WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREI ITS ORDER NO.R5-2003-0179 -E- VAN RUITEN-TAYLOR RANCH LTD. VAN RUITEN-TAYLOR WINERY LLC SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY to land at agronomic rates. This Order establishes effluent limitations that are protective of the beneficial uses of the underlying groundwater, requires a salinity source reduction study, and requires the sampling of groundwater monitoring wells to assure that the discharge of waste is not impacting the underlying groundwater. Based on the result of the scheduled tasks, this Order may be reopened to reconsider effluent limitations and other requirements to comply with Resolution 68-16. 36. Section 13267(b) of California Water Code provides that: "In conducting an investigation specified in subdivision (a), the regional board may require that any person who has discharged, discharges, or is suspected of having discharged or discharging, or who proposes to discharge waste within its region, or any citizen or domiciliary, or political agency or entity of this state who has discharged, discharges, or is suspected of having discharged or discharging, or who proposes to discharge, waste outside of its region that could affect the quality of waters within its region shall furnish, under penalty of perjury, technical or monitoring program reports which the regional board requires. The burden, including costs, of these reports shall bear a reasonable relationship to the need for the report and the benefits to be obtained from the reports. In requiring those reports, the regional board shall provide the person with a written explanation with regard to the need for the reports, and shall identify the evidence that supports requiring that person to provide the reports." The technical reports required by this Order and the attached "Monitoring and Reporting Program No. R5-2003-0179"are necessary to assure compliance with these waste discharge requirements. 37. California Department of Water Resources standards for the construction and destruction of groundwater wells is described in California Well Standards Bulletin 74-90(June 1991) and Water Well Standards: State of California Bulletin 94-81 (December 1981). These standards, and any more stringent standards adopted by the state or county pursuant to CWC section 13801, apply to all monitoring wells. 38. State regulations that prescribe procedures for detecting and characterizing the impact of waste constituents from waste management units on groundwater are found in Title 27. While the wastewater treatment facility is exempt from Title 27, the data analysis methods of Title 27 are appropriate for determining whether the discharge complies with the terms for protection of groundwater specified in this Order. 39. Federal regulations for storm water discharges were promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on 16 November 1990 (40 CFR Parts 122, 123, and 124). The State Board adopted Order No. 97-03-DWQ (General Permit No. CAS000001) specifying waste discharge requirements for discharges of storm water associated with industrial activities, and requiring submittal of a Notice of Intent by all affected industrial dischargers. The Discharger has not yet obtained coverage under General Permit No. CAS000001. 40. On 20 May 1999, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act(Title 14, CCR, section 15261 et seq.), the San Joaquin County Planning Commission approved a Negative Declaration for the Van Ruiten—Taylor Winery. No mitigation measures related to water quality were included in the approval of the Negative Declaration.
