Matt Belair -4 - 20 August 2012 <br /> Delicato Family Vineyards <br /> downgradient of new LAAs. As discussed during the 15 August 2012 meeting, these wells can <br /> be installed after the WDRs are adopted. <br /> 12. Additional Groundwater Monitoring Data: Please provide the results for a single round of <br /> groundwater monitoring for the following: dissolved arsenic, dissolved iron, dissolved <br /> manganese.. FDS, and ammonia from the existing monitoring well network. Periodic analysis <br /> of these parameters may be included in the new MRP. <br /> 13. Salinity Reduction: We understand that Delicato has implemented some salinity control <br /> measures. However, it is not clear whether these efforts have been effective in reducing the <br /> salinity of the waste. Please provide a compilation of specific salinity control efforts that have <br /> been completed to date with a timeline of their implementation as compared to effluent water <br /> quality monitoring. <br /> 14. Composting: The Amended ROWD indicates that available on-site areas for composting will <br /> be reduced, although grape processing is expected to increase Please provide the volume of <br /> residual solids to be generated annually, the location and size of storage and composting <br /> areas, leachate and runoff containment features, duration of storage the volume or proportion <br /> disposed off-site; and the planned application rate of composted material to the LAAs. <br /> 15. Parcel Numbers: A list of parcel numbers provided in the Report of Waste Discharge reflecting <br /> the areas operated by the Discharger and including LAAs does not match the parcels listed in <br /> Negative Declaration documentation, dated 30 November 2011. Please clarify the referenced <br /> parcels in the Amended ROWD as compared with the parcels listed in Negative Declaration <br /> documentation to define the facility boundary. <br /> 16. Electronic Data: Please provide the Amended ROWD in electronic format and related data <br /> tables in Excel or other spreadsheet format. <br /> We support Delicato's desire to expand facility operations and understand that you may need <br /> more time to develop your expanded wastewater system design. However, the CAO required that <br /> these improvements be completed in a timely manner, and Delicato is currently exceeding the <br /> flow limits of the current WDRs. We had originally scheduled the WDRs to be included in the <br /> Central Valley Water Board's February 2013 hearing calendar and we are prepared to keep that <br /> commitment. If you wish to have revised WDRs considered by the Board in February 2013, the <br /> RWD addendum must be submitted by 30 September 2012. <br /> Alternatively, we can accommodate a later hearing date if additional time is needed to complete <br /> system design. However, Delicato must provide the RWD Addendum by 1 December 2012 at the <br /> latest so that the Board can consider revised WDRs at the June 2013 hearing. <br /> By 7 September 2012, please inform us when the RWD Addendum will be submitted. <br /> If you have any questions or need further clarification, please contact me at (916) 464-4616 or <br /> sarmstrong@waterboards.ca.gov. <br /> SCOTT ARMSTRONG, P.G., CAG. <br /> Engineering Geologist/ <br /> Non-15 Waste Discharge to Land Permitting Unit <br /> cc: Rodney Estrada, San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department, Stockton <br /> Bob Chrobak, Kennedy/Jenks Consultants, San Francisco <br />
