STAT • AT E OF CALIFORNIA GEORGE DEUKMEJIAN,Governor CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD- CENTRAL VALLEY REGION =- 3201 S STREET '• �� u• SACRAMENTO,CALIFORNIA 95816-7090 PHONE: (916)445-0270 28 February 1985 Mr. Michael F. Brinton Director of Public Works 1001 W. Center Street `414 Manteca, CA 95336 yFq��p&iN ~' MANTECA SEWAGE TREATMENT, PLANT, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY 4%T�C9,44, During a 16 January 1985 telephone conversation, Gary Reents discussed with your office the problem of the lack of sewage treatment plant capacity for the City of Manteca. Specifically, the City is continuing to propose further residential subdivisions without regard to the existing problems due to overloading at the plant. David Mueller of your staff responded that the City had recently leased acreage which will supply additional capacity for wastewater disposal. Mr. Reents requested a report detailing the location of the additional acreage, how wastewater will be applied, and the quantities of wastewater to be applied. Additionally, it was requested that the City include an explanation of all interim measures to be implemented for alleviating the existing problem while also providing additional capacity for new connections to the collection system. Mr. Reents stated that it is the Board' s policy that sewage treatment plant capacity must exist before new connections can be allowed. In response, your office sent us a 25 January letter containing a lease agreement for 82 acres of additional disposal land. This does not satisfy the the requirements of the requested report, with the exception of identifying the location of the newly acquired land. Enclosed are two memoranda, the first is a report of an inspec- tion of the City' s sewage treatment plant facilities on 31 January 1985 . The second is regarding the laboratory results of the samples collected during the 31 January inspection. As discussed in the first memorandum, the disposal fields are at or beyond capacity, direct discharges are occurring to the South San Joaquin Irrigation District (SSJID) drain, and the treatment plant is loaded beyond capacity. Based on all of the above, and to come into compliance with Waste Discharge Requirements No. 70-134 , we request the City of Manteca to: 1. Plug the two west side culverts to prevent further discharge to the SSJID drain.
