WASTE DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS ORDER R5-2012-0103 - 23 - CONSTELLATION BRANDS U.S. OPERATIONS, INC. dba WOODBRIDGE WINERY WOODBRIDGE WINERY SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY b. Discharge of treated wastewater to the LAAs is exempt based on Section 20090(h). Application of treated wastewater to LAAs will result in additional waste treatment, water reuse, and nutrient recycling. Natural processes in the LAAs provide the additional treatment; percolate wastewater/supplemental irrigation/storm water moving below the crop root zones will recharge groundwater; and nutrients will be taken up by crops and removed from the LAAs. 68. Although the facility is exempt from Title 27, the statistical data analysis methods of Title 27, section 20415(e) are appropriate for determining whether the discharge complies with Groundwater Limitations specified in this Order. 69. The State Water Board adopted Order 97-03-DWQ (NPDES General Permit CAS000001) specifying waste discharge requirements for discharges of storm water associated with industrial activities, and requiring submittal of a Notice of Intent by all affected industrial dischargers. Because storm water that falls on processing areas is directed to the wastewater system, the Discharger is not required to obtain coverage under NPDES General Permit CAS000001. 70. A Negative Declaration was approved by the San Joaquin County Community Development Department on 9 December 1997 for the expansion of the facility per the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). However, the 1997 environmental document did not envision expansion of the LAAs as currently proposed. A subsequent Negative Declaration was approved by the San Joaquin County Community Development Department on 17 May 2012 for the expansion of the winery in five phases, including discharge of wastewater to 100 acres of LAAs. 71. 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. PUBLIC NOTICE 72. All the above and the supplemental information and details in the attached Information Sheet, incorporated by reference herein, were considered in establishing the following conditions of discharge. 73. The Discharger and interested agencies and persons have been notified of the Central Valley Water Board’s intent to prescribe waste discharge requirements for this discharge, and they have been provided an opportunity to submit written comments and an opportunity for a public hearing. 74. All comments pertaining to the discharge were heard and considered in a public hearing. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Order 87-184 is rescinded except for purposes of enforcement and pursuant to sections 13263 and 13267 of the California Water Code, Constellation Brands US Operations Incorporated, its agents, successors, and assigns, in order to meet the provisions contained in Division 7 of the California Water Code and regulations adopted thereunder, shall comply with the following:
