0 <br /> Mr. Ben Hall -2 - 19 December 2003 <br /> Musco Family Olive <br /> underlying groundwater as a water supply for domestic and agricultural supply. The classification as <br /> Category 1 is appropriate and will not be changed. <br /> Re-evaluation of the discharge's B complexity did find it inappropriate. Category A discharges include <br /> those "having numerous discharge points or ground water monitoring"; Category B discharges are those <br /> not included in Category A with"physical, chemical, or biological treatment systems'; and Category C <br /> refers to "discharges having no waste treatment systems." You view the discharge as having no waste <br /> treatment system. Musco's discharge involves preliminary treatment(i.e., screening) and biological <br /> treatment (i.e., detention in aerated reservoirs), and a land treatment system so it is at least a B. However, <br /> as Musco also has a groundwater monitoring network it must be classified as Category A. <br /> The appropriate annual fee for a IA discharge is $38,000. Even this is not sufficient to cover the annual <br /> resource demands necessary for regulatory oversight of Musco the past several years. We appreciate your <br /> payment of $26,160 based on the invoice issued. However, we intend to request that the State Board <br /> issue a revised invoice for the balance of the annual fee plus the 9 percent surcharge for the additional <br /> $15,260 appropriate for your discharge. <br /> If you <br /> have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Jo Anne Kipps at(559) 445-5035. <br /> If <br /> �" <br /> THOMAS R.
