Jack Tone Road <br /> Stockton, CA 95215 Stockton, CA 95215 <br /> NOTICE OF CONTINUANCE OF BOARD HEARING AND CALIFORNIA WATER CODE <br /> SECTION 13267 ORDER FOR TECHNICAL REPORTS, CHINCHIOL0 STEMILT <br /> CALIFORNIA,SAN JOA QUIN COUNTY <br /> Regional Board staff had scheduled consideration of the tentative Waste Discharge Requirements <br /> ()MRS) for Chinchiolo Stemilt California(CSC) for the Board's 9/10 September 2004 meeting. <br /> However,based on comments received during a 28 July 2004 meeting with CSC representatives, staff <br /> has learned that the design presented in the 29 January 2004 Report of Waste Discharge (RWD)is <br /> conceptual and CSC has not committed to building the treatment system described and cannot proceed <br /> until more data is collected. At the meeting, staff discussed the information requirements that are <br /> required to,allow completion of the tentative WDRs and stressed that the RWD must accurately present <br /> the proposed system. <br /> Staff has agreed to remove the tentative WDRs from consideration at the September Board meeting, <br /> upon the condition that CSC completes necessary investigations and submits technical reports that will <br /> allow finalization of the design plans. Data regarding wastewater flow rates, wastewater quality, and <br /> groundwater quality needs to be collected prior to finalizing the design. Please realize that CSC should <br /> have collected this data previously and that staff has already allowed several schedule extensions for <br /> preparation of the RWD. The lack of wastewater flow data is particularly troubling since staff has <br /> identified the need to measure flow rates on a number of occasions, as described below. <br /> History of Flow Metering at the Facility <br /> During staff's 29 August 2000 site inspection, CSC was informed that flow metering is required by <br /> WDRs Order No. 95-039. The requirement was restated in the 7 September 2000 site inspection report <br /> which stated, "As we discussed in our site meeting, Chinchiolo Fruit Company is not reporting flow as <br /> required by the Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) Order No. 95-039. By 6 November 2000 <br /> Chinchiolo Fruit Company shall install a flow meter and begin reporting of the data." <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> Co Recycled Paper <br />
