The submitted report is incomplete and will need to be revised prior to receiving the Regional Board's concurrence with further disposal of Tartaric Manufacturing's Pond 4 wastewater onto Sierra Organic's windrows. This letter identifies the report deficiencies. Please submit a revised report, which addresses all of the comments below, no later than 30 June 2002: - Please submit a facility map at a 1:100 scale that depicts the site boundaries, the location of any domestic or monitoring well(s), the surface water drainage pattern, and the prevailing wind direction in relation to the windrow orientation. - The plan does not include enough detail to evaluate if the wastewater application procedure would successfully reduce the threat to water quality that currently exists. The wastewater supplied from Tartaric Manufacturing for this application is considered a"designated waste" under California Water Code Section 13173. Therefore,the presence of any leachate or over-spray related to the application is a violation of California Code of Regulations Title 27. Please include a detailed description of the best management practices (i.e. an application rate, waste storage plan, a contingency plan, etc...) and equipment design that will be used to eliminate the generation of runoff and leachate containing Tartaric Manufacturing wastewater or constituents from that wastewater adjacent to or beneath the windrows. - This report must be submitted to all interested parties for comment. During our 15 May 2002 discussion, Staff conveyed to you that this report must receive concurrence from all interested parties. The report received by the Board was only copied to Mr. Loren Jessop of Sierra Organics. Please provide evidence that the revised report has the approval of the San Joaquin County Environmental Health Department, the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District, and the facility permit holder, Forward landfill.
