Rond Road Lodi, CA. 95242 REPORT OF WASTE DISCHARGE FOR THE DE SNAYER DAIRY, 23243 N. ROND ROAD, LODI, CA, SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY On 7 May 2004, Regional Board staff received your Report of Waste Discharge (ROWD) with the filing fee and technical information for the expansion of the De Snayer Dairy in San Joaquin County. The ROWD adequately described the project, which consists of a new milk barn and the expansion of animals at the dairy. The dairy currently milks 1,100 cows and wants to expand to 1,800 cows. The ROWD contained sufficient information regarding the wastewater generation, storage, and cropland application. The waste storage ponds have adequate capacity to store 180 days of wastewater generated, rainfall runoff, and one 25-year, 24-hour storm event. A nutrient management plan was also provided to document the application of liquid and solid manure to the cropland at the dairy site. The Report of Waste Discharge was thorough and adequately described the project and, therefore, is complete. The ROWD also included a notice of determination and negative declaration prepared by San Joaquin County Community Development Department. However, in "Appendix 2", of the ROWD the environmental document produced by San Joaquin County states that: Site Approval No. PA-03-429 of Leen De Snayer- for• a 12,960 square foot milking parlor (8,000 gallons). Located on the west side of Rond Road, 2,000 feet north of Peltier Road, south of Thornton. The San Joaquin County environmental document project statement is significantly different than what was described in the ROWD. The Conditional Use Permit was for construction of a milk barn and did not include the expansion of animals at the dairy. Therefore, the environmental document produced by San Joaquin County does not address the project, as presented in the ROWD. Be advised that the Board is unable develop requirements until the expansion of the project receives full CEQA evaluation. The applicant may not discharge additional manure or wastewater from the expanded dairy facilities in violation of Section 13264 of the California Water Code. In addition, the Regional Board cannot adopt requirements until CEQA is satisfied. Section 13264 of the California Water Code states, in part: (a) No person shall initiate any n")discharge of waste or make any material changes in any discharge, or initiate a discharge to, make any material changes in a discharge to, or- construct, an injection well,prior to the filing of the report required by Section 13260 and no California Environmental Protection Agencv Ca Recycled Pope?-
