Box 8038 Stockton, CA 95208 INCOMPLETE REPORT OF WASTE DISCHARGE, FOPPIANO RANCH AND PACKING SHED, LINDEN, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY I have reviewed the 30 September 2002 Report of Waste Discharge (RWD)prepared by Chesney Consulting and determined that additional information is required. Therefore, this letter requests additional information necessary to complete the RWD. The RWD addendum must address all the items listed below and must be prepared under the supervision of a California licensed Registered Engineer. • Based on the information presented in the RWD the site's threat and complexity is classified as 2-C. Please provide a check made out to "State Water Resources Control Board"in the amount of$2,025. • The RWD describes mixing stormwater with industrial wastewater; you should be aware that the entire mixture must then be managed as industrial wastewater. Foppiano Ranch may wish to reevaluate the plan. It is recommended you contact George Day(916) 255-3506 of the Stormwater Unit regarding other options for stormwater disposal. • The water balance did not use the 100-year return annual total rainfall data distributed monthly in accordance with historical rainfall patterns. Information on the 100-year annual total rainfall amounts are presented in the California Department of Water Resources' 1982 publication Rainfall Depth-Duration Frequency for California and are also available from Matt Winston (916) 574-2615, at the Department of Water Resources. Please resubmit the water balance using the 100-year return annual total data. • The water balance indicates the wastewater storage pond is not large enough to store all the wastewater that will be discharged to it without discharging to the land application area during the winter months. Discharge of wastewater to land application areas when the soil is saturated, or during rain events is generally not allowed. The water balance must include a monthly water balance that includes the amount of water stored in the pond. If stormwater is discharged to the pond, the stormwater must be included in the water balance.
