Schulte Road <br /> Tracy, CA 95377 <br /> NOTICE OF VIOLATION, OWENS-BROCKWAY GLASS FURNACE FACILITY, SAN <br /> JOAQUIN COUNTY <br /> On 17 March 2000, the Central Valley Regional Water Board adopted Waste Discharge <br /> Requirements (WDRs) Order No. 5-00-056 for the Owens-Illinois Glass Furnace Facility. Staff <br /> has reviewed self-monitoring reports for the period March 2006 through April 2007 and <br /> identified the following violations: <br /> 1. Monitoring reports were routinely submitted late. Reports are due on the 30th day of the <br /> following month. For example, the August report is due by 30 September. <br /> a. In the time period examined, only 2 of 15 reports were submitted on time. In <br /> addition, the June 2007 report (which was due on 30 July 2007) has not been <br /> submitted and is late. <br /> b. The October 2006 quarterly report was not signed by a registered professional. <br /> C. None of the reports included the certification statement required by the Standard <br /> Provisions Section B.3. <br /> 2. Some of the required domestic wastewater monitoring data were not reported. <br /> a. Flow estimation was not reported. <br /> b. Quarterly septic tank inspection (sludge and scum gauging) or quarterly pumping <br /> was not reported. <br /> C. Although leachfield monitoring is reported in the monthly reports, it was not <br /> reported in the quarterly reports. <br /> 3. Some of the required process wastewater monitoring data were not being reported. <br /> a. Continuous flow monitoring is not always occurring. In 3 of 15 reports (March, <br /> April, and December 2006) no flow dat "presented; in 4 of 15 reports (May <br /> and October 2006, and February and May 2007) an incomplete month is <br /> reported (flow monitoring was not performed the entire month); and in 3 reports <br /> (August and September 2006, and January 2007) the data were ambiguous and <br /> not deemed reliable. <br /> b. Less than two feet of freeboard was reported in May and June of 2006, and April <br /> 2007. <br /> California Environmental Protection Agency <br /> Ca Recycled Paper <br />
