CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD <br /> CENTRALVALLEY REGION <br /> ORDER NO. 92- T <br /> NPDES NO. CA0082911 <br /> WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS <br /> FOR E <br /> CITY OF STOCKTON <br /> AUSTIN ROAD LANDFILL <br /> GROUND WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM AND STORM WATER DISCHARGE <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region, N <br /> (hereafter Board) finds that: <br /> 1. The City of Stockton (hereafter Discharger) submitted a Report of Waste <br /> Discharge, dated 24 December 1991, and applied for authorization to <br /> discharge waste under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System <br /> (NPDES) . The Discharger submitted addenda to the Report of Waste <br /> Discharge; dated 27 March 1992, which contained the calculations for the <br /> air stripping tower design; and dated 17 April 1992, which addressed the <br /> future addition of the landfill gas condensate to the ground water <br /> treatment system. <br /> 2. The Discharger proposes to discharge waste from a ground water treatment <br /> system designed to remove volatile organic compounds from ground water. <br /> Waste water will be discharged into Littlejohns Creek which is tributary to <br /> the San Joaquin River, a water of the United States, at a point defined as <br /> W 121'11'4", N 37*53'3", as shown on Attachment A, which is attached hereto <br /> and made part of this Order by reference. <br /> 3. Pumped ground water will be treated by passing it through an air stripper, <br /> the stripped air serially passed through two exchangeable activated carbon <br /> units, and the water discharged to a holding tank prior to discharge to <br /> Littlejohns Creek. The activated carbon is regenerated or disposed of off- <br /> site. The treatment system is designed for a flow of 400 gpm (580,000 gpd) <br /> of extracted ground water. About 305 gpm (440,000 gpd) will be discharged <br /> to Littlejohns Creek. <br /> 4. The proposed wastewater treatment technology is capable of dependably <br /> removing the following constituents to concentrations which are generally <br /> non-detectable by current analytical technology. The commonly achieved <br /> detection levels are as follows: <br /> Detection Analytical <br /> Constituent Level Units Method <br /> 1,1 Dichloroethane 0.5 Ag/l EPA Method 601 <br /> 1,2 Dichloroethane 0.5 mg/l EPA Method 601 <br /> Vinyl Chloride 0.5 mg/l EPA Method 601 <br />
