EHD does not have any permits on file for <br />winery waste holding tanks. <br />Site visit. The main gate to enter the parcel is gated and locked. Could not enter <br />the parcel. <br />Was able to get hold of the complainant Luke Laubaugh at 719-237-4323. Luke <br />stated he used to work at the winery few years back and he was told by the owner <br />that the winery discharge holding tanks are expensive to pump out so he <br />discharges them into the creek. I asked Mr. Laubaugh are you aware of any <br />discharging at the now to which he stated no. <br />Asked if he has owner contact information he provided owner phone number. <br />Called owner Vern Vierra at 209-642-0837. Spoke with Mr. Vierra and discussed <br />complaint. He stated he is not currently available to give me access to the parcel. <br />He stated he had someone from the state come and investigate.
