CA G915001, GENERAL ORDER NO. 5-00-11912 <br /> EQUIVA SERVICES, LLC, <br /> BULK FUEL TERMINAL, <br /> STOCKTON, SAN JOA QUIN COUNTY <br /> On 15 March 2002, the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board) <br /> issued Equiva Services LLC (Equiva) a Notification of Applicability for General Waste Discharge <br /> Requirements General Order No. 5-00-119, NPDES Order No. CA G915001 (General Order) to <br /> discharge treated groundwater to the San Joaquin River. The General Order is issued for surface <br /> water discharges from groundwater cleanup of petroleum fuel pollution and lists effluent limits for <br /> various constituents of concern associated with petroleum sites. <br /> On 15 August 2002, Equiva began extracting groundwater from three wells, treating it with <br /> granular activated carbon and discharging the effluent via piping to the San Joaquin River. Equiva <br /> collected weekly effluent samples on 21 August, 28 August, and 4 September. Concentrations of <br /> total lead in these three effluent samples ranged from 18.6 to 24.6 micrograms per liter (ug/1). The <br /> General Order 30-day median and daily maximum limit is 2 ug/1. Based on the exceedances of <br /> total lead concentrations in the effluent samples, Equiva is in violation of the General Order and is <br /> subject to mandatory minimum penalties, as stipulated in the California Water Code. <br /> Equiva shut down the groundwater extraction and treatment system and informed Regional Board <br /> staff via telephone of the effluent exceedance on 4 September followed by written confirmation <br /> received via electronic mail on 17 September. <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> Cc?
