REPORT OF WASTE DISCHARGE <br />FOR THE <br />FRENCH CAMP RV PARK AND GOLF COURSE <br />CANADA COVE LLP <br />This Report of Waste Discharge (RWD) for improvements to the French Camp RV Park and <br />Golf Course (RV Park) Wastewater System has been prepared for the California Regional Water <br />Quality Control Board (Regional Board) to provide information required to issue Waste <br />Discharge Requirements (WDRs) for the land application of treated domestic wastewater. The <br />RWD provides background data, and addresses water quality and other issues associated with the <br />proposed land application system. Subjects addressed in the RWD follow the recommended <br />guidelines from the Regional Board for the land application of treated domestic wastewater, <br />including wastewater quality characteristics, anticipated design flows, land application area <br />description, wastewater management plan, and groundwater quality impacts. <br />An Anti -Degradation Plan has been prepared for the project and submitted under separate cover. <br />The Anti -Degradation Plan establishes a method to measure baseline criteria and project impacts <br />for groundwater and surface water. <br />INTRODUCTION <br />The RV Park is located in San Joaquin County near the intersection of French Camp Road and <br />State Route 99. The location of the RV Park is shown in Figure 1. The site is approximately <br />96 acres and currently includes 196 recreational vehicle spaces, a nine -hole golf course, <br />caretaker residence, laundromat, and restaurant/golf course clubhouse. A site map of the RV <br />Park is provided in Figure 2. <br />Wastewater generated at the RV Park is treated at an onsite wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) <br />consisting of extended aeration, clarification, multimedia filtration, and ozone disinfection. The <br />WWTP is currently permitted under National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) <br />Permit No. CA 0083682 to treat a maximum flow of 40,000 gallons per day (gpd). Wastewater <br />treated at the WWTP is currently either used to irrigate the golf course or discharge to Lone Tree <br />Creek, which runs through the site. Treated wastewater has not been discharged to the creek in at <br />Ieast one year. <br />A draft Cease and Desist Order (CDO) was issued by the Regional Board in 2006, but not <br />finalized. The CDO states that the WWTP is not able to consistently comply with effluent limits <br />for organochlorine pesticides, aluminum, ammonia, boron, iron, manganese, nitrate (as nitrogen), <br />electrical conductivity, turbidity, and coliform. The CDO requires the RV Park to implement a <br />method of complying with the effluent limits. Methods of obtaining compliance listed in the <br />CDO include ceasing discharge to Lone Tree Creek, evaluating available dilution/assimilative <br />capacity in Lone Tree Creek, utilizing pollution prevention activities, or constructing additional <br />treatment facilities. <br />French Camp — Report of Waste Discharge 1 SAB027102 <br />July 2008 n:lsab027102\doruments\rwd\frenchcamprwdju€y rev final.doc <br />
