City of Lathrop 3 20 October 2014 <br /> The EKI report also stated that: <br /> "The capture and separate disposal of the high-TDS discharges from the water softening <br /> system and the broth line described above are the result of recent modifications <br /> implemented by Swiss/Hormel in an attempt to reduce its TDS discharge. Other TDS <br /> reducing modifications recently implemented by Swiss/Hormel include: <br /> • Elimination of the plant's meatball line, <br /> • Reduction in the use of caustic chemicals for cleaning; and <br /> • Extension of the production shift on the crumbles line to reduce the number of <br /> sanitation cycles by 40 percent." <br /> Questions: <br /> a) Has SAS continued to implement the salinity control measures listed above since 2009? <br /> b) If not, what salinity control measures are being implemented by SAS? <br /> 4. The City submitted two Wastewater Discharge Permits. One permit is for American Swiss <br /> Sausage and the other one is for In-N-Out Burger. <br /> Questions: <br /> a) Are these two companies the only significant industrial users? <br /> b) Has the City identified all significant industrial users in Crossroads Industrial Park? <br /> c) If so, include company names, their wastewater flow rates and monitoring data, especially <br /> TDS data.
