Mr. Jack Verderame - 2 - 9 September 2003 <br /> fountains".,The recreational vehicle park is located within the golf course grounds and may <br /> be impacted by the adjacent golf course spray irrigation system through the drifting of <br /> aerosol mist onto outdoor picnic and play areas as well as into the vehicles. The area <br /> between the RV sites and the golf course greens is often less than 50 feet. RV sites along <br /> the golf course have patios, picnic and play areas that are less than ten feet from the irrigated <br /> areas. It is inevitable that aerosol mist created by spray irrigation will contact these areas. <br /> 2. Discharge Specification C.5 states: "Signs with proper wording of sufficient size shall be <br /> placed at areas of access and around the perimeter of all areas used for effluent disposal to <br /> alert the public of the use of reclaimed water". In addition, Provision FA states: <br /> "Reclaimed water controllers, valves, etc. shall be affixed with reclaimed water warning <br /> signs, and these and quick couplers and sprinkler heads shall be of a type, or secured in <br /> such a manner, that permits operation by authorized personnel only". Signs have been <br /> posted around the treatment plant; however, these do not identify that the surrounding golf <br /> courses are irrigated with reclaimed water, and as such are insufficient to comply with the <br /> Waste Discharge Requirements. <br /> 3. Provision F.6 requires that a contingency plan be submitted that outlines the specific <br /> measures to be taken, including agency notifications, when effluent fails to meet required <br /> standards. This plan has not been submitted. <br /> 4. Monitoring and Reporting Program No. 95-054 (MRP) requires daily effluent monitoring of <br /> the flow from the ponds to Lone Tree Creek. Discharges from the ponds to Lone Tree Creek <br /> have intermittently occurred but have not been reported in the facility's self-monitoring <br /> reports. Additionally, the MRP requires receiving water monitoring for months when there <br /> is a discharge to Lone Tree Creek. Receiving water monitoring has not been reported, in <br /> violation of the MRP. <br /> Finally, we are not aware of French Camp Golf and RV Park ever having completed a report <br /> conforming to the engineering report requirements of Sections 60323, Title 22, California Code of <br /> Regulations, demonstrating that the wastewater will be consistently treated to a disinfected tertiary <br /> level and that the wastewater will be disposed of in a manner that complies with Title 22 (See <br /> Attachment A for report requirements). <br /> Pursuant to Section 13267 of the California Water Code,the French Camp Golf and RV Park shall, by <br /> 19 September 2003, provide a report to the Regional Board outlining your actions taken to: <br /> 1. Protect public health by achieving compliance with total coliform organisms effluent <br /> limitations or implementing a strategy to cease the discharge; <br /> 2. Protect public health by ceasing all irrigation with inadequately disinfected sewage effluent, <br /> or precluding public contact; <br /> 3. Prevent further windblown drift of effluent into public areas from spray irrigation; <br /> 4. Post the public areas and mark the irrigation system components to assure adequate <br />
