REPORT OF WASTE DISCHARGE FOR THE FRENCH CAMP RV PARK AND GOLF COURSE CANADA COVE LLP This Report of Waste Discharge (RWD) for improvements to the French Camp RV Park and Golf Course(RV Park) Wastewater System has been prepared for the California Regional Water Quality Control Board(Regional Board) to provide information required to issue Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs)for the land application of treated domestic wastewater. The RWD provides background data, and addresses water quality and other issues associated with the proposed land application system. Subjects addressed in the RWD follow the recommended guidelines from the Regional Board for the land application of treated domestic wastewater, including wastewater quality characteristics, anticipated design flows, land application area description,wastewater management plan, and groundwater quality impacts. An Anti-Degradation Plan has been prepared for the project and submitted under separate cover. The Anti-Degradation Plan establishes a method to measure baseline criteria and project impacts for groundwater and surface water. INTRODUCTION The RV Park is located in San Joaquin County near the intersection of French Camp Road and State Route 99. The location of the RV Park is shown in Figure 1. The site is approximately 96 acres and currently includes 196 recreational vehicle spaces, a nine-hole golf course, caretaker residence, laundromat, and restaurant/golf course clubhouse. A site map of the RV Park is provided in Figure 2. Wastewater generated at the RV Park is treated at an onsite wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) consisting of extended aeration, clarification,multimedia filtration, and ozone disinfection. The WWTP is currently permitted under National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES) Permit No. CA 0083682 to treat a maximum flow of 40,000 gallons per day(gpd). Wastewater treated at the WWTP is currently either used to irrigate the golf course or discharge to Lone Tree Creek, which runs through the site. Treated wastewater has not been discharged to the creek in at Ieast one year. A draft Cease and Desist Order(CDO)was issued by the Regional Board in 2006,but not finalized. The CDO states that the WWTP is not able to consistently comply with effluent limits for organochlorine pesticides, aluminum, ammonia,boron, iron, manganese, nitrate (as nitrogen), electrical conductivity,turbidity, and coliform. The CDO requires the RV Park to implement a method of complying with the effluent limits. Methods of obtaining compliance listed in the CDO include ceasing discharge to Lone Tree Creek, evaluating available dilution/assimilative capacity in Lone Tree Creek, utilizing pollution prevention activities, or constructing additional treatment facilities.
