REASON FOR AMENDMENT TO NOA <br /> On 7 February 2018 the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (Central <br /> Valley Water Board) Executive Officer issued a Notice of Applicability (NOA) to Harvest <br /> Power California, LLC (the Discharger) for the Harvest-Lathrop Composting Facility <br /> (Facility) for coverage under Water Quality Order 2015-0121-DWQ, General Waste <br /> Discharge Requirements for Composting Operations (hereafter General Order). Issuance <br /> of the NOA (State Water Resources Control Board General Order 2015-0121-DWQ- <br /> R5S009) was based on review of the Discharger's Report of Waste Discharge (ROWD) <br /> submitted on 3 August 2016, and subsequent information which was determined to.be <br /> complete on 25 January 2018 for the facility. The ROWD included a Technical Report, <br /> Notice of Intent (NOI), and Filing Fee, to obtain coverage under the General Order for the <br /> above-referenced facility. <br /> On 30 April 2018 the Discharger met with Central Valley Water Board staff to discuss a <br /> proposed change to their NOA. Due to a potential future expansion of the facility the <br /> Discharger proposed moving its Detention Pond#2 from the approved location along the <br /> western edge of the facility (See Attachment 1) to the southern end of the facility (See <br /> Attachment 2). The Discharger is not proposing to reduce the wastewater storage capacity <br /> of either Detention Pond#1 or Detention Pond#2. On 30 October 2018, the Discharger <br /> submitted final construction plans, specifications, and a Construction Quality Assurance <br /> (CQA) plan for the proposed changes to the Discharger's NOA. <br /> Therefore, the purpose of this amendment is to recommend that the Regional Water Board <br /> approve changes to the location of construction of Detention Pond#2 and associated <br /> grading plans which directs wastewater from the composting area to Detention Pond #2 <br /> and Detention Pond #1. <br /> KARL E.
