2 Our proposal is to process the waste water with a tertiary system, aeration, clarification, chlorination, filtration and ozonation. We will be below 10-10 with biological oxygen demand (BOD) and the suspended solids and around 2 with the coliform count. After processing the reclaimed water will be stored in the aerated pond to be used in irrigation of the landscaped areas. The bubblers are set at ground level and the planter strips are filled with approximately 6 inches of wood chips. As the water in the planter area rises so does the wood chips, never exposing the public to the water. Another area being explored is the I-5 off ramp slope. Presently only weeds adorn the slopes and generally is an eye sore. We have requested Cal Trans to consider allowing this project to furnish water for the irrigation of trees and shrubs on the highway front parallel to the property line. Temperature, evaporation and precipitation graph has been included. 1979 was on the up swing of the wet cycle and 1983 was probably at the peak of the wet cycle. The wet months of the year are October, November, December, January, February and March. In 1979 there was a total of 20. 73 inches of rainfall and in 1983 a total of 30. 64 inches. During the same time period respectfully we had the following evaporation; 1979 - 13 . 80 inches and 1983 - 12 . 59 inches. Since rainfall does not occur every day during the wet season, therefore, water from the holding pond can be spread around the landscape increasing the storage capacity during wet days. The wet season will decrease the use of the R.V. park reducing the daily flow by several thousand gallons. The plant will adjust by reducing the number of batches processed in a day Although the Woodbridge Irrigation Canal passes through the property, Reclamation District 348 will not allow processed waste water or surface drainage water to enter the canal system. It has not been determined if the property has water rights on said Woodbridge Irrigation Canal. Public Health concerns are paramount for the discharge, given the uses in this project. The processed water will have received two stages of disinfection after settling of the solids occurs. Dosing with chlorine prior to filtering and ozone after_ the filter and prior to going into the pond. .The key to successful treatment of the waste water is a good operation and maintenance program for the treatment plant. The Barnyard_ development has made a commitment to have a certified operator for the plant. A small lab will be installed in the plant for checking samples and a contract laboratory (An Lab) in Sacramento will check their work.
