It should be noted that these items were initially requested in the Regional Board's 19 July 2001 Request for a Report of Waste Discharge correspondence. • An appropriate person did not sign the Form 200. Acceptable signatures are listed on page 3 of the Form 200 application. • The technical report portion of the RWD was not prepared under the supervision of a California licensed Registered Engineer. • A water balance was not prepared which evaluates the wastewater generation, storage capacity, and land application area required to adequately treat and dispose of wastewater. • Loading calculations apparently did not include the crush season flow rates. This proposed approach may result in an inadequate wastewater treatment system. The high flow rates and elevated contaminant concentrations that occur during the crush are critical considerations in designing the wastewater treatment and disposal system. • Improvements to the wastewater system and land application system were not described. As described in the Regional Board's 19 July 2001 Request for a RWD, and reiterated in the attachment to this letter, discharge of wastewater to fallow land is not an acceptable method of disposal. • The RWD must show how wastewater is treated and applied in a manner that protects groundwater quality or propose improvements to the system that will protect groundwater quality. Please provide a schedule for implementation of the improvement plan. • The RWD did not include a cropping plan. By 8 February 2002, Bear Creek Winery shall resubmit a complete RWD that addresses the issues raised above,plus the attached additional information requirements. A RWD consists of the Form 200 California Environmental Protection Agency ped Recycled Paper The energy challenge facing California is real.
