The main concept is to collect our <br /> existing wastewater in our concrete storage tanks, pre-treat the water with select bacteria <br /> to reduce COD, BOD and nitrates, discharge to a double lined pond for aeration and <br /> evaporation, and then apply to alfalfa for irrigation. We have been working closely with <br /> the State RWQCB, S.J County Health Dept., Neil Anderson and Associates and Mike <br /> Smith Engineering to develop an approach acceptable to all parties. <br /> We would propose adding one additional pond this year and two more ponds over the <br /> next two, years as necessary to accept and treat other small winery process water. Each <br /> pond would have the capacity to handle 750,000 gallons of process water yearly. <br /> Through the use of pre-treatment bacteria and aggressive aeration in the ponds, all odors <br /> will be eliminated. All solids remaining after treatment would be profiled for proper <br /> disposal, or used for fertilizer on our alfalfa, or used as amendments in Kellogg's Garden <br /> Products next door. <br /> Please call me if you have any questions or need additional information. <br /> Sincere <br /> 0 <br /> 0 it� <br /> c iie <br /> Principal <br />
