The Report of Waste Discharge (RWD) documents were prepared in response to <br /> Requirement No. 12 of Cease and Desist Order No. R5-2003-00125. The Cease and Desist Order was <br /> issued because groundwater quality pollution has been observed at the facility. <br /> The discharge proposed for the facility will result in further degradation of groundwater quality by <br /> Fixed Dissolved Solids (FDS). Several high strength waste streams have been identified in the RWDs <br /> and in further conversation with Bob Chrobak of Kennedy/Jenks Consultants on 6 October 2005. Staff <br /> recommends implementation of source control, segregation of high strength wastestreams, and <br /> substitution of more environmentally friendly chemicals in the facility to reduce the concentration and <br /> nature of constituents that comprise the FDSs constituents. Most of the items described in this letter <br /> are identified in the 3 June 2002 Manual of Good Practice for Land Application of Food Processing <br /> Wastevvater, prepared for the California League of Food Processors. <br /> As a result of the winery expansion and because a portion of the existing Land Application Area(LAA) <br /> will be converted to other uses (storage tanks and pomace storage pad) the RWD proposes allowing <br /> more wastewater to be discharged on less LAA. In addition, food processing systems that generate <br /> high strength FDS wastewater are proposed for the site. Clean In Place (CIP) systems, ion exchange <br /> water softeners, and boiler and cooling tower blowdown generate significant amounts of wastewater <br /> with high FDS concentrations. Staff's review of the RWD indicates few control technologies are <br /> proposed for the facility. In cases such as this, where higher strength wastewater is proposed for <br /> discharge on a smaller LAA, source control is strongly suggested. <br /> Staff has identified the following waste generating activities for which little or no source control has <br /> been proposed. Please describe the use of each of the systems identified below, including the effect the <br /> system will have on wastewater quality and alternatives to what has been proposed. <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> Ca Recycled Paper <br />
