On 20 February 2020, the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (Central
Valley Water Board) adopted the Conditional Waiver of Waste Discharge Requirements
for Small Food Processors, Wineries, and Related Agricultural Processors within the
Central Valley Region, Order R5-2020-0002 (the Waiver).
We are in receipt of your Notice of Intent (NOI) dated 14 May 2020, which stated that you
intend to comply with the Tier 1 conditions of the Waiver. British Bulldog Brewery, LLC
(the facility) is located at 14540 Camaren Park Way, Chico in Butte County. The facility is
owned by Stephen Kay and operated by British Bulldog Brewery, LLC. Tier 1 allows land
application of up to 10,000 gallons of wastewater per year for irrigation of landscaping or
crops and land application of residual solids (pomace) associated with that volume of
wastewater. Any process wastewater or residual solids generated in excess of those
amounts must be disposed of off-site at an appropriately permitted facility. If you wish to
land apply more wastewater or residual solids, you must submit a new application and the
applicable fee and obtain coverage under Tier 2 or 3 of the Waiver prior to increasing the
discharge volume.
Based on the information provided in the NOI, we have determined that the discharge
meets the required conditions for approval under the Waiver. You are hereby assigned
