Box 440 <br /> Lodi, CA 95241 <br /> REQUEST FOR TECHNICAL REPORT, 8 MAY2001 WASTEWATER SPILL, EAST-SIDE <br /> WINERY, LODI, SAN JOA QUIN COUNTY <br /> On 8 May 2001, an industrial wastewater spill was discovered adjacent to the Mokelumne River. The <br /> source of the spilled material was East-Side Winery's distillery. Stillage was spilled over an area of <br /> approximately 75 feet by 20 feet. In addition to East-Side Winery, Chatfield Winery is apparently also <br /> discharging to the same pipe. I inspected the site of the spill on 8 May 2001, my observations are <br /> summarized in the attached inspection report. <br /> Consistent with Regional Board policies, East-Side Winery shall prepare a technical report which <br /> addresses the following items. <br /> • The cause of the spill, <br /> • The material spilled and the approximate amount of material spilled, <br /> • How the spill was controlled, <br /> • How the spill was cleaned up and where the material was placed, <br /> • How future spills will be prevented. This shall include an evaluation of the wastewater <br /> treatment, conveyance, and disposal system including the system features that might allow future <br /> spills as a result of operator error or vandalism to exposed equipment. <br /> East-Side Winery shall submit the technical report by 31 May 2001. Please call me at (916) 255-3116 if <br /> you have any questions regarding this request for a technical report. <br /> ,4 <br /> TIMOTHY R.
