Unauthorized Discharge |
On 9 January 2023 Board staff received an OES report (attached) filed by a third party stating that a pump was being used during the night to pump wastewater from the facility?s ponds into the creek. Board staff also received video evidence of the pump. Board staff performed a site inspection in response later that day. At the time of the inspection Board staff observed the pump located on the berm of the treatment ponds adjacent to the creek. The intake hose was in Pond 2 and the discharge hose was in Pond 1. However, there was evidence that the discharge hose had been laying on the grass between the pump and the creek, and cinder blocks to hold the end of the hose were in the creek bed consistent with the photos provided in the complaint (see attached photo log). The onsite managers stated that El Dorado County Environmental Health (County) had been to the Facility earlier that day. They said at that time the pump?s intake hose had been in Pond 2 and the discharge hose had been running down the side of the berm into the creek. The County had asked that the discharge hose be removed from the creek, and the onsite managers had complied. Based on the video evidence provided to Board staff, the onsite manager?s statement, and Board staff?s observations, the pump has caused or threatens to cause a violation of the following WDR requirements: Discharge Prohibition A.2: ?The by-pass or overflow of untreated or partially treated waste is prohibited.? |
