WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS ORDER R5-2013-0028 -28- DELICATO VINEYARDS, INC. DELICATO FAMILY VINEYARDS SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY 92. Water Code section 13267(b) states: In conducting an investigation specified in subdivision (a), the regional board may require that any person who has discharged, discharges, or is suspected of discharging, of who proposes to discharge within its region ... shall furnish, under penalty of perjury, technical or monitoring program reports which the board requires. The burden, including costs of these reports, shall bear a reasonable relationship to the need for the reports and the benefits to be obtained from the reports. In requiring those reports, the regional board shall provide the person with a written explanation with regard to the need for the reports, and shall identify the evidence that supports requiring that person to provide the reports. The technical reports required by this Order and the attached Monitoring and Reporting Program R5-2013-0028 are necessary to ensure compliance with these waste discharge requirements. The Discharger owns and operates the facility that discharges the waste subject to this Order. 93. The California Department of Water Resources sets standards for the construction and destruction of groundwater wells (hereafter DWR Well Standards), as described in California Well Standards Bulletin 74-90 (June 1991) and Water Well Standards: State of California Bulletin 94-81 (December 1981). These standards, and any more stringent standards adopted by the state or county pursuant to Water Code section 13801, apply to all monitoring wells used to monitor the impacts of wastewater storage or disposal governed by this Order. 94. A Negative Declaration was certified by the San Joaquin County Community Development Department on 30 November 2011, in accordance with CEQA (Pub. Resources Code, § 21000 et seq.). The Initial Study and Negative Declaration describe the project as expanding winery production from crushing and processing 140,000 tons of grapes per year to 200,000 tons per year over a five year period. Facility upgrades include additional winery equipment, buildings, process wastewater storage capacity, and upgrading the process wastewater system and management operations for vineyard and crop irrigation. The Initial Study found that the project would not cause potentially significant impacts to water quality and that mitigation measures were not necessary. San Joaquin County, the lead agency, requested that the Central Valley Water Board review the Draft CEQA documents as a responsible agency, and the Board issued comments on the project on 16 December 2011. The comment letter did not request additional analysis of potential water quality impacts or mitigation measures to protect water quality. Compliance with this Order will prevent potentially significant impacts to water quality. 95. Pursuant to Water Code section 13263(g), discharge is a privilege, not a right, and adoption of this Order does not create a vested right to continue the discharge.
