Source Control
b) Update on Caffe Classico Source Control Issues
The facility modifications needed for Caffe Classico to operate in a zero discharge status
for the process wastewater generated were completed on March 1, 2013. Caffe Classico
ceased operations on February 27, 2013 to allow these modifications to occur without
having to manage process wastewater during the construction activities. A Class III
Industrial User Zero Discharge Permit was issued to Caffe Classico on March 1, 2013.
Production resumed on Monday, March 4, 2013 and has been continuing in compliance
with the zero discharge permit conditions. Caffe Classico understands that additional
work is needed to comply with the settlement agreement of the enforcement action (e.g.
update Standard Operating Practices, training of staff) and is planning to comply with
these tasks by the deadlines. On March 14, 2013, Environmental Services Division
Manager Danea Gemmell sent a letter dated to Tom Heffernan, property owner for Caffe
Classico requesting payment of additional capacity fees owed to the District. A deadline
of April 30, 2013 was set for either the fees to be paid or alternate arrangements to be
made before the fee is declared delinquent and additonal charges incurred.
