Live Oak Road, Stockton that was distributed by San Joaquin County <br /> Community Development-Department. The document briefly describes plans to construct an olive <br /> processing plant. <br /> Manufacturing olive oil generates wastewater that can produce.nuisance odors and impact groundwater <br /> quality. -California Water Code Section 13260(a) requires that'any person.discharging waste or <br /> t proposing to discharge waste (i.e., olive processing wastewater and/or solids)`snustfie a�Repo of <br /> IOw teDischar ,e-(RWD)-and-obtain ei!!eriWaate�Discharge R-equirements (WDRs)2g;K 'vavier- <br /> WDRs fro_m�the Regional1BY 3 ard.

Discharging wastewater without first securing a waiver.or WDRs is a <br /> violation of California Water Code Section 13260 and exposes the discharger to enforcement actions, <br /> including fines. , <br /> _ <br /> If-the proposed facility either: (a)will produce less than 100,000.gallons of wastewater annually; or <br /> (b)will collect and haul all process wastewater for disposal off-site,then the facility can qualify for a _ <br /> t waiver of WDRs under Resolution No. R5-2003-0106.
