Box 440 <br /> Lodi, CA 95241 <br /> INSPECTION REPORT, EAST-SIDE WINERY, LODI, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> Enclosed is a report summarizing my 23 February 2000 inspection of the East-Side Winery and the <br /> wastewater disposal ponds. In general, the winery was clean and well maintained; the disposal ponds <br /> were in acceptable condition. A site inspection photograph log is enclosed with this letter. <br /> The following observations were made during the site inspection: <br /> • Winery wastewater and distillery stillage waste streams are separated at the facility. The winery <br /> wastewater is discharged into the deep ponds (one large area separated into four smaller ponds by <br /> interior berms). The stillage is discharged into the shallow ponds. No odor was noted in the <br /> vicinity of the ponds. <br /> • The freeboard of all ponds was acceptable (at least two feet). <br /> • The berms in general were in good condition during my inspection with the exception of a <br /> localized failure of an interior berm separating two deep ponds. <br /> • Pomice, filter cake, and stems were stored for composting in the area located between the shallow <br /> and deep ponds. <br /> • According to Mr. Eichele, the distillery has been used only for brief periods in the last few years. <br /> Because the waste discharge requirements for the site are no longer consistent with the present Board <br /> policies, staff will soon prepare updated waste discharge requirements based on the Report of Waste <br /> Discharge submitted to the Board on 10 February 2000. If you have any questions on this information, <br /> please telephone me at (916) 255-3116. <br /> TIMOTHY R.
