'POQ ��yN� 1 I Jennifer Jolley Lino Bacchetti San Joaquin County Comm. Develop. Dept. 187 p South Baccchetti and a Dairy ttRoad 1810 E.Hazelton Ave. Tracy, CA 95304 Stockton, CA 95205 UR01-7, CHEESE MANUFACTURING FACILITY, TRACY, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY I have reviewed the Application Referral for the conversion of an existing milk barn to a cheese manufacturing facility at Bacchettz Road, Tracy, San Joaquin County distributed b the San Joaquin County Community Development Department. The Application Number is UP-01-7. The document briefly describes plans to construct a cheese manufacturing facility, I Disposal of domestic wastewater is not adequately described in the Application Referral. Treatment, storage, and disposal of industrial wastewater is not described at all in the Application Referral. Manufacturing cheese generates industrial wastewater that can generate offensive odors and impact the quality of groundwater. If wastewater is generated and treated, stored, or disposed on site,Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) are required. The property owner shall submit a Report of Waste Discharge (RWD) at least 120 days prior to discharging wastewater at the site. Submittal of the RWD is required by California Water Code Section 13260. If groundwater dewatering is required,the owner/operator shall submit a RWD to apply for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)permit at least 120 days prior to initiating dewatering activities. Depending on the Standard Industrial Classification(SIC) code of the final project, compliance with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit No. CAS000001 for Discharges of Storm Water Associated With Industrial Activities may be required. The SIC codes of activities requiring coverage are listed in the General Permit. In order to obtain coverage by the General Permit,the proponent must submit a Notice of Intent to comply with the permit (NOI)to the State Water Resources Control Board and a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan(SWPPP) must be prepared. Because construction associated with the project will disturb more than five acres or is part of a larger common plan of development that encompasses five or more acres, the property owner needs to obtain permit coverage under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES) General Permit No. CAS000002 for Discharges of Storm Water Associated With Construction Activity. Before construction begins,the proponent must submit an NOI to comply with the permit to the State Water Resources Control Board and a SWPPP must be prepared. If there are any questions about this process or the storm water program, you may call Dani Berchtold at (916) 255-3383 or Leo Sarmiento at(916) California Environmental Protection Agency �a Recycled Paper The energy challenge facing California is real.
