Messrs. Whitlow and Columbini - 2 - 31 December 2010 <br /> - r <br /> Wastewater is generated from fruit washing, plant washdown, equipment cleaning, and boiler <br /> blowdown. The wastewater is considered to be high or low strength depending on the <br /> wastewater source and resulting constituent concentrations. <br /> • Low strength wastewater from olive washing and routine plant sanitation activities is <br /> directed into floor drains, piped to a 2,000-gallon underground storage tank (UST), <br /> pumped to a 10,000-gallon storage tank equipped with totalizing flow meters, and <br /> subsequently sprinkler applied at an 85-acre cherry orchard LAA. This wastewater may <br /> be applied to land,;" <br /> • High strength wastewater consisting of clean-in-place solutions, boiler blowdown, and <br /> any boiler feed water treatment residuals (such as ion exchange brine) is, directed by <br /> floor drains to a second 2,000-gallon UST. This wastewater may not be applied to land <br /> and shall be disposed of at the East Bay Municipal Utility District wastewater system or <br /> equivalent facility. <br /> Processing activities will produce some residual solids. 'Olives brought to the mill contain <br /> leaves and stems,.which-are separated prior to olive milling. The olive processing activity <br /> produces pomace (the pulpy residue that remains from olive pressing). The combined <br /> residual solids.will be land applied to a 35-acre olive orchard, or disposed of off-site at a <br /> landfill, compost facility,:or as animal feed. Land applied solids will be applied directly to the <br /> LAA with spreaders.and then disced into the soil. The estimated application rate is between <br /> three and five tons per acre. Residual solids will not be applied 24 hours before, after, or <br /> during a storm-or when soil is saturated. <br /> MONITORING AND REPORTING <br /> This Order includes specific monitoring.requirements for you to implement and reporting <br /> requirements you must comply with, including routine monitoring and reporting to the Central <br /> Valley Water Board.
