CALIFORNIA REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD <br /> CENTRAL VALLEY REGION . <br /> ORDER NO. 77-247 <br /> WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS <br /> FOR <br /> &MSTAR CORPORATION, SPRECKELS SUGAR DIVISION - MANTECA FACTORY <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region, (here- <br /> after Board), finds that: <br /> 1. The Board on 20 July 1961 adopted Resolution No. 61-83 which prescribed <br /> requirements for a discharge from the Spreckels Sugar Factory at Manteca <br /> to either wastewater disposal ponds or surface water drainage tributary <br /> to French Camp Slough_ and the San Joaquin River. <br /> 2. The Manteca Factory is located south of Yosemite Avenue and West of High- <br /> way 99 in Sections 3 & 4, T25, R7E, MDB&M. <br /> 3. Present waste discharge requirements established by Resolution No. 61-83 <br /> do not accurately describe the current discharge of wastes at the Spreckels <br /> factory, and are not adequate nor consistent with present plans and policies <br /> of the Board. The discharge to surface waters has ceased and all wastes are <br /> now contained on land. <br /> 4. During the beet processing, approximately 1,000 gallons per minute (63.1 <br /> liters/second) of wastewater is discharged to a series of stabilization <br /> ponds. Effluent from the ponds is used to irrigate forage crops on fac- <br /> tory owned property. <br /> 5. The Board has notified the discharger and interested agencies and persons <br /> of its intent to prescribe waste discharge requirements for this discharge. <br /> 6. The Board, in a public meeting, heard and considered all comments pertaining <br /> to the discharge. <br /> 7. This is an ongoing project as defined in Title 14, California Administrative <br /> Code, Section 15070 and is therefore exempt from the provisions of the <br /> California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 <br /> et. seq. ). <br /> 8. The beneficial uses of the groundwater are: industrial, agricultural, and <br /> domestic supply. <br /> 9. The Board, on 25 July 1975, adopted a Water Quality Control Plan for the <br /> San Joaquin River Basin. The plan includes objectives for groundwaters. <br />
