In order to respond to the issues raised in your letter, outlined below is a brief summary of the EHD involvement in your project,as well as a response to each'ofyour specific questions. ➢ On September 27, 2002, the San Joaquin County Community Development Department(CDD) sent referral letters requesting comments or recommendations on PA-0200428 (SA) to 24 agencies and interested parties. Included in those were referrals to the EHD and to the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (CVRWQCB). The project was described as"A Site Approval for a chocolate manufacturing and distribution facility. To include remodel of existing 3,600 square feet[sic]building for retail store and office and adding 12,600 square foot manufacturing and warehouse building."' The CVRWQCB responded to the CDD referral by letter dated October 21,2002,with copies to you and Mr. Frank Giannecchini. The letter noted, "Food manufacturing generates high strength wastewater that is not suitable for discharge to a septic tank system. Because wastewater will be generated from an industrial process, Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) will be required for the discharge of wastewater at the site_" Submission of a Report of Waste Discharge(RWD) was required at least 120 days prior to the start of any discharge of wastewater at the site.2 ➢ On October 29, 2002,the EHD responded to the CDD referral with a letter listing the pertinent San Joaquin County Development Title and California Health and Safety Code requirements for your project. The standard conditions listed are under the jurisdiction of the EHD and must be .approved prior to issuance of building permits for a project. These requirements included- performance of a soil-suitability study,a nitrate loading study and percolation tests in the proposed on-site wastewater disposal area. Written confirmation from the public water purveyor that the project would be served by the public water system was required,as well as food facility plans for the retail operation.
