CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD <br /> CENTRAL VALLEY REGION <br /> 3443 Routier Road, Suite A <br /> Sacramento, California 95827 <br /> NOTICE OF PUBLICATION OF AN INITIAL STUDY <br /> AND NEGATIVE DECLARATION <br /> THE WINE GROUP, INC. - FRANZIA WINERY'S <br /> EXPANSION PROJECT OF LAND APPLICATION AREAS USING RECLAIMED WASTEWATER <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> This Initial Study covers the proposed actions by the Regional Board to revise and update the Wine <br /> Group's Franzia Winery Waste Discharge Requirements. The initial study assesses the potential impacts <br /> that could occur as a result of Franzia Winery's proposed modification to its wastewater disposal method <br /> and disposal area. The existing wastewater disposal method from the Franzia Winery is to discharge it to <br /> 30 acres of percolation and evaporation ponds. The proposed project is to expand the wastewater disposal <br /> area and to use it for irrigation water for a 300 acre grape producing vineyard adjacent to the winery. The <br /> vineyard is scheduled for planting in the spring of 1995, once the vineyard is planted, wastewater flows <br /> will be diverted to it and the 30 acres of percolation/evaporation ponds will be filled in and grapes planted <br /> in their place. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region, (Board) is <br /> the lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) and has prepared an Initial Study <br /> and Negative Declaration for the project. The Board has also prepared draft Waste Discharge <br /> Requirements for the project which will regulate the quality and method of disposal of the reclaimed water. <br /> The public comment on the proposed documents should be submitted by 14 March 1995. <br /> Copies of the Initial Study,Negative Declaration, and draft Waste Discharge Requirements may be <br /> obtained by contacting Michael Mosbacher at the Board's office at 3443 Routier Road, Sacramento, CA <br /> 95827, telephone (916) 255-3030. <br /> Please bring the above information to the attention of anyone you know who would be interested in this <br /> matter. <br /> JackE.
