The Order, which was adopted by the Central Valley Water Board on 8 October 2009, is a conditional waiver of waste discharge requirements for small wineries and small food processors. Corto-Olive L.P. operates the Corto-Olive Mill at 10201 E. Live Oak Road, in Stockton, California. Cortopassi Partners, L.P. owns Corto-Olive, and Cocoa Farms, L.P. owns a portion of the Land Application Areas (LAAs). These three entities are hereafter collectively referred to as the Discharger. The property consists of approximately 97.8 acres (San Joaquin County APN 063-180-26) used for olive orchard and milling operations. Additional acreage of adjacent olive and cherry orchards are also associated with the Corto-Olive Mill. On February 17 2010, the Discharger submitted a Report of Waste Discharge (RWD) summarizing the discharge of wastewater to land from olive milling operations. The Central Valley Water Board found the RWD to be completed and issued a Notice of Applicability, Order R5-2009-0097-0028 for the facility on 31 December 2010. The Amendment was submitted to supplement the 2010 RWD for the facility, and provide details about recent changes to water quality resulting from modifications to clean-in- place (CIP) procedures. DISCHARGE DESCRIPTION The Discharger currently processes between 8,000 to 10,000 tons of olives and generates approximately 100,000 gallons of wastewater annually. Wastewater is generated from fruit washing, plant washdown, equipment cleaning, and boiler blowdown.
