br /> Specification No. B.6.b requires "Weeds shall be minimized through control of water depth, <br /> harvesting, or herbicides. " By 15 November 2001, Chinchiolo Fruit shall submit a report <br /> describing removal of the excess weed growth. <br /> • The pavement of Fairchild Lane was stained adjacent to where sprinklers are located, indicating <br /> that wastewater is sprayed onto the pavement when irrigation occurs. Discharge Specification No. <br /> B.7 requires "Public contact with wastewater shall be precluded through such means as fences, <br /> signs, and other acceptable alternatives. " By 15 November 2001, Chinchiolo Fruit shall submit a <br /> report describing how wastewater is prevented from spraying onto County roads and what measures <br /> were implemented to prevent public contact. <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> Qa Recycled Paper <br /> The energy challenge facing California is real.
