Stockton Propeller, Inc. - 8 - 10 May 2022 Order R5-2022-0806 waters of the State. Impacts to soil, and groundwater are currently unknown and require further investigation. 26.Based on the evidence discussed in the preceding Findings and as operator of the Site, SPI is suspected to have discharged hazardous wastes in a manner that could affect the quality of the waters of the State. As owners of the property wherein the Site is located, Wiley and Shawna Lynn Chandler had the ability to monitor and control the Site's uses and are therefore suspected to have discharged waste where it could affect the quality of the waters of the State. As owners of SPI, Rob Hrabe and Suhasini Pyarasani are suspected dischargers for operating the business in a manner that may have discharged hazardous waste at the Site that could percolate to groundwater (VRC Metals, 2022b).5 Mike Belmont is a suspected discharger because he has estimated that under his supervision, approximately five (5) gallons per day of operations of the rinse water and spent waste was discharged into the septic system since 2005 (SJCEHD, 2021 b). 27.The technical reports required under this Order are necessary to investigate actual and/or threatened discharges of waste to waters of the State and to ascertain the extent of pollution to soil and groundwater and impairment of designated beneficial uses. This information is needed to protect public health and the environment from contamination and to adequately protect groundwater and its beneficial uses. In particular, the Central Valley Water Board needs the required Site Audit and Chemical Storage and Use Questionnaire (Attachment A) to evaluate the extent of wastes discharged to soil and groundwater at and near the Site. The Central Valley Water Board further needs the required business documents to determine potential responsible parties in performing its due diligence required under State Water Resources Control Board (State Board) Resolution No. 92-49, subdivision I.B. 28.The burden of preparing the requested technical reports, including costs, bears a reasonable relationship to the need for and the benefits to be obtained through the provision of these reports. Central Valley Water Board staff prepared a Cost Estimate, dated 18 March 2022, for the technical report(s) required under this Order, which include sampling the septic tank, leach field soils, and groundwater, which demonstrates the total cost of the technical reports required under this Order may be between $90,000 to $120,000. As described in the preceding Finding, the required information is necessary to evaluate the potential magnitude of impacts from hazardous waste used at the Site and to investigate and delineate waste potentially discharged to soil and groundwater as a result of the activities performed at the Site. 29.Failure to timely submit the required reports may subject the Parties to administrative civil liability imposed by the Central Valley Water Board in an a In an email to the Water Board dated 9 March 2022, Michael McCormick of VRC Metals confirmed Suhasini Pyarasani is a co-owner with minority ownership in SPI.
