CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD CENTRAL VALLEY REGION ORDER NO. R5-2004-0033 RESCINDING VARIOUS WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region, finds that the Board adopted the following Orders and Resolutions which are no longer applicable for the reasons shown: Resolution No. 62-146, adopted 18 October 1962, prescribes requirements for discharge of domestic waste from the King View Hospital wastewater treatment facility to an oxidation and percolation pond and two emergency effluent storage ponds. The site is adjacent to Kings River and is in two parcels in Section 4, T16S, R23E, MOB&M. The ponds are no longer in use and the property is now under ownership of Aspen Education, Inc. Water Quality Order No. 97-10-DWQ-R5F016 now regulates discharges of wastewater by Aspen Education to two septic tanks and leachfields. Order No. 85-223, adopted 23 August 1985, prescribes requirements for the discharge of wastewater from the Wawona Frozen Food's plant owned by Mr. Earl Smitcamp to 81.5 acres of lands. The site is in Clovis in sections 29 and 31, T12S, R21E, MDB&M. The Discharger no longer discharges to land but to a pretreatment facility prior to final discharge to the Cities of Fresno and Clovis wastewater treatment facility. The Discharger kept the Order active, but due to recent annual fee increases requested by letter dated 9 January that the Order be rescinded. Order No. 90-013, adopted 26 January 1990, prescribes requirements for wastewater storage and disposal at the former Mokelumne Gold Mine in Amador County. In June 1999, the Amador County Environmental Health Department revoked the conditional use permit for mining activities at the site due to concerns over the operations. In 1999, the Discharger sold the property. The new owner has indicated that no mining activity is occurring or will occur in the future and has requested that the Order be rescinded. Order No. 90-084, adopted 23 March 1990, prescribes requirements for the discharge of wash water from the San Joaquin Sand & Gravel Blackstone Plant to settling ponds. The site is in Section 20, T12S, R20E, MDB&M. The Blackstone Plant is no longer in operation. Order No. 91-168, adopted 26 July 1991, prescribes requirements for the recycling of disinfected secondary treated wastewater from the City of Hanford's wastewater treatment facility to two sites owned by Bill and Sharon Walker. The sites are on 357 and 39-acre parcels in Sections 10, 11 and 12, T19S, R22 1E, MDB&M. The City of Hanford, through Order No. 5-00-223, now regulates the recycling operations at these two sites. General Order No. 96-270, adopted 25 October 1996, prescribes Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) for Francisco G. Silva, Vielmina S. Silva and Frank S. Silva, dba Francisco G. Silva Dairy. Regional Board staff inspected the facilities at 12154 East Keyes Road in Denair on 5 February 2004. The Francisco G. Silva Dairy is no longer in operation. The parcel on which the dairy was located has been divided and the cropland is under new ownership. The wastepond has been closed and filled. The surrounding farmland is planted in winter forage. Since the facility is no longer being used as a dairy,
