Weber Avenue, Third Floor p�' r'�'}/u' ;- -CESrH A <br /> Stockton, CA 95202-2708 <br /> _ .� _ <br /> PROPOSED CHOCOHOLICS FACILITY, CLEMENTS, SAN JOA QUINCOUNTY <br /> Staff are in receipt of a recent Report of Waste Discharge (RWD) for the proposed Chocoholics facility <br /> in Clements and will review this RWD for completeness within the next few weeks. We understand that <br /> the applicant proposes to discharge food processing wastewater to a septic tank, and cooling water to an <br /> undisclosed location. Food processing wastewater typically contains high concentrations of BOD and <br /> TDS, and it is unknown at this time whether the proposed discharge of Chocoholic wastewater directly <br /> to a septic tank, without any treatment, will be protective of water quality. It is anticipated that staff will <br /> need to prepare WDRs for both the food processing wastewater and cooling water discharge. Before we <br /> can do so, the applicant will need to clearly show that the proposed disposal methods will not cause any <br /> c <br /> degradation of the underlying groundwater. Staff's review of the RWD will focus on this major issue. <br /> As discussed, we agree that the County can move forward with its permitting process, contingent upon <br /> the fact that the applicant(Mr. Schenone, Jr.)responds to any Regional Board requests for additional <br /> information in a timely manner and that he comply with any WDRs issued by the Regional Board. <br /> If you have any questions,please contact Tim O'Brien at(916) 255-3116 or me at (916) 255-3135. <br /> t <br /> WENDY WYELS, Chief <br /> Waste Discharge to Land Unit <br /> cc: Honorable Senator Poochigian, Sacramento <br /> Ernie Schenone, Jr., Schenone Speciality Foods, Stockton <br /> Judy Verhaag, SWRCB, Sacramento <br /> t , <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> Recycled Paper <br /> The energy challenge facing California is real.
