WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS -3- GOLDEN GATE FRESH FOODS, INC. dba VICTOR FINE FOODS INTERIM GROUND WATER CLEANUP SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY 88-193 A limited term NPDES permit allowing the discharge of ground water polluted with TDS, after blending with fresh water, to the Mokelumne River until 1 March 1990. This proposed order allows the discharge to continue until 1 July 1990. 89-037 Special Order amending Order Nos. 88-191 and 88-193 to reflect a corporate name change.

Current discharges to the on-site percolation pond include about 100,000 gpd of process wastewater. This wastewater has TDS concentrations ranging from 1 ,600 to 2,000 mg/1 , and a BOD of about 820 mg/l . 13. The Discharger submitted a UIC Permit Application in January 1989, in compliance with Cease and Desist Order No. 88-191 and supplemental information as requested by EPA in May 1989. A draft UIC permit was circulated on 15 September 1989. Due to the October 1989 earthquake and subsequent problems at EPA the final UIC permit was not issued until 19 February 1990. Construction of the injection well began on 28 February 1990. The Discharger has estimated that the injection well should be complete within 60 days. Allowing for final approval to use the injection well and unavoidable delays, the injection well should be on-line no later than 1 July 1990. 14. The Board, on 25 July 1975, adopted a Water Quality Control Plan for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Basin (5B) which contains water quality objec- tives. These requirements are consistent with that Plan. 15. Effluent limitations, and toxic and pretreatment effluent standards, established pursuant to Sections 301 , 302, 304, and 307 of the Clean Water Act and amendments thereto, are applicable to the discharge. 16. The action to adopt an NPDES permit is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000, et seq. ) , in accordance with Section 13389 of the California Water Code.
