Bozzano Rd. <br /> Stockton, CA 95215 <br /> NOTICE OF APPLICABILITY OF RESOLUTION NO. R5-2003-0106 <br /> CALIFORNIA FRUIT PROCESSORS, LLC, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> Regional Board staff has reviewed your 22 January 2002 Report of Waste Discharge (RWD) and recent <br /> additional information submitted to apply for coverage under Resolution No. R5-2003-0106, the Waiver of <br /> Waste Discharge Requirements for Small Food Processors, Including Wineries, Within the Central Valley <br /> Region. Based on the information you have submitted, the discharge as described in the RWD satisfies the <br /> general and specific conditions of Resolution No. R5-2003-0106 for the current amount of wastewater <br /> produced. <br /> Discharge Description <br /> California Fruit Processors, LLC, owns and operates the facility at 2851 N. Bozzano Road in Stockton, San <br /> Joaquin County. The Discharger receives, stores, stems and pits cherries. Cherries are not canned at the <br /> facility,but are shipped to food processors for additional processing and canning. While at the facility, the <br /> cherries are stored in a sulfur dioxide brine solution. An average of 3,500 tons of cherries are processed and <br /> 750,000 gallons of brine solution are produced on an annual basis. The processed cherries, along with brine, <br /> are shipped via truck or train to processors around the country. The process washwater system is a closed <br /> loop system, in which waste washwater is captured in floor drains and stored in tanks until being recycled as <br /> process washwater. The waste washwater is only removed from the system when it is used to make brine. <br /> Washwater is not disposed on or off site, except when it is shipped as brine with the cherries. <br /> Sanitary wastewater is disposed of in a septic tank/leachfield system that is regulated by the San Joaquin <br /> County Environmental Health Department. Residual solids (stems and pits) from the processing operation <br /> are collected and stored in dumpsters that are removed every 3 to 4 days by Delta Container for disposal at <br /> the Stockton Landfill. The stems and pits are dry when placed in the dumpsters, so there is no leachate from <br /> the dumpsters. Stormwater from the developed production area is regulated under State Board Order No. <br /> 97-03-DWQ, the General Permit for Industrial Stormwater Discharge. <br /> Conditional Waiver <br /> Based on the information submitted in the RV,D, the discharge as described above satisfies the general and <br /> specific conditions of Resolution No. R5-2003-0106. Therefore, this letter serves as formal notice that <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> v$Recycled Paper <br />
