Ted Wojnar - 3 - 23 September 2004 Geologist and be submitted by 1 June 2005. (Staff recognize this report is not yet overdue based on the revised submittal schedule contained in the 26 March 2004 NOV, but are including it in this list so that it is not overlooked). Self-Monitoring Reports Staff reviewed self-monitoring reports submitted by Oak Ridge Winery for the time period from April to August 2004 (the time period since the 26 March 2004 NOV) and determined they are incomplete. Due to the failure to submit the required reports pursuant to Section 13267, staff's usual next step is to recommend to management that civil liability (monetary penalties) be assessed. As of 22 September 2004, the maximum liability for the delinquent monitoring reports described above is $269,000. However, staff will not recommend that the Executive Officer issue an Administrative Civil Liability Complaint (ACLC) if all future monitoring reports are complete. Noted violations in the monitoring reports include the following: • Monthly leachfield monitoring is not reported. • Quarterly septic tank monitoring is not reported. • Monthly land application loading rates are not reported. If no land application occurred during the month, the report should state that. • Freeboard measurements were not reported for both ponds in May. Staff is aware of at least three ponds at the facility. Freeboard measurements must be submitted for all the ponds. • Wastewater flow monitoring is reported one month late. For example,the now data for May was reported in June. Please present the flow monitoring data in the appropriate monthly report. • Flow data is presented in cumulative totals. That is acceptable if the daily flow rate is also presented. • The parameters pH and dissolved oxygen were not reported in the July pond monitoring data. • Groundwater monitoring reports must be prepared under the supervision of a California licensed engineer or geologist as required by the California Business and Professions Code. Please have future groundwater monitoring reports prepared by a registered professional. Staff transmitted a copy of Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) Order No. 5-01-172 in the 26 March 2004 NOV. Please carefully review the Order and the Monitoring and Reporting Program (MRP) and make adjustments to your program to comply with the order. Failure to comply may result in an enforcement action or a fine of up to $1,000 per report, per day late. If you have any questions on the Order, the technical report submittal requirements or how to implement the MRP, please telephone Wendy Wyels at(916) 464-4835 or Tim O'Brien at(916) 464-4616.
