Our comments on the NONA application and sample results are presented below. Mr. David Sproul San Joaquin Warehouse Company P. O. Box 825 Victor, CA 95253 NOTICE OF NONAPPLICABILITY APPLICATION, SAN JOAQUIN WAREHOUSE COMPANY, LODI, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY State Water Resource Control Board Division of Water Quality/Storm Water Unit P.O. Box 1977, Sacramento, California 95812-1977 Attn: Philip S. Isorena Central Valley RWQCB 3443 Routier Road, Suite A Sacramento, CA 95827-3003 ENVIRONMENT HEALTH PERMIT/SERViCEfiiuary 2002 Winston H. Hickox Secretary for Environmental Protection The NONA states that none of the facility’s storm water discharges directly or indirectly to waters of the United States because all storm water is discharged to an offsite evaporation/percolation pond. This statement is not entirely accurate. Our inspection of the facility on 21 November 2001 revealed that the evaporation/percolation pond that you use for storm water disposal is in the flood plain. Therefore, you discharge storm water to surface water, albeit indirectly. In addition, your storm water data show the presence of Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN), nitrate as N, and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) at 33.4 2, and 28 mg/1, respectively. TKN, nitrate as N, and BOD are storm water pollutants. Furthermore, our inspection found accumulation of petroleum products in a parking lot drain sump at the southern section of the facility. Petroleum products are also storm water pollutants. Based on these findings, your application for a NONA is hereby denied.
